Questions about Zipabox compatibility/features

Hi everyone,

I'm seriously considering the Zipabox as my home automation solution. I have (or will have) the following devices:

- Siber Sky (Brink Renovent) Ventilation with KNX interface

- Z-wave devices such as TKB & Duwi on/off switches

- Nest & Tado thermostats

- Roomba vacuum cleaner with Roowifi add-on

- Sonos Play:1 & Connect

- Somfy RTS blinds & awnings

It's hellishly difficult (probably impossible) to find a system that supports all of those, but Zipabox comes pretty damn close. As I understand it, it will control KNX devices (with the extra module), and also operate Somfy blinds, Sonos, Nest and Z-wave devices. Searching around also suggests that Duwi & TKB on/off switches will work OK.

I understand that Somfy control requires the 433MHz module.

My questions:

- Can Sonos components be added or removed from groups?

- Does Nest support require some kind of extra option? (I read $49 somewhere but I can't find a definitive list of premium options anywhere)

- Has anyone managed to control a Tado thermostat or Roowifi, or do plans exist for adding them?

- Does the KNX control require a wired connection to the devices? (There is an RF version of KNX)

- In browsing the forums I saw that HTTP requests are limited unless certain premium features are activated. Is this true?

- I know that Tado has published an API. Example of usage:

Since it appears that Zipabox allows you to send HTTP requests, I presume that means that some interaction with the Tado should be possible?

My overall impression of the Zipabox is that it's a very promising system, but a bit rough around the edges. If I'm convinced that it's got a good future, I'll probably take the plunge.

(If I've put too many questions in one post I can split it up :-) )

Many thanks for any info.
