Typically this is done with something like an Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5.

This is what I’m using. The plugs are also Aeotec and work well, although there is some minor high audio frequency when very close to them. Mine are a few years old though.

The Z-Wave integration for Home Assistant is basically plug and play with this stick. I run HA in docker and just pass the device through, works nicely.

One word of caution, the world of Z-Wave with Home Assistant is about to be flipped on its head due to some developer personal constraints. https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/483

Ah, cool, that's good to know. Another piece of kit for the raspberry Pi, glad to hear it's relatively straightforward.
