GetWired has been designed by Domatic to provide users with a reliable open and easy-to-use home automation platform, built around the well-known and widely-trusted RS485 communication standard.
The GetWired system relies on the open-source MySensors communication protocol and is compatible with Arduino IDE. Offering plug and play interaction with a large variety of open-source home automation controllers, such as Domoticz, Home Assistant and more.
“Fast, safe, and battery-free. Given the growing popularity of wireless communication standards, one could be forgiven for thinking that wired systems might just be a thing of the past. But the truth is, wired home automation come with a host of advantages:”
– Communication stability is far superior
– The throughput of communication is higher and the latency is lower
– Interfaces are immune to many of the vulnerabilities that plague wireless systems
– Preventing access to automation modules through Wi-Fi improves security and privacy
– Nobody enjoys replacing batteries
– When planning a smart home, these are some of the most important factors to consider for long-term reliability.
