ZIPATO Zipabox 2 multisystem home automation controller

Everyone wants to be able to control their home from anywhere and automate routine activities around the house. Protecting the home, saving energy and making life easier are obvious benefits, but the real challenge is how to do it easily and at a lower cost.

The Zipato Zipabox 2 home automation controller uses advanced technology to hide the complexity of the home network, providing a smart and simple home. It connects to any electrical outlet and automatically talks to all connected devices in the house, connecting them to the Internet so that users can control them via digital tablets, smartphones, computers or TV, at home or at home. Also at a distance.

Simple to install and easy to use, the Zipabox is much cheaper and feature-rich than traditional custom solutions. Zipabox2 is the new brain of the connected and intelligent home.

How does Zipabox2 make every home smart?

The Zipabox 2 controller has the ability to communicate with a variety of protocols such as Z-Wave, ZigBee, KNX, ONVIF, UPnP, and DLNA (via optional extensions). Additionally, the capabilities of the Zipabox controller can be easily expanded by adding expansion modules that support new interfaces and functions, communication protocols and standards, and more.

Once configured, the Zipabox becomes autonomous, but it also has the support of the my.zipato.com platform to benefit from supervision, messaging and scheduling services. The intuitive user interface allows users to program their own rules and scenarios without any prior programming experience.

A simple and intuitive rule creation interface

Inspired by the "Scratch" project at MIT, Zipato has developed an online graphical tool for simple and fun automation programming. By using Zipato Rule Builder, users can easily create or modify any automation process in their home without any prior experience in programming or automation.

Like a puzzle, this tool offers pre-created puzzle blocks where you can drag and drop different device icons and link them based on their shapes and colors. A true child's play!

Events can be triggered by:

Conditions (various)
Change of state of a device.
A schedule
Sunrise / sunset (scrolling)
