Hello,
I want to include Z-Wave to my Domoticz installation.
What I want to know is which USB stick is the best, or even Razberry?
There are many options, so I would like to know what is the best solution.
Thanks in advance!
Z-Wave stick / Razberry

Re: Z-Wave stick / Razberry
I would suggest the latest version of the Aeon Z-Stick (Gen 5).
My reasons are these:
The device contains an internal battery. This allows you to take it to a pre-installed Z-wave unit (like a light-switch / relay) and carry out inclusions / exclusions in-situ (these operations require "direct" contact. The internal indicators show you what is happening. Thus is VERY valuable in debugging a new system.
The Aeon Zstick works well with a Rasberry PI (2 and especially 3). You should consider linking the USB interface to the device ID for convenience.
In my case, I upgraded from the previous version of the Aeon Zstick (placed in exactly the same location), and network reliability was instantly significantly better.
