3、Advantage VS Raspberry Pi
Wireless Connectivity: The Raspberry Pi does not have any built-in wireless module. It needs to plug in a wireless dongle to support various wireless protocols. Users need to buy accessories, which causes trouble for users. In contrast to Raspberry Pi, DSGW-210 has built-in both Zigbee 3.0 module and Z-Wave Module. In addition to these, it also supports custom protocols integration such as BLE 5.0, LTE CAT1, and Wi-Fi 2.4/5G.
Direct To Market(DTM): Compared with more development boards, DSGW-210 has been mass-produced. It has a beautiful shell, mature hardware design, and has been verified by the market.
Battery Backup: A notable feature of the DSGA-210 is that it comes with a built-in battery power option so that in the event of a power failure the system will continue to run, unlike Raspberry Pi.
Storage: Raspberry Pi is just using USB or SD Cards. They will work just fine, but it is no comparison to HDD or eMMC speeds. Also, no more SD card failures.
Modular design: Each wireless module adopts a modular design, and users can choose the best configuration to meet their needs, making the cost performance higher.
Compliance: DSGW-210 has got the IC, FAC, WPC, KC, NTC, RCM, SRRC certifications, Users do not need to spend the cost and time for certifications.

6、How to install OpenHAB
The Open Home Automation Bus as the center of your smart home is a free and open-source software designed for home automation. OpenHAB has been proposed in 2010 by Kai Kreuzer. It is developed based on the Eclipse SmartHome framework using Java. The user can extend the OpenHAB by installing the new Add-ons. The reason is that the OpenHAB is modular software. The following instruction describes how to install and set up OpenHAB in DSGW-210. (Refer to OpenHAB Home Automation Gateway for details)
Step 1. Adding the openHAB repository key to your package manager:
wget -qO - 'https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public' | sudo apt-key add -
