Project Idea: ZigBee for Vera via MySensors Interface


  • Hero Member

    I don't see this referenced anywhere so I toss this out there as a thought provoker. Actually doing it is probably beyond my pay grade but I know many of you guys are way, way beyond me in this area.

    Vera does not support ZigBee devices but there are some with no ZWave corollary and some cases where there are comparable devices the ZigBee version is often a lot less expensive that their ZWave counterparts.

    There are ZigBee interfaces for Arduino boards so does it seem likely that a ZigBee interface for Vera could be assembled using Arduino at a reasonable cost and effort.

    Discuss among yourselves 🙂



  • +1 for Zigbee with Vera, but a few reasons it hasn't already been done are pointed out here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,8040.0.html

    Thanks, from the discussion then it appears to be a fairly "messy" problem so I'm guessing this is not the platform on which it will be solved 🙂



  • I am hoping it will happen soon. There are more and more zigbee only products that would be really nice to integrate into Vera.
