The ConBee is a versatile USB gateway – the hub of your smart home system. It allows local control and connection of smart home devices without the cloud. The ConBee can be used across all manufacturers for all smart home devices that work with the ZigBee wireless protocol. It is operated via the USB port of a computer, which serves as a server.
Setting up the ConBee requires considerable programming skill, and running your own server with high security standards is also technically challenging. Therefore, tech novices and smart home beginners should do their research before purchasing and seek technical assistance if necessary – or opt for a cloud-based smart home solution, which is significantly easier to install.
