Hardware
The Popp Hub is a small but powerful hardware offering various interfaces:
•
Power Input: The device can be powered with every standard mini USB power supply or USB cable connected to
a PC or any other USB power source. The current draw is about 1A@5V.
•
Ethernet: The device can be connected to any standard 10/100 MBit/s Ethernet router
•
4 * USB: The four USB ports allow to connect additional communication or storage options such as an EnOcean
Wireless Stick, a WIFI Stick or any other USB device suitable for a Smart Home Hub.
•
3.5 mm Audio Plug: This connector allows connecting an external speaker for voice output. This function requires
a voice-out module installed.

All software is installed on a SD card placed behind a seal.
Smart Home User Interface
Your smart home can be controlled from different user interface. The design of the interface will adapt to the various
screens of PC, pads or mobile phones. Please note that the native apps for the Hub will also show the very
same interface design regardless of the mobile platform.
This interface allows managing your smart home equipped with interconnected Z-Wave devices. It will show every
function of the device as one single Element (In case a physical device has multiple functions – like switching and
metering – it will generate multiple elements). All elements are listed in the Element View and can be filtered by
function type (switch, dimmer, sensor) or other filtering criteria. Important elements can be placed in the Dashboard.
Additionally the elements can be grouped into rooms. Every change of a sensor value or a switching status is called an
event and is shown in the Timeline. Filtering allows monitoring the changes of one single function or device.
