EM6500

Post by menno26 »

Does anybody has some experience with the EM6500 controller from Eminent?

I am testing the unit right now and do like the UI very much!
The set up and configuration is very simple. I also have a Vera V1 but the EM6500 beats the Vera on user friendly aspects!

Turns out that the EM6500 is using the HCB or home control box software.
They added a Z-wave chip to control Z-wave products. I contacted Eminent if they also support third party products like everspring or Duwi.
I got a response that Eminent is applying for a Z-wave certification and that in the second part of this year a new software release is planned that will support third party equipment.

I'm not sure if the EM6500 is just a HCB inside with a touchscreen, or a different platform...
If you go to the ip adres of your EM6500 and add /config to the address you will see the same config page as the HCB has.
Even some traces to HCB are visible in the config area.
