Razberry node

[Clusty]

I was wondering if I could use a raspberry+razberry shield as a regular node to send environmental sensor data to my existing zwave controller ( smart things ).
I see no programming doc and all examples talk about creating a controller from the raspberry.

RaZberry is made to be a controller. For sensors better use Z-Uno.

But SmartThings requires special templates for devices and you will need to make own template

I am kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place: one of the devices is usb based and would need to figure out how to get an arduino to act as a usb host ( guess need extra hardware )

Z-Uno is like an Arduino. No need for extra hardware

Arduino cannot be a usb host ( only a usb slave device ) without extra hardware and some abandoned library.

Why do you need USB host? You can connect your sensors via analog/digital pins to the Z-Uno

Not this one. It’s a apogee sq-420
It does serial over usb.
