Zipabox vs Animus.
Need Answer
Hi,
As Zipato is "Excluding" the base users ( owners of Zipabox 1 ), those who helped to get the Box where it is now, I am watching out for replacement of my Zipabox 1.
Before I get to buy a Zipbox 2 or other from Zipato, I was looking to other Boxes out on market, I found that Animus Box, has anyone tested that Box?
I am looking for a Box that can handle ZWave, IP Cameras, 433mhz and have programming possibility as the Rules that Zipato have. I don't care of which programming language it is as I can handle what ever, but I need the possibility to do it ( I have actualy 68 rules and some connected to IFTTT ).
Thanks for any help and answer.

Now I have moved to another System, I found one that was over my dreams, it tooks me 3 days to move all the sensors, and rules to the new one but it was worth it, I am very satisfied with what I have now, so I wanted to thanks Zipato and all the people who helped me with my Zipato, that was a great time, thanks all!

Presence detector and illuminance meter in one device. Zipato PIR motion sensor offers elaborate security and ambient sensing options.

Alternative is a Mini PC (around 250€) where you can install Home Assistant (open source, free), where you can add aeotec zwave usb controller (like 50-60€). You can add zigbee controller (conbee or sonoff, better, 30€), you can add a 433 controller that works with home assistant too (less than 30€, I don't use that).
You can add everything you want, or near that. You control your system without have to rely on cloud.
Obviously, the "negative" (but also positive) side is that you are responsible of your system on every side. So it's mandatory to have a little bit of experience (or is mandatory to want to learn)
On the same system you can add an open source NVR system like Shinobi.video or toher solutions like frigate, that also works with home assistant; adding an external TPU usb (like google coral) you can also do object detection to your nvr system (too much to do that only on cpu).
I also added PiHole to the system to apply DNS filters to my home network.
The limit is your imagination, your time, your needs.
(I'm running all of that, except zwave at least for now - but I already have the zstick-, but not for long, on a minipc with intel N5095 cpu 8gb ram).
