AEOTEC - USB Controller Z-Stick Gen5+

Next generation smart home doesn’t have to be expensive – with a few key devices you can connect and automate electronics. Step by step. Room by room. At your own pace, in your own time, and within your own budget.

Usually the most expensive part of any smart home is its gateway – that's the software-powered hub that binds all your connected devices together in order to control and automate them. With Aeotec’s Z-Stick Gen5+ your gateway no longer needs to be expensive. Nor does it need to be a security or privacy risk. Z-Stick Gen5+ lets you build your own, locally hosted gateway. A gateway that is cloud free and that offers the features and security that are just right for you and your individual vision.

Z-Stick Gen5+ has long been the Z-Wave community's USB tool for building a gateway hub. It's a best-seller because of its compatibility, its quality, and its functionalities. This new plus-model brings a whole new array of compatibility and functionality to a USB stick already powering over 100,000 smart homes.

Raspberry Pi 4 compatible

New Pi from Raspberry, new Z-Stick from Aeotec. As it was built upon an older Z-Wave stack, the non-plus model of Z-Stick Gen5 isn't compatible with Raspberry 4. But Z-Stick Gen5+ is. That opens up your home automation software to Raspberry's new architecture, including 8GB of RAM and an ARM v8 1.5GHz CPU.

S2 security

New systems, new challenges. The increase in popularity of automation systems means that they now face greater security challenges as more people try to exploit weaknesses in archaic technology. Z-Stick Gen5+ future-proofs against such weaknesses by offering Z-Wave S2 security natively, UL 1023 compliance, and ECDH key exchange natively.

SmartStart

Simpler device setup has finally come to Z-Wave with SmartStart. This new QR code based method allows you to pair a Z-Wave device with your automation system simply by scanning its QR code. Even when not fully installed, you'll be able to connect devices through Z-Stick Gen5+ to your Z-Wave software, provided that software offers QR-based pairing.
