data between its interfaces, for example USB to SPI. Due to the integrated WLAN module,
it can be accessed and controlled via internet without the need of an external computer. It
has a low power consumption, an average of 0.5 W.

2.3.2. Comparison
There are still much more devices on the market than the ones presented, but these give a
good overview of available possibilities. Whatever system you choose, depends on the individual
requirements and the type of HA system available. It is not possible to generalize. Basic protocol
translation can be performed by almost every gateway. Selection is consequently much less critical
than the selection of a HA system. For most users, the available software is most important,
whereas it is essential for developers to be able to change and use the gateways without the
supplied software. Table 2.2 summarizes the presented systems.
