Bundle: Home Assistant Green + Z-Wave Antenna ZWA-2 – Perfect replacement for Devolo Home Control

This bundle is aimed at users whose Devolo Z-Wave system is being discontinued and who wish to continue using their existing Z-Wave devices. Home Assistant Green serves as a compact, fully prepared smart home hub, while the ZWA-2 Z-Wave antenna provides the modern Z-Wave controller that can seamlessly take over your existing device portfolio. The result is an open, powerful, and future-proof system without any cloud requirements.

Highlights

• Ideal for Devolo switchers: continue using existing Z-Wave devices instead of buying everything new.
• Home Assistant Green: ready-to-use smart home hub with Home Assistant OS.
• ZWA-2 Z-Wave antenna: powerful USB controller with support for Z-Wave and Z-Wave Long Range (region-dependent).
• Open platform with local control, regular updates, and a vast variety of integrations.
• Expandable with Zigbee, Thread, Matter, or Wi-Fi devices via Home Assistant.

What this bundle was designed for

Many Devolo users face the issue that the product line is being discontinued and no further development is taking place. This bundle replaces the Devolo hub with Home Assistant Green and takes over the function of the Devolo Z-Wave controller with the ZWA-2. Radiator thermostats, door/window sensors, motion detectors, and other Z-Wave devices can thus continue to be operated.

Scope of delivery

• Home Assistant Green (smart home hub)
• Home Assistant Connect ZWA-2 (USB Z-Wave antenna)

Home Assistant Green

Home Assistant Green is ready to use immediately. Simply connect it to the power adapter and your network. The hardware is optimized for quiet, energy-efficient continuous operation. Home Assistant OS is pre-installed, including automatic updates directly from the Home Assistant project.

Home Assistant Connect ZWA-2

The ZWA-2 adds a modern Z-Wave controller to the system. The stick is tailored to Home Assistant, is integrated directly via Z-Wave JS or Z-Wave JS UI, and enables stable wireless networks, even with many devices. Integration works locally, without any cloud dependency.

Advantages over Devolo

• No manufacturer dependence and no cloud lock-in.
• Your Z-Wave network is continued entirely within Home Assistant.
• More automation possibilities and a significantly larger selection of devices.
• System can be expanded arbitrarily or combined with other wireless standards.

Typical migration

1. Connect Home Assistant Green and open it in your browser.
2. Plug in the ZWA-2 and set it up as a Z-Wave controller.
3. Turn off the Devolo hub, exclude devices from the old system, and pair them anew in Home Assistant.
4. Create automations step-by-step in Home Assistant.

Notes

• Z-Wave frequency designed for Europe.
• Z-Wave devices must be removed from the previous system before pairing in Home Assistant.
• Ethernet network required.
