A Cerbo GX would be the easiest way, every thing would be plug and play.
(you need some communication cables for VE.Bus, VE.Can and VE.direct)

The cheapest would be a raspberry Pi, but you have to install Venus OS. To connect VE.Bus you need a MK3 interface. I'm not sure how to connect VE.Can. For VE.direct you need a VE.direct to USB interface.
