Installation
On a HomeSeer system
- Drivers: SmartStick+ is a virtual COM device with a USB port connection. A software driver is required to allow SmartStick+ to work. The driver is available on homeseer.com/downloads (SmartStick+ Driver). HomeSeer Linux-based hubs are already equipped with the appropriate drivers.
- Physical Installation: Simply attach SmartStick+ to a USB port on your HomeSeer system. If the driver is installed, a COM port number will be assigned by the operating system. To confirm this, open your Windows Device Manager and expand the Ports section. Your SmartStick+ will appear as a USB Serial Device. In the example at the right, Windows has assigned COM port #4 to this SmartStick+. Your COM port may be different.
- Access the web interface of your HomeSeer system using the find.homeseer.com service.
- Install the latest version of the HomeSeer Z-Wave plugin (Z-Wave plugin for HS4 v4.0.3.0 or later or Z-Wave legacy plugin v3.0.3.3 or later).
- Navigate to the Plugins > Z-Wave > Add Interface (HS4) or Plugins > Z-Wave > Controller Management, and click the Add Interface button (HS3).
- Name your SmartStick+, select the SmartStick+ as the device type and then the correct COM port.
- Finish going through the stepper process (HS4) or click the yellow and red disabled button to enable your new SmartStick+ (HS3).
- If system is installed outside of the US or Canada, you'll need to select the proper Interface Region to enable communication on the correct frequency.
- Click the Set Interface Region button
- Choose the proper Region and save your setting.
- Click the Set Interface Region button
On a non-HomeSeer system
- SmartStick+ G3 is a static bridge controller that uses the Z-Wave serial API. Check the manual or user guide for your system for details on how to add a Z-Wave USB interface to your system.
Upgrading From Another Interface
In some cases, HomeSeer system users may be able to upgrade from another interface to SmartStick+ G3 using a backup and restore process. If possible, this would substantially reduce the amount of time and effort needed to convert to SmartStick+ G3. Please visit the SmartStick+ G3 listing at https://homeseer.com/z-wave-interfaces/ for more information about upgrading.
