Aeotec Z-Wave Plus Z-Stick 7
Aeotec Z-Stick 7 is a Z-Wave Plus v2 USB gateway controller capable of adding remote Z-Wave network creation capabilities to a host microprocessor or computer. The device is meant primarily to allow a host processor to control up to 232 Z-Wave devices using the Z-Wave technology protocol.
By being able to remotely include/remove Z-Wave devices, this greatly simplifies Z-Wave network installation. When connected to a host controller (via USB), it enables the host controller to take part in the Z-Wave Network.
The Z-Stick 7 receives cloud updates when plugged into an Internet connected host. This allows the Z-Stick to always have the latest Z-Wave protocol, capabilities and commands.
By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network, commands can be routed to their destination via intermediary "listening" Z-Wave products. Products that are Z-Wave certified can be used and communicate with other Z-Wave certified devices.
