Smartstick+ with Home Assistant

How well does Homeseer’s Smartstick+ work with HASS?

Really old thread, and there doesn’t seem to be many posts about the Smartstick+ at all. I’m using one with HA on a Pi 3 and my Z-wave network is reliable and I don’t have any real issues. I had some trouble at first when upgrading HA (I’m using Hass.io), and Z-wave nodes being renamed. It broke any automations I had. The solution was to take an HA snapshot, save the Z-wave config, stop the Z-wave network, then do the update. This has also worked with complete shutdown/reboot cycles. I read more issues with the Aeotec product, but that’s probably statistical based on the sheer number of users.

How do you make the initial setup? I can’t find any tutorials. Do I just plug in the SmartStick and HA should see z-wave devices?
