As is known to professionals of the smart home market, as well as some of their happy owners, there is a THRONE control system on the market. It is good in that it solves the problems of scalability and intuitiveness, using the 3D scheme of the object at the base of the interface. THRONE was created “from scratch”, and therefore differs from traditional systems in terms of user visual, and in terms of project development.

Many also know that this system was previously sold mainly in the premium segment. THRONE was compatible with expensive KNX and Teletask protocols, as well as slightly cheaper HDL.

However, the world does not stand still, and, as they say in the company, they saw new market trends. THRONE began to look closely at the wireless solutions, DIY segment and the theme of IoT. We started with an obvious step - integration with Z-Wave.
In parallel, the THRONE team launched
crowdfunding on Indiegogo . The essence of the project is to launch a solution for the mass market. This is a hub for “smart home” and a user interface editor. The company promises to do all this in about a year. But for those who do not want to wait ...
And so we got to the main point. One of the “perks” offered as part of the campaign is nothing more than a THRONE license for the Z-Wave Z-Way / RaZberry controller. You can buy it and start using it right now. The cost of this "perk" 149 dollars. That is, in such a somewhat unusual way, you can buy a license for premium visualization for your project for the above-mentioned ridiculous amount.
The company says that this license price is valid only for crowdfunding, and after the end of the company it will be different, although it will still be lower than the one that Tron’s partners in the premium market segment used to see.
How to buy a license THRONE?
What to do next, after buying a license?
The process of developing projects and installing the system is described in the detailed manuals
on the partner site of the developer (the red button at the top right). Now you can use a computer on Windows as a server by adding one of the Z-Wave controller options to it: a
UZB stick with a Z-Way or a
RaZberry controller . That is, having bought a license through Indiegogo, you register on the developer's site and make the project as an ordinary partner, using all the tools and getting full technical support.
What can be implemented on a bunch of THRONE + Z-Wave
Lighting: relay, dimmable, color (RGB), dynamic light, light scenes (presets).
Climatics: temperature sensors, heated floors, ventilation.
Security: electronic locks, motion sensors, leaks, fire.
Also with the "Throne" you can run scripts (scripts) on RaZberry.
What will happen next?
The developers promise to further expand the integration with the Z-Wave protocol. Moreover, in close contact with the Russian and European community. For these purposes, it is planned to use several existing sites and create new ones. Write in the comments what you think about this.
