Has anyone tried using Raspberry Pi + Z-Wave (smart home)?

Question

Arduino

Interested in the experience of using such or such devices in order to make a smart home controller from Raspberry Pi using the Z-wave protocol. If anyone has tried, how are you doing? Does it work stably? How many devices does it hold? Maybe there is something better?

Answer 1

If anyone is interested in the ending of the story, I bought it, everything works, I recommend it.

Answer 2

sebres : You have strange arguments;)
1) RaZberry's antenna looks the same as the stick you specified. And the RaZberry box is usually the same plastic as the USB stick
2) the entire dock is on the site. It is also written in the docks that it works via UART (that is, of all GPIOs, it uses only UART and power)
3) what did you not like about the API? quite usable. And for fans of C, there are .h files included with the software.
By the way, Fhem is written in pearl and certainly cannot be faster than a compiled application.

Answer 3

I recommend reading RaZberry - a smart home based on Z-Wave and Raspberry Pi . The JavaScript API is briefly described there.

Answer 4

Yes, everything works great!
