Optimize Placement. Improve Performance. Clean Up Your Install.
If you rely on a SmartStick USB radio to power your smart home, placement matters more than you might think. Wireless reliability, range, and consistency are all directly affected by how and where your SmartStick is installed.
The HomeSeer Wall Mount Kit for SmartStick is designed to solve one of the most common (and overlooked) problems in smart home setups: poor radio placement. By elevating your SmartStick away from hub electronics and desk-level clutter, this simple accessory can dramatically improve wireless performance while giving your install a cleaner, more professional look.
There are 3 types of SmartStick wall mounts (SmartStick G8, SmartStick G3, SmartStick ZB), all with white and black variants. They retail at a cost effective $4.95, and as of 2/6/26 the SmartStick G8 (White and Black) and SmartStick ZB (Black) are currently available for purchase today. The SmartStick ZB (White) and all SmartStick G3’s are available for pre-order.
Why SmartStick Placement Is Critical
Many users plug their SmartStick directly into a hub, mini-PC, or nearby USB port. While convenient, this setup often leads to unintended side effects:
- Reduced wireless range
- RF interference from nearby electronics
- Cable strain and messy installs
- Inconsistent Z-Wave or Zigbee performance
Smart home hubs, power supplies, monitors, and networking gear all emit electrical noise that can interfere with low-power wireless radios. When your SmartStick is buried behind equipment or resting near metal surfaces, its ability to transmit and receive signals is compromised.
Elevate Your SmartStick for Better Performance
Mounting your SmartStick vertically on a wall allows it to operate in a optimal capacity, because it is the orientation it was engineered for.
By moving the radio away from electronics and positioning it in open air, you can:
- Improve signal propagation throughout your home
- Reduce packet loss and communication retries
- Achieve more consistent long-range device connectivity
- Increase overall network stability
The result is a stable, more responsive system with fewer unexplained dropouts.
A Cleaner, More Professional Installation
Beyond performance, the HomeSeer Wall Mount Kit helps clean up your install:
- No more dangling USB sticks
- No cable strain on USB ports
- No cluttered shelves or desks
Whether your hub lives in a structured wiring panel, server rack area, or home office, wall-mounting your SmartStick creates a tidy, intentional setup that looks as good as it performs.
