Installation steps:

1. Install the RaZberry 7 Pro shield on the Raspberry Pi GPIO

2. Install Z-Way software
The RaZberry 7 Pro shield is designed to work with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, 

but is fully compatible with all previous models, such as: A, A+, B, B+, 2B, Zero, 

Zero W, 3A+, 3B, 3B+. The maximum potential of the RaZberry 7 Pro is achieved 

together with Z-Way software.

There are several ways to install Z-Way:

1. Download a flash card image based on Raspberry Pi OS with pre-installed 

Z-Way (flash card minimum size is 4 GB) 

https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/raspberryPiOS_zway.img.zip

2. Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from an apt repository: 

wget -q -O - https://storage.z-wave.me/RaspbianInstall | sudo bash

3. Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from a deb package: 

https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/

It is recommended to use the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS

NOTE:

 RaZberry 7 Pro is also compatible with other third party Z-Wave 

software supporting Silicon Labs Z-Wave Serial API.
After the successful installation of Z-Way, make sure that Raspberry Pi has 

Internet access. In the same local network go to 

https://find.z-wave.me

, you 

will see the local IP address of your Raspberry Pi below the login form. Click 

on the IP to reach the Z-Way Web UI initial setup screen. The welcome screen 

shows the Remote ID and will prompt you to set the administrator password.

NOTE:

 If you are in the same local network with the Raspberry Pi, you can 

access Z-Way Web UI using a browser by typing in the address bar: 

http://

RASPBERRY_IP:8083

.

After setting the administrator password you can access the Z-Way Web UI 

from anywhere in the world, to do this go to 

https://find.z-wave.me

, type  

ID/login (e.g. 12345/admin) and enter your password.

PRIVACY NOTE:

 Z-Way by default connects to the server 

find.z-wave.me

 

in order to provide remote access. If you don’t need this service, you can turn 

off this feature after logging into Z-Way (Main menu > Settings > Remote 

Access). All communications between Z-Way and the server 

find.z-wave.me

 

are encrypted and protected by certificates.
