    Greetings all,

    I was wondering if there was a USB dongle I could throw on to my OpenHAB box giving it the ability to function as a controller AND a gateway ?

    It would be awesome to not need a separate device for the gateway.

    Not sure if such as thing exists.

    Thanks !

          No, I am not.

          I am running OpenHAB in an Ubuntu server VM and am using USB passthrough to provide OpenHAB with Z-Wave/Zigbee functionality and I was hoping to do the same with this.

          Perhaps I can install Mosquitto on that same box and pass a radio dongle through to it ?

            @iostreamz314 The serial gateway is what you are looking for. But it's not a ready made dongle you are able to buy. You have to build it. 😉
