Do LogicMachine have an app store and if so what apps are available? I don't see any apps in the demo except the Z-wave app. For starter I am looking for an app to control AV equipment e.g Denon receiver (over tcp and rs-232).

Hi,
The apps are not realy missing, we just have not published them.
We might get one if those apps in the future after validating and testing, however we don’t always get the same apps.
Next apps that are comming are the BACnet client and Presence simulation. Alexa app is under GDPR review and that can take a while.
I don’t think we will get the Z-Wave app as we will focus on Zigbee (Wiser).

Hi,
The reason for that is our upcomming new wireless solution for residential - Wiser
This BLE/Zigbee based system for light, blind, heat, energy and door can also be controlled by Alexa and Homekit. The GDPR team has priorotized Wiser so the W4K app is in the queue at this moment.
Good things are comming (:

Is there anyway to get the z-wave app installed manually at own risk?
I just bought a keyless solution for my front door that has the possibility to use z-wave to remote lock/unlock... But to do so I need it to talk to my SpaceLynk...

Sorry we can't share it, SE do not want to support this protocol.

Hi Daniel,
Just so I understand this:
As far as I know, it is possible to install apps manually in the spacelynk, however since SE do not want me to have this app, you can't share it with me...? is that correct?

Hi,
Well we always take the customer as central point in our decisions and we try to be as much as posible customer friendly but most of the time there are more things to weight.
There are several reasons to make this choiche.. Here are (just) a few if them
1) Schneider Electric does not produce Z-Wave products.
2) Z-Wave is not the best protocol to use in terms of quality, reliability and security (not self healing and not encrypted)
3) The Z-Wave app would require support from Schneider without knowledge of the used end devices that are not produced by us.
4) We currently focus on Zigbee / IPv6 IEEE 802.15.4 based communication as we think that will be the standard and this wireless technology has self healing mesh networking and is encrypted / secured.
5) Our new wireless residential solution Wiser is 100% Zigbee (and BLE) based. It makes much more sense to add a app that supports those products. Thus is also a reason that homeLYnk is renamed to Wiser for KNX.
6) We only use apps when they are tested and validated by our testing lab. It would require a investment to do all this work. Given the known issues and the fact that the Z-Wave app is being changed to new version makes it not a good candidate to adopt.
Hopes this clarifies it a bit..
