Z-Pi 7 is a daughter board designed to be installed directly on the Raspberry Pi microcomputer. It was designed to enable software developers to bring custom automation solutions to market without having to co-develop unique hardware in addition to their software. Once connected to a Raspberry, it exposes developers to the full Z-Wave API, including the 700 Z-Wave series.
Compatible with the Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Zero, the Z-Pi 7 physically connects to the Raspberry's GPIO port. Its small footprint means it can be packed into any Raspberry case to offer a seamless all-in-one gateway.
The Z-Pi 7 is part of Aeotec's turnkey hardware line designed to enable solution manufacturers to create automation solutions without developing custom hardware.
Turnkey development solution.
Z-Pi 7 offers the fastest time-to-market for hardware developers, the most seamless installation, and the most reliable platform on which to create a professional solution running on Z-Wave technology.
Designed for professional solutions.
With Aeotec's Gen7 technology serving as the foundation and its compatibility with Z-Wave Plus V2 (700 series), Z-Pi 7 has been designed for professional solutions that want to use the benefits of these technologies, including faster, safer and more reliable wireless communication.
Full Z-Wave compatibility.
Z-Pi 7 fully enables Z-Wave Plus connectivity which is compatible with all Z-Wave versions from the 100 series to the 700 series. With the latter, it natively activates SmartStart and S2-security.
