Description
Build your own Z-Wave gateway
Aeotec Z-Pi 7 (ZWA025) is a compact Z-Wave daughterboard for makers and integrators. Instead of occupying a USB socket, it connects to the GPIO interface of a compatible single-board computer and gives supported controller software access to the Z-Wave radio.
Where it fits
- Raspberry Pi projects: integrate Z-Wave connectivity into a compact home automation build.
- Professional prototypes: test custom gateway software using an established Z-Wave 700 Series hardware platform.
- Secure inclusion: support compatible Z-Wave S2 and SmartStart inclusion workflows.
- Integrated design: GPIO mounting avoids a separate external USB stick.
Technical specifications
- Model: ZWA025 — Z-Pi 7 (verify regional frequency)
- Radio: Z-Wave 700 Series / Z-Wave Plus V2
- Chipset: Silicon Labs EFR32ZG14
- Security: native S2; SmartStart QR-code inclusion support
- Interface and power: GPIO 3.3 V DC
- Current draw: up to 75 mA (manufacturer specification)
- Dimensions: approximately 42 × 35 × 12 mm
- Host platforms: manufacturer-tested on Raspberry Pi 3 and newer, and Orange Pi Zero; verify your board’s pinout and software support
Installation note
Z-Pi 7 is gateway hardware for technically capable users, not an independent Z-Wave hub. A compatible host, operating system and Z-Wave controller software are required. Power off the host before GPIO installation, verify pin alignment and follow the official guide.
