DIY ZMatter dongle enclosure

[Guy Lavoie]

Here's a little project if you're like me, without a way to buy the ZMatter enclosure by itself (The Canadian distributor for UDI products doesn't offer it for sale).

I started by finding the needed mPCIe to USB adapter, and found this one on amazon. I first tested it with the bare ZMatter board I took out of my Polisy. Then it was just a question of getting an enclosure for it. I also used a USB extension cable, such that the enclosure is now a standalone unit, making for easier placement, and connection to a Polisy (I can't see how the UDI enclosure could be plugged directly into a Polisy, given the proximity of it's power connector to the USB slots).

So there you have it, the Canadian ZMatter enclosure...
