Z-wave controller commands?

Post by Trixor »

Hi..

I just stumplede over a device that i could add as a z-wave device.

Its called "Z-wave Controller" and seems to allow you to send z-wave commands directly to a z-wave device. BUT! There is'nt a command and class list anywhere?

Im trying to get it to display my association on my remote, and wanted a command to add nodes to a specified group..

Like, Add node 3, 4 to group 5 on remote node 8

How could i do this?

Another thing... Is the z-wave protocol in housebot really version 2.24? The current version is beyound version 5?

Please help :/

The 'Z-wave Controller' Device was something that was created during testing an development of the Z-Wave plugins. I wasn't going to release it, but someone convinced me that it might be helpful for some developers. It's just a simple device that will send the various z-Wave commands to a node. You *might* be able to use it for something useful, but it is really more intended as a development aid if anyone has the Z-Wave SDK and wants to play around with the HouseBot plugins. It's not documented, because if I were to document the commands I'm afraid that I would be in violation of the Z-Wave developer license agreement. However, it wouldn't surprise me if you could find a reference to the z-wave commands somewhere on the internet.

Although HouseBot uses some code from the Z-Wave SDK, the plugin is really more of a pass-through that connects a HouseBot Device through to the real Z-Wave controller. The physical controller is the thing that has the firmware version that you are referring to, not the HouseBot plugin.
