    *Special note: The CastleHUB has built in WiFi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth LE radios. Any device using those radios, as well as cloud-based devices, are supported with no additional hardware required. Other protocols and devices may require an adapter.

    Also, these cost quite some more already....

    I wonder why they list all those z-wave devices: https://www.castleos.com/CompatibleDevices.aspx
    Would've been nice if they specified a little clearer that you need an adapter for it.

    Wow... It's Homey's long lost sibling. Now to figure out who turned to the dark-side. C++ vs NodeJs. Although Homey has it's hick-ups ~*kuch*~ I think Homey is more user friendly, and a more open-source kinda domotica. Considering the price difference and lack of difference in capabilities I'll go for Homey.

    And don't forget 2 years ago Athom made a sissling movie of Homey... Now Homey is just beginning to work like the Domotica it promissed to be, I figure it's no different for that castle thingy.

    Ik ben voor noch tegenstander van het product maar wat jij schrijft is niet correct.

    op de site staat duidelijk:

    Did you guys read their forum? It probably worse then we experiencing with Homey! Considering they have less protocols, antennas and radios to configure I expected a more stable product. But after reading their forum I'm glad I bought Homey. The product is getting more stable each update.

    i am not using voice commands, only voice feedback. Only struggling with geo fencing, it's not stable enough to depend on. It doesn't matter if I use ifttt or the Homey app. Comming weekend I will receive my fingerprint reader. Together with a rpi I hope presence detection will work.
