Run your smart home locally, privately, and cloud-free
The Aeotec Zi-Stick (Zigbee) lets you build your own Smart Home automation gateway using Zigbee 3.0 technology. The Zi-Stick is independent from platforms. Host platforms like Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, BeagleBone, PCs, or laptops can be transformed into universal Zigbee gateways by connecting the Zi-Stick to the USB interface.
The Zi-Stick is used in combination with Home Automation software. Software solutions like Home Assistant, openHAB, or Zigbee2MQTT are some common solutions that work with the Zi-Stick.
