Network stays up and nodes stay connected as they should. I'm running this on homeseer installed on a windows 11 server. it's been up and running for weeks now with absolutely zero issues to note. Review: Ich verwende das Modul mit ZwaveJS (UI) und Home Assistant. Der Stick wurde direkt erkannt. In seltenen Fällen gibt es auch mit der aktuellen Firmware (v7.22.2) den Fehler, dass keine Kommunikation möglich ist. Ich habe aber dadurch keine Beeinträchtigung feststellen können. Der Controller funktioniert ansonsten ohne Probleme. Die Region kann in den Einstellungen (in ZwaveJS UI) geändert werden, falls das benötigt ist. ## Features - 800 SERIES Z-WAVE LONG RANGE (LR): SmartStick G8 LR wireless range of up to 1.5 miles with LR compatible software and hubs. Z-Wave JS UI v9.10.0 (or later), used by HomeSeer (with Z-Wave Plus plugin) and Home Assistant, supports this feature. Note: End devices must also support Z-Wave LR and must be added to your system as LR devices. - EASY MIGRATION (UPGRADE) FROM OTHER CONTROLLERS: SmartStick G8 supports Z-Wave network migration from other 500, 700 or 800 series controllers equipped with Z-Wave library (ZDK) v6.61 or later. YOU MUST USE Z-Wave JS UI v9.9.0 (or later) to accomplish this migration. HomeSeer (with Z-Wave Plus plugin) and Home Assistant, support this feature. DO NOT USE PC CONTROLLER OR ANY OTHER METHOD FOR MIGRATION - THIS WILL RENDER THE STICK UNUSABLE. - DUAL NETWORK SUPPORT: SmartStick G8 is designed to manage a standard mesh network (for non LR devices) and a long range network (for LR devices) simultaneously. Install standard Z-Wave devices within your home and LR devices outside your home and manage them all for Z-Wave LR compatible software and hubs (like HomeSeer and Home Assistant). - USER UPGRADABLE FIRMWARE: SmartStick G8 ships with the latest Z-Wave library (ZDK) installed from the factory. As new ZDK versions are released, you'll be able to upgrade SmartStick G8 to stay on the cutting edge of Z-Wave technology. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D29Y1L5H | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 528,694 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 225 in Home Automation Devices | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (88) | | Date First Available | 21 July 2024 | | Included Components | Quick Start Guide, SmartStick G8, Storage Cap | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 32 g | | Item model number | SmartStick G8 | | Manufacturer | HomeSeer | | Part Number | SmartStick G8 | | Product Dimensions | 7.62 x 2.54 x 1.02 cm; 32 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HomeSeer - **Hardware Interface:** USB 2.0 Type A - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Smart home devices with Z-Wave support - **Data Link Protocol:** Z-Wave - **Item Weight:** 0.03 Kilograms - **UPC:** 757347266964 - **Manufacturer:** HomeSeer ## Images ![HomeSeer SmartStick G8 (800 Series) Z-Wave Plus v2 Long Range (LR) S2 USB Controller for HomeSeer and Home Assistant Software and Hubs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51IdvqDfQiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***. on 26 August 2025* Great improvement over the previous iterations i've used.
