Sounds interesting, but i am only curious what the controlling software will be ... if it can't connect/run to/with DomotiGa, HS, etc ... it will be reasonable useless for most people.
DomotiGa / Z-Wave / RFXCom / Visonic PowerMaster / Home Assistant / Zigbee2MQTT / DSMR Reader / Toon1 (rooted)

I´m guessing it will act like an simple controller like a düwi wallcontroller or maybe as an ordinary switch witch can switch TV off via HDMI-CEC or something. Guess we'll have to wait till the end of the year and set aside some money ;)

Dune is already very good in home automation.

More than a year ago I already said "I wish all things were as easy as with this HDI Dune".
Read http://dune-hd.com/firmware/ip_control/ ... erview.txt
and you know that you can throw away the Dune IR Remote :wink:
IP control has proven to be very reliable (as reliable as your network) here during the last 14 months; I don't see any reason why a Zwave layer should be added. These new products have network connectivity, so?
Every self-respecting HA system could/should already have Dune Media Player support :lol:

Hmmm ... if they make the Dune Z-Wave as easy as it shows there, i will be first one to start "abusing" it (when it supports notifications ofcourse) :-) The Open Z-Wave lib is nice, but not perfect.
