Protocols Z-Wave
Does Nodlyn support Z-Wave?
Z-Wave stick + controller integration for locks, sensors, and switches.
Compatibility answer
Yes — at the protocol level. Nodlyn can discover Z-Wave endpoints and register them for visual workflows.
Discovery looks for Z-Wave USB sticks / controller endpoints configured in Studio.
What Z-Wave support means in Nodlyn
Z-Wave locks, sensors, and switches connect through a USB stick / Z-Wave JS style controller that Nodlyn can discover. Once included, the same drag-and-drop patterns apply: motion → light, door unlock → notify, energy plug → log.
Deep stick setup and Z-Wave JS UI notes are in the Z-Wave blog article. Here we confirm protocol support and the emblematic brands (Aeotec, Zooz, Fibaro, Yale locks).
This page is a compatibility check (supported or not, how you connect). Step-by-step tutorials live on the blog when linked below — so Google (and readers) get one clear “how-to” URL.
Example automations with Z-Wave
- Lock event → audit log
- Motion → Z-Wave light
- Energy plug → cost estimate
