Do I need a Home Center 2?

The Home Center Lite is a very capable Z-Wave controller, but if you want any of the following features then you'll want to look at the Home Center 2 instead:

• Magic Scenes
• Lua Coding
• Virtual Devices (Lua)
• Voice Commands (via Lili - Alexa is supported on Home Center Lite)
• VoIP

The Home Center 2 has a more powerful CPU and more RAM, so we recommend it for people planning a Z-Wave 'whole house' control system. If you're just planning to automate key devices, or a small house, then Home Center Lite will be just fine.
