## Supported Z-Wave USB Sticks & Hardware Modules
## Supported Z-Wave adapters
You need to have a compatible Z-Wave stick or module installed. The following devices have been confirmed to work with Z-Wave JS:

If you are just starting out, we recommend that you purchase a 700 series controller or a Raspberry Pi module. The 700 series controllers are the more recent version (when compared to the 500 series). The 700 series controllers support SmartStart, which allows you to add a device by scanning a QR code.
If you are just starting out, we recommend that you purchase an 800 series adapter (with firmware updated to ≥ 7.23.2). The 800 series adapters are the most future-proof and offer the best RF performance.
{% tip %}
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.
{% endtip %}
## Stick alternatives
## Third-party hubs
The alternative to a stick is a hub that supports Z-Wave. Home Assistant supports the following hubs with Z-Wave support:
For the best experience, it is recommended to use an adapter directly with Home Assistant. If this doesn't work for you, you can use a hub that supports Z-Wave. Home Assistant supports the following third-party hubs with Z-Wave support:
- [Vera](/integrations/vera/)
- [Fibaro](/integrations/fibaro/)
- [SmartThings](/integrations/smartthings/)
- [Z-Wave.Me Z-Way](/integrations/zwave_me)
## Controller notes
### 800 Series Controllers
Z-Wave JS does not support Z-Wave Long Range yet.
## Adapter notes
### Aeotec Z-Stick
{% note %}
The Aeotec Z-Stick and some of its variants (e.g. Z-Wave.Me UZB1) are known to have compatibility issues with the Linux kernel because of their [non-compliant behavior](https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=245031#p1502030). Plugging these controllers through a USB hub can serve as a workaround that sometimes mitigates the issue.
