Reliable and Interoperable
Communication for IoT Devices

To address different aspects of smart home automation, such as high data rates, low power consumption, reliability, and ease of integration, Mixtile Edge 2 Kit supports multiple network connections. In addition to onboard Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), dual-mode Bluetooth 5.0, M.2 interfaces for Cellular module expansion, mini-PCIe interfaces for LoRa, Zigbee and Z-Wave modules, Mixtile Edge 2 Kit expands your selection for your smart home setup.
 
Cellular module support allows you to control your smart home devices from a smartphone, tablet, or computer and allows remote access, even when you’re away from home, via the Internet.
 
We also developed Mixtile 2-in-1 Zigbee & Z-Wave mPCIe Interface Module, which easily connects to the Mixtile Edge 2 Kit via the mini-PCIe interface. With a future Mixtile firmware update, the module will also support Matter specifications.

Higher Performance and Lower Power Consumption

Compared with the most common Home Assistant hardware, Mixtile Edge 2 Kit has a more powerful processor powered by Quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 up to 2.0GHz and supports LPDDR4 up to 8GB.
The integrated high-performance 1 TOPS NPU is ideal for deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Caffe, Tflite, Pytorch, Onnx NN, Android NN, etc.

Building Clutter-Free Home

Thanks to its rich built-in interfaces, Mixtile Edge 2 Kit can be assembled as monolithic hardware, while most others bring wires and chaos. Mxitile Edge 2 Kit supports PD 3.0. Replace your old barrel jack power adapters with tiny PD adapters and keep your home cleaner and more modern. The type-C connector can be plugged either way around, minimizing your home’s frustration.
