Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What is the difference between the CORE models?

A: The CORE models differ in CPU configuration and the number of
rooms and devices they can support. Single-core (CORE 1) for basic
setups, Dual-core (CORE 3) for small to medium setups, and
Quad-core (CORE 5) for larger installations.

Q: How do I choose between the CORE models?

A: Choose based on the size of your setup and the number of
devices you need to control. For larger setups with more rooms and
devices, opt for the Quad-core model (CORE 5).
