Fuse Connect - Smart Home Unified: Campaign Now LIVE on Indigogo

Have you looked at Zipatile? It’s been available for a few months, definitely combines home automation with a video intercom, has a touch screen, and is even supposed to work with smartthings although I don’t know of anyone who’s done that yet.

I confess I really want one of these, although I definitely don’t need it. But I’m so curious to see what it actually does on a daily basis. Reviews have all been good.

I think the only thing that’s kept it from taking off is the price point. at just under $400, it’s a little too expensive for the typical smartthings/vera customer, but requires more technical expertise than the professionally installed systems.

But dang, it’s a sexy beast…:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: And shipping now.

The ZipaTile is primarily a wall-mount Android-powered home automation controller (v5 Lollipop) that combines an 8-inch touchscreen tablet (800 x 1280) with built-in communication radios and sensors for Motion, Shock, Sound, Light, Temperature, and Humidity. It also comes with an external temperature sensor, and provides a dual dry output and dry input for wiring in other external devices.

With an Alexa Skill as well.

Tagging @johnconstantelo and @Navat604 because, hello! A touchscreen controller with dry contacts! :heart_eyes:

I don’t mean to hijack the Fuse thread, so we should continue any follow-ups in the zipatile thread, but the point is the zipatile is available now. The fuse is still just marketing.
