800 Series Z-Wave Long Range GPIO Module ZAC93 LR (Use with Home Assistant Yellow or Raspberry Pi)

Super fonctionne parfaitement sur ma Box Yellow Home Assistant

It works, and it's cheaper than the USB stick. Slightly tricky to get it working but there's plenty of help online. One thing I found is that the electronic noise from the Pi makes it quite deaf. So it works fine for a door lock 5 m away, but for one 10 m away downstairs, it's very unreliable. I have no other always-on devices to make a mesh. I solved this by adding an external antenna, micro soldering not for the inexperienced. So if this is your only node, perhaps opt for a USB one that can be easily moved away from the Pi.

Installed to RPi5 for HA. Set up according manual, no complications.

Everything worked perfectly. To be clear, it’s not a simple solution when using it with home assistant yellow. It takes root access and config file changes. But if you’re comfortable making those changes, it is a beautiful fit and does a great job. By the way. Many say that you have to disable Bluetooth to use it. When using it with the yellow and pi 5, that is not the case. I have zwave, zigbee, and Bluetooth all active and encased within the yellow’s case.

Very easy installation with Home Assistant. Plug into a USB port, add the integration, and start adding devices. I've been using it for over 6 months and no issues.
