Getting Started with Unify

Note: For reference documentation please refer to UnifySDK documentation

WARNING: The following chapters may be oudated, they are still here until the new release of UnifySDK. In the future, Z-Wave parts will be more isolated and the rest deduplicated.

Introduction

Unify SDK is a software framework that simplifies the developer experience, removing difficult parts of network control and network management as it relates to gateway and hub development in IoT applications. It can also provide Matter bridge functionality to other protocols that do not natively run matter.

Prerequisites

• An RPi4 preinstalled with Raspberry Pi OS Linux Version 12, Bookworm 64-bit

• At least one of the following, supported wireless radios is connected to the RPi4 via USB:

  • Z-Wave module flashed with Z-Wave - NCP Serial API Controller.

The following are the ways to get started with Unify…

1. Use UnifySDK Portable Runtime for quick demo with Unify IoT gateway running on Windows, MacOS or Linux desktop.

2. Use Unify on Raspberry Pi for complete hands-on of Unify IoT gateway.
