Z-Box
Posted: 10 Sep 2013 15:11
I see the Z-Box available from several retailers right now.
"Z-Box is a fully functional Z-Wave static controller running Z-Wave.Me Z-Way controller software. It is based on an industry-grade PC motherboard and a rugged metal enclosure. The external high performance antenna ensures excellent wireless transmitting and reception. The box offers standard Ethernet connection and a Serial UART for direct access to the underlying Voyage Linux System.
Therefore, it's ideally suited for both consumer and industrial applications such as sensor recording and energy management.
The Z-Way controller software installed on Z-Box is compatible to all other products based on Z-Way (RaZberry, Z-Cloud, ZWay4Win). The Z-Wave-Me Cloud service allows an easy first time setup with detection of local IP address, remote access from browsers outside the home and semi-automated software update function."
When it say compatible what is meant by this. Is say the RaZberry solution as good as Z-Box or just they can co-exist on the same network?
If Z-Box is going to have software with better / more advanced features I'd like to know so I can make an informed purchase.
