I'm wondering if I can get a device that enables zwave over Ethernet/wifi and connect that to my home assistant setup?

Basically I have a home assistant setup in my house. I want to add a few simple things to my parents place but I want it to all be on the same HA instance.

On the router in my parents place, I can install wireguard to connect it to my LAN. So now my parents network is the same as my LAN network.

I'm looking for a device that can connect to zwave and then send that info over the LAN to my home assistant. Does such a thing exist? Thanks.

If your parents network and yours become "the same LAN", I guess you just need to connect the same way you'd connect to your app locally. I don't see why a third-party device is needed

I need to connect zwave devices at my parents place but the controller USB dongle is at my place.

If I understand correctly, you have a Home Assistant server, and a Z-Wave USB dongle plugged into the machine the server runs on. I think this can help:

This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!
