Gira X1 is a kind “Homeserver Light”, but with a more modern and intuitive UI for accelerated configuration. It looks like Gira focusses at the moment more on X1 in order to keep up with competition in that price range. Additionally, Gira also provides a SDK for easier development of additional functionalities (Logic Blocks – LBS). One major difference to the HS is, that the X1 contains a KNX-TP interface.
However, sniffing a bit into the firmware update for the X1, some initial info (to be confirmed):
– Seems to be based on an i.mx6 ARM board (and/or compatible?)
– Seems to be running under Linux (however, there is some mention of dual-boot in the files I looked into)
– Different Update mechanism compared to HS (Update via GPA Software on PC)
– ….
It might be interesting to better understand, whether the X1 could also be virtuaized or even installed on compatible hardware…
Therefore, did anyone also do some “checking”, and if so, what are your findings and conclusions?
