"We developed the Combo Platter almost a year ago for environmental controls in Spas and Greenhouses" reports Brian Empey, CEO of Techsol.
"But through word-of-mouth we find that many people want a simple, flexible, wireless control box such as this, but with genuine ZigBee mesh-networking. So we decided to make it available to everyone."

"We're excited to see companies such as zPoint Products working to make ZigBee technology more accessible to the masses, including people who aren't electrical engineers." said Bob Heile, Chairman of the ZigBee Alliance.

The ZigBee Wireless Control Experimenter's Kit comes as a set of 4 wireless devices plus software for Windows or Linux computers. It includes:

Two ZigBee "Combo Platter" boards, featuring a wide variety of I/O, with 4 each of Analog Inputs, Relay Outputs, and Digital I/O, plus light and temperature sensors
One ZigBee USB Dongle plugs into a PC
One ZigBee Coordinator plugs into an AC outlet
USB and Serial cables are included, plus 2 AC adapters for the I/O boards
a CD is also included, which contains JAVA and Windows programs, along with their source-code

This kit (utilizing the same ZigBee Dongle that was demonstrated at Light Fair 2006 in May and hailed by the ZigBee Alliance as the world's first Zigbee product) is normally priced at $695. However, for the first 500 customers who order a kit in July, this kit is available for only $495, a saving of $200usd.
