Silicon Labs UZB-7 Z-Wave 700 Stick (SLUSB001A)
HARDWARE Silicon Labs · Z-Wave
Project site ↗ Silicon Labs' EFR32ZG14 USB stick that exposes the Z-Wave Serial API to a host — the controller adapter the Z-Wave PC Controller drives, and (re-flashed with Zniffer firmware) the capture adapter for the Z-Wave Zniffer. The official native-radio hardware for both vendor tools, ~US$21.
COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE & PROJECTS
Silicon Labs' official GUI controller (Simplicity Studio): implements a Z-Wave controller node over the Serial API of a UZB USB adapter, so you can include/exclude nodes, browse the device's supported command classes and send them — driving a Z-Wave network legitimately from a PC. The application-layer counterpart to the Zniffer's capture.
Silicon Labs' official GUI tool (in Simplicity Studio) that captures RF communication on a Z-Wave network for debugging — the vendor sniffer. Decodes the full Z-Wave frame including command classes and shows security (S0/S2) handshakes. Needs a USB Z-Wave adapter flashed with Zniffer firmware (e.g. a UZB stick). The turnkey capture path when an SDR demod is too fiddly.
