Well, I'm not sure it qualifies as an adapter... but my cheapie (and extremely flexible!) adapter would probably consist of a set of male to female dupont leads and some double sided tape!And a dremel through the lid if the connectors won't fit under... exposing the whole RPi header while I was at it!

If it is RPi pin-compatible, I think we can all guess the answer there! Would make it a bit more useful also if you have a RPi, as you could swap it between pine64 and RPi if you wanted.
The original intent is the ZWave module can swap between Pine64 and RPi. I think current RPi's ZWave module is over price and using proprietary software stack, Pine64 ZWave module using official certified software stack.
Even though I do agree that the current module is expensive, it's better in the way it doesn't consume the whole bus like yours does. Will you provide a schematic so we could build an adapter to use it on the EULER bus so the PI-bus can be used for something else? Or offer an alternative for the current adapter?
I'm pretty easygoing, but this has made me realise I just threw away money at something that doesn't have purpose for me anymore.
Barring that I would like at least an answer aknowledging the fact that you changed the specs of the reward I pledged for.
We will release the ZWave module schematic on mid October. We prefer the use all 40pin connector so that user will not plug in wrongly. If somebody interest to make the connector short, only the top 4x2 pins are used and the rest are NC (no connect)
