Z-Wave Controller, Overview (unofficial and incomplete)

Hardware Home Automation
1

Hello folks,

I just wonder that the entry into the Z-Wave binding must be made under difficult conditions.
I expected Chris Jackson’s magnificent Z-Wave database to contain all the supported controllers or at least the most common ones.

When I installed the Z-Wave binding about one year ago, I asked myself the following question: Which controller is supported?

In the official OH2 documentation I only found the following hint:
"There are many (controller) sticks available, and they all support the same interface."

But which models are out there actually?

Neither here (supported things) nor there (z-wave db) are most of the controllers listed.

I found a brief overview in the OH1 documentation, but I did not know if it was up to date.

Then I started looking here (in forum) and I finally selected a ZME_UZB1 (Europe).

In order to spare Z-Wave beginners or OH beginners a long search, I have created an overview based on my research.

The overview was created to the best of my knowledge and belief. If something was forgotten or wrong, please let me know. Many thanks! :slight_smile:

If someone wants to buy a new stick, but is unsure which to take, please ask again in the forum, if the chosen stick is recommended.

Aeon Labs uses a slightly stripped down, and likely updated, version of Zensys Tools as their firmware installer.

The database doesn’t really contain any controllers. All ZWave controllers are the same as far as the binding is concerned. Sigma made a standard firmware, and a standard API, and all controllers use this.

Has anyone had a chance to try out the Aeotec Z-Stick 7 (ZWA010) yet?

7

I doubt that will work, from what I understand it works quite differently from the gen5.

I was gonna ask though if anyone here has tried the gen5+? From what I can understand it’s more or less the same stick as the “old” gen5 so I guess it should work, but I’m not 100%.

8

It is not supported and yes, somebody tried. The 700 series Z-Wave Plus 2 devices are backward compatible and there are a few in the community maintained database.
