You can get an HUSBZB-1 , which has both a zigbee and zwave antenna in it. Has been working great, for me.

I have hue lights, being controlled by it for several months now. No Hue Bridge.

Edit: as long as you get zwave or zigbee devices, you should be able to control them just fine.

Z-Wave is a popular protocol for HA devices that creates a mesh network so that even if the furthest device can't directly see the "hub," if it can see a device that can see the hub, messages will hop from one to the other. There are a bunch of inexpensive Z-wave devices from garage door openers, switches, plugs, outlets, etc... that all work with Home Assistant. You will however need a "hub" to control them. Fortunately you can get a usb stick to act as the hub and just plug it into the computer you are running HomeAssistant on and you don't need another big device, just the usb stick. (Though you can use something like smarthings to act as the hub interface but I don't really recommend it)

The two most popular usb sticks are the Aeotec and the HUSBZB-1 (note: the HUSBZB-1 also has Zigbee, another popular protocol)

If you'd rather stay with wifi, I have seen some people take a sonoff that they've put inside a waterproof box. Though I have not tried it myself.

Bottom-line - the Smartthings Link doesn't work as a generic z-wave/zigbee USB dongle.

[Edit] - have you considered this? Costs more than the Smartthings Link, but at ~$36, is still reasonably priced. It does zigbee & zwave+ and works with Home Assistant running on an RPi.

Seems like they're in stock in amazon ? https://www.amazon.com/QuickStick-Combo-HUSBZB-1-Nortek-Cert/dp/B0157GOEA8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1527271368&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=HUSBZB-1&psc=1

I'm migrating from a VeraPlus to docker + z-wave stick and there's a few zigbee devices that i can't interface with. So I may end up picking one up.

I have no experience with Microsoft Hyper v, the only VM software I have spent any real time with is proxmox. I would think it would be fine though. You will likely need to run a Linux host for docker, which is what I do through proxmox. I'm not sure how windows handles hardware passthrough, that may be something you want to look into, especially if you want to add a z wave sick.

I'm using a HUSBZB-1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0157GOEA8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share it seems to work pretty well with HA.
