May 25th – Aeotec, a leading innovator in smart home technology, proudly announces the release of the Z-Stick 10 Pro, the world’s first dual-radio USB dongle supporting both Z-Wave 800 Series and Zigbee. Designed for power users and smart home enthusiasts alike, the Z-Stick 10 Pro represents a significant leap forward in home automation flexibility, performance, and range.
At the heart of the Z-Stick 10 Pro lies the cutting-edge Z-Wave 800 Series technology, delivering enhanced security, improved energy efficiency, and reduced latency. This new generation of Z-Wave also unlocks Z-Wave Long Range (Z-Wave LR) capabilities, offering an unprecedented RF range of up to 1 mile — ideal for large homes, outdoor devices, and properties with outbuildings or garages.
“With the Z-Stick 10 Pro, we’re empowering users to build their own local, cloud-free smart home hub with maximum flexibility,” said Denis Paetz, Head of Product at Aeotec. “By combining the best of both Z-Wave and Zigbee in one compact device, it eliminates the need for multiple hubs and brings together the strengths of two leading smart home protocols.”
Key Features of the Z-Stick 10 Pro:
- Dual-Protocol Support: Seamlessly integrates Z-Wave 800 Series and Zigbee into a single USB dongle, allowing users to connect and control a broader range of smart home devices.
- Z-Wave Long Range: Supports Z-Wave LR for ultra-long-distance communication, offering up to 1 mile of RF range while maintaining low power usage and enhanced security.
- Cloud-Free and Local Control: Operates entirely within your local network, ensuring faster response times, enhanced privacy, and full functionality even without internet connectivity.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works effortlessly with Windows, Linux, and macOS. Compatible with popular open-source platforms including HomeAssistant, Zigbee2MQTT, and OpenHAB.
- Compact & Slim Design: Optimized to avoid obstructing neighboring ports, the low-profile design fits any setup while delivering high-performance connectivity.
- State-of-the-Art Hardware: Built on Silicon Labs EFR32ZG23 (Z-Wave) and EFR32MG21 (Zigbee) chipsets for next-gen wireless performance, speed, and stability.
The Z-Stick 10 Pro is the ultimate tool for DIYers, tinkerers, and professional integrators looking to design a personalized, reliable, and future-proof smart home.
