[Z-Wave](http://www.z-wave.com/) support for Home Assistant is very new. We have started now by integrating only the sensors.
[Z-Wave](http://www.z-wave.com/) integration for Home Assistant allows you to observe and control connected Z-Wave devices. Z-Wave support requires a Z-Wave USB stick to be plugged into the host.
Support for Z-Wave can be added by plugging a Z-Wave USB stick into your computer.
There is currently support for switches, lights and sensors. All will be picked up automatically after configuring this platform.
To allow Home Assistant to talk to your Z-Wave USB stick you will have to compile `Python Open Z-Wave` yourself. We have made it easy and added a script that will do just that for you: `script/build_python_openzwave`.
### Installation
Please make sure you have the correct dependencies installed:
To allow Home Assistant to talk to your Z-Wave USB stick you will have to compile Python Open Z-Wave. This can be done using [this script](https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/dev/script/build_python_openzwave). _(The Home Assistant docker image has support for Z-Wave built-in)_
Make sure you have the correct dependencies installed before running the script:
```bash
$ apt-get install cython3 libudev-dev python-sphinx python3-setuptools
$ pip3 install "cython<0.23"
```
As an alternative, the Home Assistant docker image has support for Z-Wave built-in.
