What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned
in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way
communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other
nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the
transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any
other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are
suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.
Product Description
Sensors, switches, thermostats, cameras and many devices more will make you home intelligent. But all these components need a
central controller.
The second-generation POPP HUB is a slim and compact IP smart home gateway, equipped with Z-Wave wireless technology. Therewith
you can control your whole home automation network via remote switches, smartphone, desktop and tablet pc. Inside one network the
POPP HUB controls up to 230 Z-Wave components manufacturer-independently and allows management of direct connections
(associations) between the devices. These associations can be used also without a central gateway.
The latest POPP HUB hardware generation is still more flexible. Beside already installed WiFi and Z-Wave technologies the HUB can
integrate further technologies such as EnOcean via internal and external USB ports. The POPP HUB enables you to control your home
centralized and flexible ? and without any wiring effort.
The HUB works with Z-Way, the fist Z-Wave Plus certified Z-Wave controller software, which also connects devices with different
technologies with each other.
The POPP HUB is focused on easy operation and reliable security architecture. Therewith it is one of the most secure smart home
gateways generally. Thanks to the integrated device database and step-by-step instructions any new smart home device can be
connected quick and easy. The POPP HUB?s big advantage is its capability to integrate all certified Z-Wave devices with all of theirs
functions. Other gateways block some device functions by itself.
