what z-wave stick

I would like to add some 868 Mhz devices to my Domoticz. Such as somfy situo sunshade controller and an italian led remote.

Can I just put a z-wave stick in my raspberry , and add it to Domoticz ? (I will find out how to do it myself ...I think)

Could you give some advice about a good Zwave-stick that supports lots of devices ?
Now a rflink is connected, I assume it can be kept.

Thnx

Yes you can.

Choose a zwave+ one (does not really matter which, they all should support the same protocol and depending if its included in openzwave, support the same devices, this unlike how rflink works).

You assume too much, at the merest glimpse of a new rival in his territory, the rflink will unleash through its minions, its mighty vengeance on you. Creating havoc all around the house. *har* *har*

Still unsure : can most 868 Mhz devices be controlled with z-wave or does a device have some kind of z-wave label ?

Zwave is called zwave (not 868 or whatever). You could not miss it.

Somfy is working on 868 Mhz but so do many other devices do, it's not zwave.
Like in the 2.4Mhz you have, mysensors, bluetooth, zigbee, wifi, all working in that little area.

To work somfy with zwave you can use: https://en.robbshop.nl/about-z-wave/z-w ... via-z-wave
Or if you have a Somfy Tahoma box buy the additional Z-wave controller for it.

So please make distinction between ZWave, RFLink/RFXCOM 868, and any other device that uses 868
