The Z-Stick Mini exposes the well-documented and proven Z-Wave Serial API
via USB. It allows the host processor to control Z-Wave, Z-Wave Plus and Z-wave
LR devices through the Z-Wave protocol. With the developer PC application
software, PC Controller, or any software compliant with Z-Wave Serial API, the host
is empowered to communicate with various Z-Wave devices through the Z-Wave
Command Classes, making your computer the heart of your Z-Wave network.
Z-Stick Mini easily enables you to create your own Z-Wave gateway that is
locally or remotely hosted with a PC or single- board computers, such as Beagle
Bone Black and Raspberry Pi.
