Aeotec Z-Wave USB Z-Stick Gen5
Aeotec Z-Wave USB Stick turns your PC into a smart home gateway. A gateway that's locally hosted, secure and cloud free.
Simply plug in your Z-Stick into an available USB Port on your preferred computer platform. It's designed to work with a PC, HTPC or laptop, with Mac OS, Linux and Windows supported. It will even work with Raspberry Pi and select NAS systems.
Note: You also need to install compatible Z-Wave software onto your Z-Stick.
Supported open source software such as Domoticz, Home Assistant, OpenHab & OpenHab2 can be installed for free. You can also install commercially available software which includes Axial Control, HomeSeer & Indigo Domotics.
It's been designed to bring Z-Wave to every computer platform. You can use it with a PC, HTPC or laptop, with Mac, Linux or Windows, with single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi, and even select NAS systems such as the Asus' Asustor.
Using a combination of such platforms and Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 immediately gives you 2 big advantages over a lot of standard gateways.
Local hosting
Remote backups are great. But when your smart home isn't hosted locally then neither is your home's security. Take control of your smart home and your security by building your own Z-Wave gateway and hosting it locally.
Cloud free
Hosting in the cloud seems great until servers go down or gateway makers go out of business. Your smart home suddenly isn't so smart; it's completely inoperable instead.
Most Z-Wave gateways depend on the cloud - build your own to avoid downtime and a broken smart home.
Pick your software
Once you've decided which platform to use Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 with, it's time to select the software you want to use to power your gateway and your smart home.
Works with open source software
