ZBPLM is a mul-protocol interface that allows communicaon
from a computer or any device to control and monitor ZigBee,
INSTEON and X10 home automaon devices.
The ZBPLM also enables the setup and interoperability
between ZigBee Home Automaon (HA) devices without the
requirement of a computer.
With the seamless integraon of these three leading home and
building automaon protocols, the limitaons of what you can
accomplish start to disappear!
