Designed for seamless integration and enhanced performance, it offers features like network backup, firmware updates, and advanced power management to keep your smart home at the forefront of technology.
Z-Station - a modern Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread/Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) USB Adaptor. It will transform your computer into a full-featured smart home gateway.
A controller software compatible to the Silicon Labs Z-Wave Serial API (for example Z-Way) and Zigbee NCP is required to use the functions of the device.
