SmartStick+ G3 Z-Wave Interface
OVERVIEW
SmartStick+ G3 is a USB Z-Wave interface that’s designed to send and receive
wireless Z-Wave commands to and from compatible smart home products in the home.
SmartStick+ is compatible with most smart home systems including HomeSeer HS3 &
HS4-powered software and hubs. Click the QR code to the right or visit
homeseer.com/zwave-interfaces for more information on SmartStick+ G3.
INSTALLATION ON A HOMESEER SYSTEM
1. Drivers: SmartStick+ is a virtual COM device with a USB port connection. A software driver is
required to allow SmartStick+ to work. Windows 10 will automatically acquire the driver but if
you’re using Windows 7 or 8, the driver is available on homeseer.com/downloads (SmartStick+
Driver). HomeSeer Linux-based hubs are already equipped with the appropriate drivers.
2. Physical Installation: Simply attach SmartStick+ to a USB port
on your HomeSeer system. If the driver is installed, a COM port
number will be assigned by the operating system. To confirm this,
open your Windows Device Manager and expand the Ports
section. Your SmartStick+ will appear as a USB Serial Device. In
the example at the right, Windows has assigned COM port #4 to this SmartStick+. Your COM port
may be different.
3. Access the web interface of your HomeSeer system using the find.homeseer.com service.
4. Install the latest version of the HomeSeer Z-Wave plugin (v3.0.3.3 or later).
5. Navigate to the Plugins > Z-Wave > Add Interface (HS4) or Plugins > Z-Wave > Controller
Management, and click the Add Interface button (HS3).
6. Name your SmartStick+, select the SmartStick+ as the device type and then the correct COM
port.
7. Finish going through the stepper process (HS4) or click the yellow and red disabled button to
enable your new SmartStick+ (HS3).
INSTALLATION ON A NON-HOMESEER SYSTEM
SmartStick+ G3 is a static bridge controller that uses the Z-Wave serial API. Check the manual or
user guide for your system for details on how to add a Z-Wave USB interface to your system.
UPGRADING FROM ANOTHER INTERFACE
In some cases, HomeSeer system users may be able to upgrade from another interface to
SmartStick+ G3 using a backup and restore process. If possible, this would substantially reduce the
amount of time and effort needed to convert to SmartStick+ G3. Please visit the SmartStick+ G3
listing at homeseer.com/zwave-interfaces for more information about upgrading.
