INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing Zipabox smart home automation
controller. This guide describes how to install, program and
operate your Zipabox. Zipabox makes every hoe smart by
using advanced technology to hide the complexity of home
networking - delivering a simple smart home. It plugs into any
outlet in the home and automatically talks to all the connected
devices in the house, connecting them to the cloud so that
consumers can control them using tablets, smart phones,
computers or TVs— at home or on the go.

The Zipabox Gateway supports variety of communication
standards including Z-WAVE, ZIGBEE, KNX, ONVIF, and
UPnP.

The Zipabox’s capabilities can easily be expanded using
“snap-in” expansion modules that will add support for new

interfaces and functionalities, communication standards and
protocols, etc.

Once configured, the gateway works stand-alone, but also
features cloud support for advanced monitoring, messaging
and programming services.
