Indeed! I've placed my order with a remark (EU frequency). The good thing is that china is on the same frequency with EU.ThinkPad wrote:Big fat warning!
Doublecheck the frequency they use before buying anything that might end up useless.
Z-Wave uses different frequencies across the globe.

SM-M1 Smart Home Module
Xenon SM-M1 smart modules selected from the most advanced smart home Z-Wave protocol, ZM5202 hardware module within the existing node control functions previously written software, Z-Wave node function, access to Z-Wave Intelligent Systems. Xenon SM-M1 for small and medium size manufacturers to solve the difficulties of the early technology development, saving a lot of development time and costs, especially in the early manufacturer of electrical test intelligent system access and a small amount of trial production, there is great value.
Single product customization:Xenon SM-M1 on ZM5202 hardware node function control module programming software directly, save hardware costs, guarantee convenience and yield production line of hardware products for intelligent single product lot of customization.
Master Gateway: Xenon systems provide Z-Wave master gateway and technical support, we can build up a test platform and the node with the production of forming system sold together.
loud services:Xenon systems provide access to the cloud, eliminating the difficulties of equipment installation and maintenance, but also can build more value-added services. Feel free to contact the project manager to discuss business cooperation. Select the following desired function model, add a module to the product circuit board can be used. Z2-P1: intelligent socket, power switch Z2-P2: intelligent socket, power switch, power meter Z2-D1: Dimmer Z2-S1: Door/windows Sensor Z2-S2: temperature, humidity, luminance meter Z2-S3: remote control to select the scene Z2-C1: electric curtain motor control Z2-R1: IR control repeater

I received the following info from the seller (file size too big for this bord):

and from the Z-wave board Xenon-M1(1).pdf

I have not enough knowledge to judge if this is a working module with the Z-wave SoC (System on Chip) capabilities already on-board.
Derik, please share your experience.
Hope this helps

AFAIK you have to pay 3000 USD/year and that's just the membership fee. I've checked their website a long time ago, the SDK also cost a lot as well as the approval. So in general, that's what we pay at the retail storetrixwood wrote:Same chip...

They ask some nice questions though...
How about the cost of the sdk?
The downside of a closed something (at least from our perpective): sigma designs can have shitloads of money because of that. The good thing: you can control everything, you can approve everything, and all the devices will be compatible with each other. IMHO it's a brilliant business model.trixwood wrote:Ok, I am getting out of my depth here... I just stick to prefab z-wave
There is a big rise in home automation, check google trends. The amount of lo energy bluetooth and wifi devices is on a very high rise. The problems I have with them is that the whole man in the middle/you can't say stalker e.t. phone home & cloud thing... luckily most people do not care And hopefully those nice zwave devices will get cheaper (or not) I received the answer:Is Z-wave already loaded in the chip?
That sounds promising.Yes,z-wave has been loaded chip inside.
