Cozify ZEN is a programmable IoT controller with open APIs, designed to combine wired and wireless automation protocols into one manageable system. It can be used as a central integration and control layer for smart building, technical facility and IoT projects.
Cozify ZEN is designed to be a hub / controller of smart device fleets that require centralized monitoring, control and integration across multiple technologies. It is suitable for both new deployments and retrofit projects where existing systems and device entities need to be connected to a modern, programmable control platform.
Yes. Cozify's IoT controllers are designed with AI-compatible interfaces and open integration possibilities in mind. This makes it possible to build customer-specific services and custom user interfaces on top of the platform where needed.
Cozify is a vendor free solution. Meaning, Cozify IoT controller integrations have been built for standardized automation protocols, not limited to any certain vendor or manufacturer.
Cozify ZEN is practically the same device as Cozify DIN. While Cozify ZEN can also be installed inside an electrical cabinet, it can additionally be mounted on a wall or placed on a table. Cozify ION is a wireless, lightweight Cozify IoT controller version that does not support wired protocols.
Yes. Cozify ZEN is built to combine both wired and wireless technologies in a single unit. Depending on configuration, it supports technologies such as Dual Nordic nRF52840, Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave, Bluetooth Low Energy, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, M-Bus, BACnet/IP, HTTPS/REST, RS-232 and RS-485, allowing one controller to serve as the integration point for multiple technologies.
Yes. Cozify ZEN can be used as an add-on control and integration layer on top of existing systems. This makes it suitable for retrofit projects where the goal is to add monitoring, automation and remote management without replacing the full legacy setup. The legacy system can still work as a fallback.
Cozify ZEN and other Cozify IoT controllers are designed to operate locally as well. An internet connection is not required for local functionality, but it is needed for the initial setup, over-the-air updates and remote control.
