Hi all, I'm very new to HA and I recently got my first Zigbee system setup using a Sonoff Zigbee Pro flashed with tasmota. I'd like to get a thermostat and it looks like Z-wave is the most available non-WiFi protocol. I don't want to use a stick since I don't want to have to place it in my network rack, and take up USB slots. I'm a bit confused by the ecosystem in terms of hardware. All the devices I see seem to be full controllers, where I just want to use it as a bridge similar to the Sonoff I have.
#What should I get for a Z-Wave bridge that isn't a stick?

A USB stick or GPIO controller (Raspberry PI), or POE versions of that are what HA supports natively. Anything else is outside of the HA ecosystem. Not familiar with you have, so it's not clear on what your requirements are.
