Zi-Stick USB controller (Zigbee) - AEOTEC

Because your data belongs to you, your data should not be processed in the cloud. Zi-Stick does not require cloud service as a locally operated device. It can be connected to any host PC such as a one-board PC, Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Laptop, Desktop PC, or even a Macbook.  The Zi-Stick will transform your chosen platform into your Zigbee network. 

With Zi-Stick, connect any Zigbee device to your own Smart Home. The host PC will save all automation, settings, and scenes locally to your own setup.

Zi-Stick can be utilized in premier community driven Smart Home projects.

Zi-Stick utilizes a USB-UART bridge which makes Zi-Stick easy to use. You can use Zi-Stick with various automation programs like openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT, FHEM, Node-RED, io Broker, Jeedom, or Home Assistant.

Simply connect the Zi-Stick, connect your software, and then begin your Smart Home journey via your self-built Zigbee gateway.
