roZetta™ grew out of an earlier DIY project (BX24-AHT) adding the ability to interface with legacy X-10 controller TW523 ports and adding support for UPB and Insteon plus an ethernet interface. It, too, was intended as a DIY project with all of the components originally available at Mouser Electronics but changes in their inventory and minimum order quantities have forced me to use several different sources, increasing the shipping cost and complexity beyond what is practical for DIY. Consequently, it will be sold assembled (but without any RF capability until such time as we have completed required FCC tests).

In mid-2008 Tibbo discontinued their EM202 NetModule without warning. As of September 2008 its replacement (EM203A+RJ203A) has not been released. In any event, Tibbo has prohibited their distributors from selling the EM203A+RJ203A in the USA. This has forced me to find other ethernet modules to use with roZetta™. SimpleLAN from Avcom Tec can be connected to S0, S4 or, with a simple modification to the roZetta™ board, S1. It can be mounted inside the roZetta™ enclosure, again with some DIY modifications. NET232-DTE is an external ethernet to serial module that can connect to S0. Both SimpleLAN and NET232-DTE can send email although the latter has limited email capabilities. There is a more detailed discussion of ethernet modules here.

A fully assembled version of roZetta™ (with the SimpleLAN network interface) is shown below. The enclosure openings below were home made using manual methods - more accurately machined and printed enclosures (without the SimpleLAN opening) will be available after we begin shipments.

There are both Windows and Linux interface applications for configuring and controlling roZetta™. A Mac OS/X interface is planned once PureBasic releases a stable version of their compiler for the Intel Mac and I get a Mac Mini for development and testing.
