Not Really. Maybe RF range but if you have a decent mesh, it shouldn’t matter.
hello, looks like aeotec has updated there gen 5 stick to work with rpi4.
Has anyone tried this new stick yet?
If it was mentioned in here I missed it, but I’ve been super happy with my zooz stick. As with everything I own made by zooz, the price was right, it functions as expected, and the customer support is great.
I ordered Z-Stick Gen5 from popp.to. Bought EU version. It works fine out of box on a RPi4B.
The new stick works fine in a Rpi4…the older stick just requires a USB 2 (not 3) hub…unpowered is fine. There is no reason to sell your old stick and buy the new one…
Is it possible to use the backup functionality of the Aeotech Gen 5 before 2020 to transfer the configuration of the old stick to the Aeotech Gen 5 2020 (Raspi 4 compatible) without loss. I don’t want to newly pair 80 devices (partly in-wall).
Yes it is. I’ve done this: backed up an older Aeotec Gen 5 Z-Stick and restored it to a new Aeotec Gen 5 Plus Z-Stick, using the software here.
And here is a step-by-step guide:

Thank you so much for this! the “U” is designating north american frequencies right?
I suppose yes. The details are in the description though.
