Aeotec Z-Stick, Gen5 (Open Box)

Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 is a self-powered Z-Wave USB adapter with remote network creation capabilities (independent from external power and host microprocessor). 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 Gen5 is also device firmware upgradeable by the end consumer. This enables the product 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.
