Product Description
This device is a certified Z-Wave Plus smart home controller which can be used to connect and control different Z-Wave
devices within one network and additionally provides high-level Home Automation functionality (scripting etc.).
The Popp HUB functionality can be accessed via the Web UI, which can be opened in a browser on a PC, and also via
iOS and Android applications. For custom integrations, HTTP / JavaScript API is available. The Popp HUB is based on
Z-Way software stack from Z-Wave.Me. For more information about Z-Way software stack and its features, please see
Z-Wave.Me forum at
As a certified Z-Wave Plus device the HUB can communicate with all other Z-Wave certified devices regardless of vendor
or year of origin and it implements the enhanced functions of Z-Wave Plus. The HUB can communicate in a secure
environment if the other device supports the secure environment too. If not the controller will fall back to the normal
communication mode automatically. During inclusion the use of secure environment can be suppressed for performance
reason if desired.
In Z-Wave all non-battery powered device will act as routers for other devices to form a so-called meshed network.
