Quick start


The following will step you through using ZB-Stick when it is attached to a host controller (PC) as a primary controller.


  1. Please make sure the drivers corresponding to your respective OS are installed. In most cases, the host controller automatically installs the require USB drivers when ZB-Stick is plugged in.

    If not, the USB driver can be downloaded from www.silabs.com part CP2102N which can be found here: SiLabs CP2102N Driver


  2. Plug ZB-Stick  into a host controller (that can be a PC, Mac, RPi, etc).
    • Windows - Open up "Ports & LPT" under Device Manager. The  ZB-Stick  shows as a COMX device (where X can be a number value range of 0 - 1000).
    • Linux - under your command prompt, type in "dmesg | grep tty" which will give you a list of all tty devices connected. Z-Stick 7 will show as a "ttyUSB0" device.

    • OSX - Choose Apple > System preferences, then click "Network". You can find ZB-Stick as a USB Modem device "/dev/cu.usbmodem".

  3. Open your selected third-party software.
  4. Following your third party software instructions for connecting a Z-Wave USB adapter. Select the COM or virtual port ZB-Stick is associated to (if you do not have one already, refer to section "Compatible software and setup guides").


Any devices that are already paired with ZB-Stick network will automatically show up in the software's interface once connected, it may require you to rescan the ZB-Stick in order to re-detect devices it has not detected before.
