Aeotec Zi-Stick, USB coordinator

Manage your smart home locally, privately and without the cloud. Aeotec Zi-Stick (Zigbee) allows you to build your own smart home automation gateway using Zigbee 3.0 technology.

Zi-Stick is platform-independent. Host platforms such as Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, BeagleBone, PCs or laptops can be turned into universal Zigbee gateways by connecting Zi-Stick to a USB interface.

Zi-Stick is used in combination with home automation software. Software solutions such as Home Assistant, openHab or Zigbee2MQTT are just some of the common solutions that work with Zi-Stick.

Manage and intelligently control your sensors, lights or switches. You can connect a wide variety of Zigbee products from different vendors to the Zi-Stick.

Automate and control your Zigbee smart home. With home automation software, you can create scenes and rules that will increase your comfort and security at home. In combination with certain Zigbee devices, you can accurately analyse and optimise your energy consumption in the software's user interface. In addition, you can intelligently organise your heating system and increase your comfort and energy efficiency.
