Z-Wave support for Home Assistant is very new. We have started now by integrating only the sensors.
Support for Z-Wave can be added by plugging a Z-Wave USB stick into your computer.
To allow Home Assistant to talk to your Z-Wave USB stick you will have to compile `Python Open Z-Wave` yourself. We have made it easy and added a script that will do just that for you: `script/build_python_openzwave`.
Please make sure you have the correct dependencies installed:
```
apt-get install cython3 libudev-dev python-sphinx python3-setuptools
pip3 install cython
```
As an alternative, the Home Assistant docker image has support for Z-Wave built-in.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB0
```
