SmartStick G8 is a Z-Wave Plus V2 USB stick for use with HomeSeer, Home Assistant, and other Z-Wave compatible smart home software. SmartStick G8 offers extended wireless range (up to 1.5 miles for Z-Wave LR compatible software, hubs and end devices) and better security compared to previous SmartStick models. SmartStick G8 may be used with HomeSeer Z-NETs for a centrally managed, multi-network installation.
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.
