## 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](http://openzwave.com/), which is what provides Home Assistant's Z-Wave capabilities. USB sticks using the new 700 series Z-Wave platform are not compatible. The following devices have been confirmed to work:

There are [known compatability issues](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=245031#p1502030) with older hardware versions of the Aeotec stick not working on the Raspberry Pi 4. Aeotec has released a 2020 hardware revision ZW090-A with Pi 4 compatibility. Both hardware revisions are still being sold, make informed purchasing decisions if using paired with a Pi 4.

- Everspring USB stick - Gen 5

- GoControl HUSBZB-1 stick

|
- Sigma Designs UZB stick

- Vision USB stick - Gen5

- ZWave.me Razberry Board

- ZWave.me UZB1 stick

|
We recommend that you purchase a [Z-Wave Plus](https://z-wavealliance.org/z-wave_plus_certification/) 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 Home Assistant 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.

## Stick Alternatives
|
|
|
|
The alternative to a stick is a hub that supports Z-Wave. Home Assistant supports the following hubs with Z-Wave support:
|
|
|
|
- [Vera](/integrations/vera/)
|
|
- [Wink](/integrations/wink/)
|
|
- [Fibaro](/integrations/fibaro/)
|
|
- [SmartThings](/integrations/smartthings/)

## Controller Notes
|
|
|
|
### Aeotec Stick
|
|
|
|
By default this will turn on "disco lights", which you can turn off by following the instructions in the [device specific page](/docs/z-wave/device-specific/#aeotec-z-stick)
|
|
|
|
### 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](/docs/z-wave/device-specific/#razberry-board)
