The Ultimate Smarthouse HAT?

Hi,

After some “frustration” adding USB devices to cover my Z-Wave and Zigbee devices (and looking at competing alternatives which includes all nessesary protocols, but lacks the power and open source), i discovered that resonable HATs that includes these features really are missing… Why? There are more than enough UART ports available with RPi 4 to add several protocols to one HAT. So starting with an empty HAT template in Kicad i have an outcast for a HAT containing connectivity for Z-Wave, Zigbee, BT, Thread, RF 433MHz RX+TX, KNX.

My question to the community would be, what protocols would you like to see covered with one HAT? Please state your answer in the poll below, if you feel like any alternatives are missing please tell me and i will add them.

  • Zigbee / BT
  • Z-Wave
  • RF 433MHz Receiver
  • RF 433MHz Transmitter
  • RF 433MHz RX+TX
  • RF 868MHz Receiver
  • RF 868MHz Transmitter
  • RF 868MHz RX+TX
  • Modbus
  • KNX
  • LoRaWAN

Would there be any interest in such HAT for RPi 4 / CM4?

Are there really this little interest of an RPi hat covering several wireless protocols? :slight_smile:
