Control your smart home with RaspBee II and your Raspberry Pi

Conclusions

The RaspBee II module makes it easy to manage devices supporting the Zigbee protocol. The Rasbee II's control software is very flexible – you can even use it on remote machines via VNC, and the accompanying software supports most of the Zigbee devices on the market. You can even integrate older systems without any manual configuration, provided the devices are not burdened with incompatibilities caused by proprietary extensions.
