Aeotec Z-Pi 7 - GPIO Z-Wave Gateway

The Aeotec Z-Pi 7 is a 700-seriesZ-Wave gateway GPIO module designed for the Raspberry Pi. It allows you to monitor and control Z-Wave sensors, smart switches and other Z-Wave deviceswithin your chosen home automation system such as Home Assistant (along with the Z-Wave integration).

The module is powered by Series 700 and Gen7 technology utilizing SmartStart native integration and S2 security. It can be used with any home automation software that supports the Z-Wave Serial Bridge API.

Important! The Z-Pi7 uses the same port as Bluetooth on the Raspberry Pi. To use Z-Pi 7 you must deactivate Bluetooth.
