Take control of your smart home and your security by building your own Z-Wave gateway and hosting it locally. Works with A-Grade security. 5 second device setup. Long Standby. 2020 Upgrade - Work with Raspberry Pi 4 & works with any platform. Works with open source software.

Review: Works great on my Raspberry PI - I bought this to use through Home Assistant running in Kubernetes. To install this, I installed rasbian buster on a PI 3B+ and installed zwavejs2mqtt. This I setup as a ZWave server, and connected my Z-Wave device to this. Then I installed the Z-Wave JS integration in to Home Assistant and set that up. This way, home assistant is seperate from the Z-Wave network. I don't have dedicated hardware for home assistant, but I do for the z-wave network. Everything hooked up nicely and it's working great.
Review: Excellent - Speedy delivery. Easy to integrate into Home Assistant, and used to integrate my Yale Connexis door lock, and Ring alarm panel. Absolutely faultless

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job if you know what you're doing
*by S***Y on 20 January 2026*

Does the job but you need to be a bit of a techie to make it work – depending on what program you use it with. My experiences of the manufacturer's support were poor.
