At first look, Vosen V1 appears to be like any other 4K HDR Android TV box powered by Amlogic S905X2 quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, but it offers a bit more thanks to a built-in IR blaster allowing you to control other appliances in the room such as air conditioner, television, or A/V receiver.
The box can be further enhanced by plugging-in a Z-Wave USB adapter to control & monitor even more compatible devices around the house such as light bulbs or water-leak sensors.

The box runs Android 9.0 operating system, and ships with a power adapter, an IR Remote Control, an HDMI cable, and a user manual.
If you want to leverage the smart home capabilities of the TV box, you’ll need to install SURE app in your Android phone, and register the TV box/gateway to control devices using IR codes from a database of devices. If you need to control Z-Wave devices, you’ll need to separately purchase a compatible USB dongle for about $30 to $45.
Vosen V1 is currently sold on GeekBuying for $53.99 including shipping with coupon VOSENV1, but you’ll also find it on Banggood and GearBest for similar prices.

It’s just a Mecool KM9 from the look of it.
So in order to have Z-Wave support I need to buy a Z-Wave dongle? Shouldn’t it be built-in?
