GetMagic is a home gateway, which allows users to add/include Z-Wave devices and bridge that information to other IP based devices. It runs a local state machine which is triggered either by Z-Wave devices or time or status messages created by the user. The state machine can apply actions in the Z-Wave devices. GetMagic can be controlled via 100Mbit Ethernet or WiFi to the house network and connected via the local router to the cloud service. The cloud service allows the user to control the GetMagic gateway from outside the house and give access to the local Z-Wave devices. The cloud service is essential, but the user can run the local control after it is setup even without internet access.
