Aeotec Z-Stick 7 (Z-Wave)

The Aeotec Z-Stick 7 is a USB Z-Wave gateway using Gen7 and 700 series Z-Wave technologies, compatible with Raspberry Pi, Windows, Linux and iOS.

It allows you to monitor and control Z-Wave sensors, smart switches and other Z-Wave devices within your chosen home automation system such as Home Assistant (along with the Z-Wave integration).

Brimming with new features and technology, yet wholly more compact, Z-Stick 7 is 79 % smaller than Z-Stick Gen5+, and yet it is still just as easy to set up.

S2 Encrypted

Z-Stick 7 is S2 encrypted – wireless communication between its Z-Wave antenna and Z-Wave products installed in your home is secured with S2 security’s triple-layered security.

Local hosting

If it isn’t locally hosted, your automation system’s security and privacy could be at risk. Take control of both by using open-source hardware, such as Raspberry Pi and Z-Stick 7 to host and control your automation setup locally

SmartStart enabled

Install new devices in seconds. Z-Stick 7 offers SmartStart natively, allowing for new Z-Wave devices to be connected to your system simply by scanning their QR code through a SmartStart-enabled app.
