Tip
- It is possible to add or change with an Rfxcom antenna, or an enOcean key, etc.
- In principle, you need a USB key per additional protocol. Depending on their number and their cumulative consumption, on a Raspberry Pi you may need an additional USB hub with its dedicated power supply.
- For the Z-Wave Aeotec Gen 5 key in cumulative use with a Raspberry Pi 4 (previous models not affected), you must use a recent one if you want to do away with a USB hub. Get information and get supplies from a home automation equipment seller.
- On RPi 4, it is strongly recommended to replace the microSD card with an mSATA USB3 hard disk, directly connected to the USB3 port with native boot. MicroSD cards have a very limited lifespan due to intensive data exchange: only to be reserved for short periods of testing.
Tip
Jeedom is software that is and will remain open source, its use is completely free and does not depend on a cloud or a subscription. However, some plugins that increase the capacity of Jeedom or its use may be chargeable and may need an internet connection. You can find the list of plugins here.
