* 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sticks, but taken out the lists of OSs because we just took the list from the OZW pages, and it's clear that's outdated and incomplete

{% linkable_title Supported Z-Wave USB Sticks & Hardware Modules %}
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, which is what provides Home Assistant's Z-Wave capabilities. The following devices have been confirmed to work:
- Aeotec Z-Stick Series 5
- Everspring USB stick - Gen 5
- Sigma Designs UZB stick
- Vision USB stick - Gen5
- Zooz Z-Wave Plus S2 stick ZST10
- ZWave.me Razberry Board
- ZWave.me UZB1 stick
We recommend that you purchase a Z-Wave Plus controller, to take advantage of the improvements this provides. 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.
{% linkable_title Stick Alternatives %}
The alternative to a stick is a hub that supports Z-Wave. Home Assistant supports the following hubs with Z-Wave support:

By default this will turn on "disco lights", which you can turn off by following the instructions in the device specific page
{% linkable_title Razberry Board %}
You need to disable the on-board Bluetooth since the board requires the use of the hardware UART (and there's only one on the Pi3). You do this by following the instructions in the device specific page
