Z-Wave USB Stick
Availability: 17st
The UZB stick from Z-Wave.Me is the counterpart to the Aeotec Stick Gen5+ and can be connected to a PC, Notebook, Barebone, Raspberry Pi or similar platform and create a Z-Wave network via its integrated antenna. This way, the PC will become a Z-Wave smart home control center. A third-party controller software, compatible to the Sigma Designs Serial API, is required to use the functions of the device. The third-party software plus this UZB realize a static controller to manage and use Z-Wave devices of various vendors. This stick works with all certified Z-Wave devices regardless of its vendor or date of origin. The Sigma Designs Serial API specification is available to all owners of a Sigma Designs Z-Wave SDK.
