There are more threads on this forum regarding which Z-Wave stick is best than I can possibly count. Every one of them conclude the Z-Wave.ME UZB is best.
For international shipments, the ZME UZB is also the one HomeSeer supply within their own products.
However, HomeSeer's restore function IS provided for it but does NOT work and their official stance is "sorry, go rebuild everything manually".
ZME UZB is therefore not a fully supported product and is actually dangerous to have given the above.
Aeotec's Z-Wave stick is outright unsupported for restores with HomeSeer, there is no option for that. Plus lots of complaints it freezes with intermittently with HomeSeer (I experienced this in my early testing too).
There are a few other Z-Wave sticks but they are US frequency only.
The Philio (and Black Cat I believe rebranded same stick) I am told HomeSeer supports restores, but then that's the case with ZME too yet it is not. Plus the Philio has no firmware updates so you are stuck with an older Z-Wave SDK. To that end I have no idea if it is properly and fully supported?
Zooz looks exciting but at the moment US frequency only, and oh yeah HomeSeer fails with restores for that too anyway.
Serious question - is there anything other than HomeSeer's own Z-Stick that is actually 100% supported?
Bonus question - given the HomeSeer Z-Stick is US frequency only, is there actually any 100% supported stick at all for HomeSeer with international frequencies?
Surely there is something otherwise the lack of ability to restore renders HomeSeer an unviable product for non-US markets?!?
