Zi-Stick — Zigbee USB Stick to Build a Local Zigbee 3.0 Hub for Smart Home Devices

Create a self-contained Zigbee gateway that keeps command processing and data local — no cloud dependency required. The Zi-Stick uses a USB-UART bridge for straightforward connectivity, making it simple to integrate with automation platforms such as openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT, FHEM, Node-RED, io Broker, Jeedom, and Home Assistant. Built on the same compact footprint as our best selling Z-Stick 7 ZWave USB controller, the Zi-Stick is deliberately tiny — and can be used alongside the Z-Stick 7 for a comprehensive smart home setup. It runs Zigbee 3.0 to ensure broad compatibility with hundreds of Zigbee products. Install it on a Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Laptops, or PC's to convert ordinary hardware into a full-featured home automation gateway.
