The Vision USB-Stick is a Z-Wave USB dongle. When attached to a host processor, it becomes a Z-Wave communication device, which exposes the Zensys API (SerialAPI) through integrated USB. The primary function of the device is to allow a host processor to control up to 232 Z-Wave devices using the Z-Wave technology protocol. Within the Z-Wave wireless network the Z-Stick acts as a static controller with enhanced (SUC/SIS) network management function. In order to use the full functionality a software application such as Z-Cloud or Z-Way is needed to run on the host. Z-Stick supports all kinds of third party software complying with the Zensys Serial API.
