Setup Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5, Z-Wave Plus USB

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hi,
I’m new to this system and I wanted to know how to setup Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5, Z-Wave Plus USB with Home Assistant 0.77.2. I originally was with openHAB but I saw HASS.IO so I bought a brand new Raspberry Pi 3 Model 3 Plus. Can someone walk me though the process of setting this up and adding switches to it?

Those are the Zwave docs. Let us know if you have a specific question.

Here is my zwave section in the configuration.yaml file as an example;

zwave:
  config_path: /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.6/site-packages/python_openzwave/ozw_config
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
  network_key: "0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0xA1, 0xA2, 0xA3, 0xA4, 0xA5, 0xA6, 0xA7"
  device_config:
    light.zw_light_1_level: 
      polling_intensity: 1
      refresh_value: true
      delay: 3
    light.zw_light_2_level:
      polling_intensity: 1
      refresh_value: true
      delay: 3
    switch.garage_lights_switch:
      polling_intensity: 1
  polling_interval: 10000

You’ll obviously need to put in the info for your setup (i.e. the usb location of the zstick and the network key) and add/remove any other options as needed.
