Aeotec Z-Pi 7: German-engineered Z-Wave development kit
German-engineered to help you get to market quickly and with quality, the Aeotec Z-Pi 7 development kit allows you to adapt existing hardware to work with Z-Wave. The Z-Pi 7 turns any Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi into a Z-Wave 700 series Smart Home Gateway.
The Z-Pi 7 connects to the GPIOs of the host device, such as a Raspberry Pi, serving as your primary Z-Wave controller. It can then be used with any automation software that supports the Z-Wave Serial Bridge API.
Built for proven technology
The Z-Pi 7 is equipped with a GPIO connector for the Raspberry Pi interface. Whether you're using Raspberry Pi 1, 2, 3, or 4, the Z-Pi 7 is compatible with any of these platforms. With Z-Pi 7, you can build a Smart Home gateway based on Aeotec's long-standing experience in making reliable and affordable Z-Wave hardware for everyone.
Typically, the gateway is the most expensive part of a Smart Home, but with the Z-Pi 7, you can build your Smart Home base on a DIY platform like the Raspberry Pi and use open-source software, such as Home Assistant, to empower your Z-Wave network.
Comparing Z-Pi 7
Whether in USB or daughter-board format, Aeotec has shipped hundreds of thousands of development and antenna units that partners and customers depend on to build their own gateway solutions. Although both Z-Pi 7 and Z-Stick Gen5+ empower similar outcomes, there are notable differences between the two.
