AEOTEC Z-Pi 7

Z-Pi 7 is a daughter board designed to be installed directly onto the Raspberry platform. It has been designed to allow software developers to bring custom automation solutions to market without having to co-develop unique hardware alongside their software. Once connected to a Raspberry, it exposes developers to the complete Z-Wave API, including the Z-Wave 700 series . Compatible with both Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Zero, Z-Pi 7 physically connects to the Raspberry GPIO port. Its small footprint means it can be enclosed in any Raspberry case to offer a seamless all-in-one gateway.

Z-Pi 7 is part of Aeotec's range of turnkey hardware designed to allow solution manufacturers to create automation solutions without developing custom hardware.

What makes it special.

1. Turnkey gateway hardware development solution. Z-Pi 7 offers the fastest time-to-market for hardware developers, the simplest installation, and the most reliable platform on which to build a professional Z-Wave-dependent solution.
2. Made for professional solutions. With Aeotec's Gen7 technology serving as a foundation and its compatibility with Z-Wave Plus V2 (700 series), Z-Stick 7 has been designed for professional solutions looking to use the benefits of that technology, including faster, more secure, and more reliable wireless communication.
3. Full Z-Wave compatibility. Z-Pi 7 fully enables Z-Wave Plus connectivity compatible with all Z-Wave versions from the 100 series to the 700 series. With the latter, it natively enables SmartStart and S2 security.
