Product Details

The Z-WAVE.ME Z-Uno is the perfect solution for DIY home automation systems. It is made for those who are limited by the existing choice of Z-Wave products and want to extend their smart homes with more sensors and actuators; connect LEDs, buttons, switches, motors or any low voltage sensor (including most compatible Arduino sensors) and write your own code (or sketch)  in simplified C language to create your personalized Z-Wave device.

This product integrates with all Australian certified (921.42MHz) Z-Wave controllers including:

• Vera Edge - most popular sensors scales, switches, and dimmers are supported
• Fibaro Home Center 2/Lite - full support from 4.070 (some scales might not be supported)
• Z-Way / RaZberry - full support
