I’ve been using one of these for over a month now, and it cost me less than a spare zstick. The zwave chip is the same as a zstick, but the firmware versions are slightly different. However, they have the same libraries, as reported by Zensys Tools. The Aeon backup software can be used with it, and I have done backups and restores across the two. After some recent fixes Chris has done, the zigbee binding is now working very well, except for a possible bug in reporting states accurately (he probably already has it fixed). I have 25 zigbee and ~85 zwave devices, and this stick seems to be able to handle the load just fine. There have been some other’s posting about them on this and other forums too, so hopefully there’ll be more reviews. But so far, it has been a solid piece. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.openhab.org/t/linear-husbzb-1/33200)._
