The **Z-Wave** {% term integration %} allows you to control a Z-Wave network from Home Assistant via the [Z-Wave JS](https://zwave-js.github.io/node-zwave-js/#/) driver.

+
Z-Wave JS is a hardware-independent [Z-Wave controller](https://z-wavealliance.org/) implementation that can replace most proprietary Z-Wave controllers (also sometimes refered to as a Z-Wave hub, Z-Wave gateway, or Z-Wave bridge).

This **Z-Wave** {% term integration %} uses the [Z-Wave JS](https://zwave-js.github.io/node-zwave-js/#/) driver to allow you to control a Z-Wave network from Home Assistant via one of many compatible hardware radio adapters.

You do not need a Z-Wave adapter that is specifically designed for the Z-Wave integration in Home Assistant. The Z-Wave integration in Home Assistant can be operated with any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

The {% term integration %} currently supports the following platforms (device types) within Home Assistant:

## Device compatibility and getting started
78
+
79
+
To get started with Z-Wave devices in Home Assistant you only need a Z-Wave controller adapter that is compatible with the Z-Wave JS driver, (those usually come in a USB dongle form factor). The sections below explain how you set up a Z-Wave JS server and how to add your first Z-Wave device to Home Assistant. It also introduces you to some of the basic terminology.

+
The Z-Wave integration in Home Assistant will work with Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. It creates a single Z-Wave network to which you can wirelessly add most off-the-shelf [Z-Wave-based devices](https://devices.zwave-js.io/) (which are referred to as nodes). All mains-powered Z-Wave devices that you add to the network will act as Z-Wave repeaters regardless of vendor to increase range and reliability of the network mesh.

This implementation depends on an open-source project called [Z-Wave JS](https://github.com/zwave-js), so any product that is compatible with the [Z-Wave JS](https://zwave-js.github.io/node-zwave-js/#/) driver can be used with Home Assistant.
