Network
The Z-Wave stick provides Z-Wave network for the Home Assistant controller and plugs directing into my Home Assistant Server. A Home Assistant integration is available and a Z-Wave USB stick can be plugged directly into the Server or Network Attached Storage (NAS), and can be accessed by Home Assistant even if Home Assistant is running as a Virtual Machine (VM). The Z-Wave network provides secure, local control to all devices, but tends to be more difficult to setup and maintain, and limits the number of compatible hardware options.
