Overview
This device was crowdfunded via a Kickstarter which ran in early 2013.
ZigBee and Z-Wave radios are included to allow the router
- to function as a home automation platform.
- "CN1F-B" is silkscreened on the FCC EUT's main board.
- "CN1F-T" is silkscreened on the port expansion board.
While the manuf. of this unit is not currently known, the manuf.
- of the non-plus Almond seems to have been Wintec.
