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.Z-Station adapter supports Z-Wave and Zigbee / Thread / Bluetooth Low Energy (on your choice, selected by firmware update).The device implements two virtual serial interfaces used by the Z-Wave and Zigbee / Thread / BLE application respectively. Linux and Mac OSX has a built in device driver for the stick and will create a new device named like /dev/ttyUSB* (Linux) or /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART (OSX). Windows enumerates a new COM port device but might require a device driver by Silicon Labs.This device supports Z-Wave Security S2, Smart Start and Long Range technologies as well as Zigbee HA 3.0 protocol.Compared to the standard firmware design used by almost all Z-Wave USB Sticks and other Z-Wave Host Interface hardware, the this device firmware offers several extensions and enhancements: Embedded Z-Wave and Zigbee sniffer tool Backup and recovery function including network topology Optimised transmitting queue handling to speed up transmitting process Firmware update from the OS level in the field Extended Wakeup Notification to extend battery life time of battery-operated devices in the network Advanced statistics about network actual usage Allows switching frequencies from software Z-Station can be used together with any other third party software that uses Z-Wave Serial API and Zigbee NCP Serial API. There are firmwares for static controller or bridge (for Z/IP).
