Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range S2 USB Stick ZST39 LR, Great for DIY Smart Home (Use with Home Assistant or HomeSeer Software)

Z-Wave USB stick that works seamlessly with Home Assistant
I purchased this USB stick to add Z-Wave capabilities to my Home Assistant (HA) server and I have been super happy with it. I am running HA on an older laptop as the operating system (haos). Home Assistant recognized it right way, pretty slick indeed. I don’t currently need the LR capability but I do have some ideas for it in the future. For now, it is easy to see all of the devices that HA is controlling in one place. I suspect it is as trouble-free for other purposes, I suspect it will last a long time.

Flawless performance.
I have replaced my Hubitat with a small form factor PC running Home Assistant. This USB stick has performed flawlessly. Very satisfied.

Works perfectly!
Worked perfectly for me with homeassistant and zwavejs. And also managed to setup a remote zwavejs in another building with a second unit connected by ethernet. Everything just works…. Awesome.

Great Z-Wave dongle. Great range. Easy to integrate with Home Assistant via Zwave-JS-UI
This dongle is working great with Home Assistant via Zwave-JS-UI, both running in a Docker container. I have been very impressed with the stability of Z-Wave vs Zigbee (primarily due to its use of 800 MHz vs 2.4 GHz signaling), and am contemplating moving more of my home automation and monitoring items to Z-Wave because of the stability and range which I need for the various things I want to track in our home and outbuildings.

Works as intended with Home Assistant.The range and reliability is a lot better than my old aeotec gen 5.Had some trouble migrating from my existing z-wave controller but it was more down to my skill level and the lack of support from the old controller. The zooz worked without a hitch throughout the whole process. I imagine the process would’ve been flawless if I had remade the z-wave network from scratch or started a new one.I use home assistant HAOS and zwave js ui add on.

I bought this to upgrade and replace an Aeotec Gen500+ USB stick in a HA Yellow. Migrating a 66 node network in HA JSUI directly, or via nvmedit convert.Immediately updated to v1.4 before restoring a backup.World of difference! The network came back up as it should, and lightning fast. My mesh has now recalculated and has less hops/more direct node connections than before. I’m now running 100% on the Zooz USB stick.I had a disaster with unpingable/dead devices with the GPIO and total success with the USB stick, changing nothing else. I don’t have a small z-wave network, but be warned on the performance. I’ll be buying another ZST39 as backup and getting rid of the Aeotecs now.The GPIO ‘may’ be better if you only plan on using it with LR devices, yet untested by me.Use simplicity studio ideally or update with no nodes added, or you risk bricking the device – happened to me with the GPIO module.Check this before you do anything else, start with at least v1.4 before adding nodes as there are many issues in previous versions which this stick likely ships with.Looks like v1.5 of firmware will be released soon, and Silicon Labs claim all transmit lockups are fixed in that versions release notes. I see them rarely now on v1.4 and it’s not bad like it was, so doesn’t damage damage the mesh/automations reliability
