Razberry vs UZB

Post by Stavveh »

Hi,

Can anyone give me a quick run down on the differences between these two solutions?

I am currently looking into purchasing a Z.Wave interface for my Raspberry Pi and do not really understand how they differ with the exception that one is USB, one is GPIO and that there appears to be a significant pricer difference (50%) between the two?

Cheers

The UZB1 is not yet working with Z-way at the moment, but is expected to do so soon. However to be compatible with Z-Way you have to purchase an additional micro firmware, which probably will make the price difference between both devices smaller.
The software to add the micro firmware has not been reseased yet. Not even as beta.
If you do decide to purchase RaZberry, make sure you do get the newer 5 generation version.
That is my current understanding

I do hope the developers will give a formal answer on this matter soon.

Is the generation 5 Razberry the only one that supports Z-Wave Plus?

Actually even the old gen 3 RaZberry partially supports Z-Wave Plus (but of course it is not as energy efficient as gen 5, and its radio is not as good).

And yes, UZB and gen 5 RaZberry both support it.
