Zipabox is a next-generation automation controler that lets you control all your home electronics. Most often it uses simple, reliable, low-power radio waves that easily travel through walls, floors and cabinets, but it can also use existing powerlines or BUS wires to connect all your home electronics. Throught Zipabox multi-enviroment capabilites, Zipato control can be added to almost any electronic device in your house, such as appliances, window shades, thermostats and home lighting. Modular design allows functional expansion by just snapping in additional modules. A variety of expanding modules are already available for increasing Zipato functionality (i.e. security module, z-wave module, power module, etc...)
