Control your entire home with the Zipato Zipabox! As the main controller for the Zipato automation and security system, the Zipabox serves as a gateway between the Internet and your home control devices (sold separately). Designed to provide home automation, security, and energy savings all in one unit, the Zipabox supports a variety of technologies through simple, modular customization. The Zipato Zipabox receives programming information from the Zipato web portal through your existing Internet router, and uses wireless radio (RF) technologies, such as Z-Wave, to communicate with your home control devices. Once programming is sent from the cloud to the Zipabox, settings are stored locally, so an Internet connection is not required to operate connected devices. The Zipabox main unit has built-in Z-Wave technology, and can be expanded to support other communication protocols, such as ZigBee, KNX, ONVIF, UPnP, DLNA, and more. As a modular controller, the Zipabox is easily customized with snap-on expansion modules, as shown below and in videos under the Specifications tab. Zipato Web Portal & Smartphone App The Zipato Zipabox includes free access to the Zipato web portal, where you will login online to configure your devices, monitor your home's security, and review energy consumption of metered devices. You’ll also be able to setup multiple users with different access rights, review home event history, set up email and text alerts, and customize your system by adding additional lights, appliances and devices. The web portal can be accessed through any web browser, as well as a free smartphone app. The app is available to download for Apple and Android mobile devices, providing convenient remote control for your home. DIY Customization with Zipato Rule Creator Through the web portal, you can access the Zipato Rule Creator, an online intuitive graphical programming tool that lets you add devices or change settings whenever you want from anywhere in the world. Just log into your account to make changes. No software installation or programming skills are required! The Zipato Rule Creator allows you to create "rules" for your connected devices. Rules trigger events when other events occur. You can easily develop rules yourself with the Rule Creator's comprehensive library of drag and drop micro blocks (control functions), which can be mixed, matched and stacked to create simple or complex control sequences. Events can be triggered by:
