This appears to be billed as a stand alone thing but it uses a standard Raspberry Pi and Z-Wave / Zigbe USB sticks. What is potentially novel here is being able to get up and running just by using their SD card vs doing the work to install drivers and a UI typically needed to get the protocols working.
I've been running my own Linux based hub just fine without this but it does seem like a good entry level device for cheap.
