From 667a05b90a7e4643db6b7fea0cbfa645cae91266 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: DubhAd Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2018 11:11:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Simplification of the supported controllers (#6647) * Simplification of the supported controllers Stripped it down to the key fact - *static controllers* are all that'll work with OZW. Noted that Z-Wave Plus controllers are recommended, to take advantage of all the features of Z-Wave Plus. Noted that S2 and Smart Start aren't supported by OZW * Controllers restored Restored the list of confirmed sticks, but taken out the lists of OSs because we just took the list from the OZW pages, and it's clear that's outdated and incomplete --- source/_docs/z-wave/controllers.markdown | 25 ++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/source/_docs/z-wave/controllers.markdown b/source/_docs/z-wave/controllers.markdown index 63b6a36fa23..8548c92f9c1 100644 --- a/source/_docs/z-wave/controllers.markdown +++ b/source/_docs/z-wave/controllers.markdown @@ -11,22 +11,17 @@ footer: true ## {% linkable_title Supported Z-Wave USB Sticks & Hardware Modules %} -You need to have a [supported Z-Wave USB stick or module](https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/wiki/Controller-Compatibility-List) installed. +You need to have a compatible Z-Wave stick or module installed. This needs to be a *static controller*, which most Z-Wave sticks and modules will be. If yours is a *bridge* device then it won't work with [OpenZWave](http://openzwave.com/), which is what provides Home Assistant's Z-Wave capabilities.

As OpenZWave doesn't support S2 or Smart Start, there's no need to buy one just for support of these features.

If you're using Hass.io or running HASS in a Docker container, it's recommended to use a USB stick, not a module. Passing a module through Docker is more complicated than passing a USB stick through.
