I’ve just started with setting up with Z-wave. I have things up and running with [z-wave.me](http://z-wave.me). How about a Home automation Category.

Ok, So I’ve replaced [z-wave.me](http://z-wave.me) with HomeAssistant. Built this little server with a Pi4, POE hat, and Zooz zac93 gpio module. The good people a Zooz told me the module does not support an antenna. My dremel and soldering iron beg to differ. Works well.

If anyone wants to use the pi POE hat and stack the GPIO pins, you’re going to need these.
