Nortek ZWave Plus

#1

I just purchased this device from Amazon. Raspian sees it just fine and the Gateway sees both the serial ports it provides. It appears to setup the ZWave correctly, but fails to find the Zigbee side of the dongle. I did a search here and it appears the device is supported. However, I get this:

Is it possible I just have a bad dongle?

The only Zigbee dongles which are currently supported are the Digi XStick and the Conbee (1 & 2). See here for more information: https://github.com/mozilla-iot/wiki/wiki/Supported-Hardware#zigbee

I already have the Conbee II, but I was hoping this one could replace it, having a two in one solution. It seems a fairly popular device with other HA systems. What are the chances this will be supported in the future?

Ah, interesting to see that it is a discontinued product. I guess I will be sending it back to Amazon. I don’t yet have any ZWave devices, but was planning for the future. I will stick with the ConBee II for now I guess and look at ZWave dongles once I consider ZWave devices. Thanks again.
