Valent: /* Main Core (Hybrid) */

[[Category: Zwave_Setups]]

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

=Software=

I'll try [[AsRock 330 ION HT]] both as MD and as a Core. Then share my experience with it.

==== Hardware issues ====
Audio card onboard Asus A7N8X Deluxe by default uses '''snd_intel8x0''' Linux module but that doesn't work at all, then I compiled '''nvsound''' driver manually [http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253725], got module built and loaded but still no sound?!?. rperre on IRC also has same motherboard and same issue so we both decided it is best to disable this sound card in bios and install PCI audio card instead.

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

== LinuxMCE learning Tasks ==
* [DONE] Install LinuxMCE
* [DONE] Get familiar with LinuxMCE Orbiter UI
* [DONE] Buy ZWave starter kit (Dongle, wall plug and one light switch)
* [DONE] Get LinuxMCE to control lights connected to wall plug and via light switch
* [DONE] Buy ZWave motion and door sensor
* [DONE] Get lights to turn on and off triggered by motion and door sensors
* Configure advanced security and motion detection scenarios

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

== LinuxMCE learning Tasks ==
* [DONE] Install LinuxMCE
* [DONE] Get familiar with LinuxMCE Orbiter UI
* [DONE] Buy ZWave starter kit (Dongle, wall plug and one light switch)
* [DONE] Get LinuxMCE to control lights connected to wall plug and via light switch

== Description ==
The Tellstick is a power controller for cheap RF devices like the [http://www.nexa.se/ Nexa line]. It's detected with LMCE's Plug-n Play.
Currently only basic support is added, namely power on, power off and dimlevel.
N.B. this is an RF tranmsmitter, it cannot read the state of the devices, nor can it receive data from remotes, sensors or other equipment sending an RF signal. Telldus have developed a device for this (Tellstick Duo) which is not supported at this time.

== Setup ==
The device is plug and play for LMCE, software automatically downloaded and installed when you plug it into an USB port.

== Adding lights ==
# [http://192.168.80.1/ web admin] -> Show devices tree -> Telldus USB RF controller
# Create Child Device -> Pick device template -> ''take your pick'' (I added "Light Switch (on/off)")
# Device data -> Port/Channel Number -> ''Device ID'' -> '''save''' (codes correspond to the Device ID or Device Name you've set in /etc/tellstick.conf)

== Troubleshooting ==

== Reference Info ==
[http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick Manufacturer website]

== Reference for 8.10 until P'nP is verified ==
At this point you'll need to add the driver software yourself. Install the telldus-core package as described [http://developer.telldus.se/wiki/TellStickInstallationUbuntu here]

Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: (This is pointing to 2.0 repos, 2.1 currently break functionality)
deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ 2.0 main

If you want to try the latest beta software, also add the following:
deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ unstable main

The Telldus public key for apt-secure is added with
wget -q http://download.telldus.se/debian/telldus-public.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Telldus Technologies AB <info.tech@telldus.se>

To install telldus-core
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install telldus-core

If you install telldus-core version 2.1 you need to downgrade. If you get any trouble (like cannot connect to Telldus service or lib missing), install the correct libtelldus by:
wget http://download.telldus.com/debian/pool/2.0/libtelldus-core2_2.0.4-2_i386.deb

[[Category: Cases]]

[[Category: Zwave_Setups]]

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

=Software=
My current installation is based on the beta <del>23165</del> <del>23388</del> <del>23493</del> 23563 snapshot http://linuxmce.iptp.org/snapshots/

= Hardware =

=== Main Core (Hybrid) ===

=== AsRock 330 ION HT ===
I'll try [[AsRock 330 ION HT]] both as MD and as a Core. Then share my experience with it.

==== Hardware issues ====
Audio card onboard Asus A7N8X Deluxe by default uses '''snd_intel8x0''' Linux module but that doesn't work at all, then I compiled '''nvsound''' driver manually [http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253725], got module built and loaded but still no sound?!?. rperre on IRC also has same motherboard and same issue so we both decided it is best to disable this sound card in bios and install PCI audio card instead.

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

== LinuxMCE learning Tasks ==
* [DONE] Install LinuxMCE
* [DONE] Get familiar with LinuxMCE Orbiter UI
* [DONE] Buy ZWave starter kit (Dongle, wall plug and one light switch)

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

Foscam FI8908W

Valent: /* Links */

[[Category: Hardware]]
{{Versioninfo}}
[[Category: Cameras]]
[[Category: IP Cameras]]

[[Image:Foscam-FI8908W.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]

== Info ==
Cheap IR wireless IP/Network Pan/tilt Camera

== Status ==
Provisionally working either as a plug and play IP camera with pan/tilt commands or as a 'Generic Motion IP camera' under motion wrapper and used as a sensor as well as recording movement etc.

== Generic Motion IP Camera Hack ==
If using under motion the pan/tilt commands do not work. It can optionally be made 'plug and play' under motion by manually adding the mac range of both the wireless and wired adapters into the 'Generic Motion IP Camera' template:
* Wireless range 79373008896 to 79389786111 (DHCP).
* Wired range 414170742784 to 414171791359 (DHCP).

After the device has been detected and assigned a room just give it a sensible name and add the following to the path parameter in web admin:
* hxxp://<CAMERA_IP_ADDRESS>/videostream.cgi?user=XXXXX&pwd=XXXXX

Replace the ip address and the XXXXX with your settings

Pros:
* Plug and Play (Just give it a sensible name)
* Installed under motion for security monitoring/recording
Cons:
* Path must be manually set as described above
* No Pan/Tilt other than via its own web interface

== Plug and Play Template Settings ==
This camera is fully plug and play as a stand-alone pan/tilt camera by duplicating the panasonic template and inserting the following scripts.

It can be made 'plug and play' by adding the mac range of both the wireless and wired adapters into the new template:
* Wireless range 79373008896 to 79389786111 (DHCP).
* Wired range 414170742784 to 414171791359 (DHCP).

Pros:
* Plug and play (Just give it a sensible name)
* Pan and Tilt work from on screen arrows
Cons:
* No motion capture

== Features ==
* Browser based
* 10/100mbit LAN
== Dropouts ==
There have been reports of dhcp dropouts. Suggested fix:

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

=Software=

I'll try [[AsRock 330 ION HT]] both as MD and as a Core. Then share my experience with it.

==== Hardware issues ====
Audio card onboard Asus A7N8X Deluxe by default uses '''snd_intel8x0''' Linux module but that doesn't work at all, then I compiled '''nvsound''' driver manually [http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253725], got module built and loaded but still no sound?!?. rperre on IRC also has same motherboard and same issue so we both decided it is best to disable this sound card in bios and install PCI audio card instead.

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

== LinuxMCE learning Tasks ==
* [DONE] Install LinuxMCE
* [DONE] Get familiar with LinuxMCE Orbiter UI
* [DONE] Buy ZWave starter kit (Dongle, wall plug and one light switch)
* [DONE] Get LinuxMCE to control lights connected to wall plug and via light switch
* [DONE] Buy ZWave motion and door sensor
* [DONE] Get lights to turn on and off triggered by motion and door sensors
* Configure advanced security and motion detection scenarios

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

=Software=
My current installation is based on the beta <del>23165</del> <del>23388</del> <del>23493</del> 23563 snapshot http://linuxmce.iptp.org/snapshots/

=== AsRock 330 ION HT ===
I'll try [[AsRock 330 ION HT]] both as MD and as a Core. Then share my experience with it.

==== Hardware issues ====
Audio card onboard Asus A7N8X Deluxe by default uses '''snd_intel8x0''' Linux module but that doesn't work at all, then I compiled '''nvsound''' driver manually [http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253725], got module built and loaded but still no sound?!?. rperre on IRC also has same motherboard and same issue so we both decided it is best to disable this sound card in bios and install PCI audio card instead.

[[Image:F8918W.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]

== Thanks ==
Thank you to the author of the [[Foscam FI8908W]] page as this is mostly a copy.
 

== Info ==
Cheap IR wireless IP/Network Pan/tilt Camera. There is no zoom with this camera.
 
Very similar camera to the [[Foscam FI8908W]] with some modifications to the camera (IR lights) but the firmware (I believe) is the same as the predecessor, the [[Foscam FI8908W]]

== What's New ==
'''Compared to the older [[Foscam FI8908W]]:'''
* IR lights can be turned off with the software (Not in LinuxMCE)
* Audio quality is apparently improved and an added microphone jack is provided. (Not used in LinuxMCE)
* Extra IR light (Eleven now)
* Power and network light at the back of the camera.
* Haven't noticed any drop out isssues on my system

== Status ==
Working as a plug and play IP camera with pan/tilt commands.
 
Should work as a 'Generic Motion IP camera' under motion wrapper and used as a sensor as well as recording movement etc. - Check the [[Foscam FI8908W]] page for more.

== Plug and Play Template Settings ==
This camera is fully plug and play as a stand-alone pan/tilt camera by duplicating the panasonic template and inserting the following scripts.
 
NOTE: The left and right scripts are the other way around from the what is noted in the [[Foscam FI8908W]]

It can be made 'plug and play' by adding the mac range of both the wireless and wired adapters into the new template:
* Wireless range 963357310976 to 963357376511 (DHCP).
* Wired range ??????? - Will try and find this out???????

Pros:
* Plug and play (Just give it a sensible name)
* Pan and Tilt work from on screen arrows
Cons:
* No motion capture

== Features ==
* Browser based
* 10/100mbit LAN
* WPA2 wireless security

== Dropouts ==
There have been reported drop outs with the Foscam F8908W but I have not noticed this with the Foscam F8918W but I do use a static IP address.

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

== LinuxMCE learning Tasks ==
* [DONE] Install LinuxMCE
* [DONE] Get familiar with LinuxMCE Orbiter UI
* [DONE] Buy ZWave starter kit (Dongle, wall plug and one light switch)
* [DONE] Get LinuxMCE to control lights connected to wall plug and via light switch
* [DONE] Buy ZWave motion and door sensor
* [DONE] Get lights to turn on and off triggered by motion and door sensors
* Configure advanced security and motion detection scenarios

== Interesting LinuxMCE links ==
* [[RoamingOrb]] - iPhone LinuxMCE app
* [[Web Orbiter 2.0]] - Web Orbiter
* [http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=11513.0 PadOrbiter 2.0] - touch orbiters on MeeGo

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

== LinuxMCE learning Tasks ==
* [DONE] Install LinuxMCE
* [DONE] Get familiar with LinuxMCE Orbiter UI
* [DONE] Buy ZWave starter kit (Dongle, wall plug and one light switch)
* [DONE] Get LinuxMCE to control lights connected to wall plug and via light switch
* [DONE] Buy ZWave motion and door sensor
* [DONE] Get lights to turn on and off triggered by motion and door sensors
* Configure advanced security and motion detection scenarios

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

== LinuxMCE learning Tasks ==
* [DONE] Install LinuxMCE
* [DONE] Get familiar with LinuxMCE Orbiter UI
* [DONE] Buy ZWave starter kit (Dongle, wall plug and one light switch)
* [DONE] Get LinuxMCE to control lights connected to wall plug and via light switch
* [DONE] Buy ZWave motion and door sensor
* [DONE] Get lights to turn on and off triggered by motion and door sensors
* Configure advanced security and motion detection scenarios

== Interesting LinuxMCE links ==
* [[RoamingOrb]] - iPhone LinuxMCE app

Purps could you integrate/refer/link your VirtualBox experience into the following page?
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_LinuxMCE_on_Virtual_Machine_via_VirtualBox
Thanks BongoWongo

P.S. Big fan of your work/ideas

This is why Zaerc asked you to use preview and not save button all the time:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=30&limit=500
Zaerc probably tracks spammers on wiki pages but if you save a lot of time he can miss some spammed pages it lots of users save their pages on every edit. Instead of saving just select all of text and copy it into your clipboard, that way it is "saved" and you can continue writing. Hope this helps. --[[User:Valent|Valent]] 11:29, 9 January 2011 (CET)

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

=Introduction=
Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

=Software=

= Learning about smart home technology, LinuxMCE way =
I really love smart home technology and have been thinking and dreaming about it for last 15 years. So when I saw LinuxMCE for the first time I was awe struck. I was amazed by what is possible but even more that it is possible to get involved with this project and make your own smart home. For first year or two I didn't really do much, but since late 2008, for last two years I got my hands really dirty with LinuxMCE. After lots and lots of reading I finally got my head around most of smart home technologies and protocols. Now that I hopefully know what how each of the technologies fits in greater scheme of things I can go and create a few mini projects in my flat to demo LinuxMCE and smart home technologies.

== LinuxMCE learning Tasks ==
* [DONE] Install LinuxMCE
* [DONE] Get familiar with LinuxMCE Orbiter UI
* [DONE] Buy ZWave starter kit (Dongle, wall plug and one light switch)
* [DONE] Get LinuxMCE to control lights connected to wall plug and via light switch
* [DONE] Buy ZWave motion and door sensor
* [DONE] Get lights to turn on and off triggered by motion and door sensors
* Configure advanced security and motion detection scenarios

Just tried the directions.
I downloaded the stuff.
The scripts downloaded a bunch of stuff.
(Although there were so many some of them could have failed to download)
Followed all the steps and after the reboot command all I got was the desktop.

correct.
It is in such an Alpha state, you will not get it working without integrated knowledge of the system.
People are working hard on this to get it working. If you want to use LinuxMCE use latest snapshot.
BongoWongo

Isn't it better to use 'apt-get upgrade' instead of 'apt-get dist-upgrade'? Isn't distr-upgrade used to upgrade K/Ubunto to next release? What is the benefit of running dist-upgrade?

= Features =
* The ZRW230 is a 6A, 230 VAC, 50 Hz, RF wall switch with 3-way capability. This wall switch can be controlled manually, with the [[ZTH200]] RF Remote Control, or the ACT multilevel auxiliary switch (AS200). These will turn loads ON and OFF up to and including 6A. The ON/OFF status will also be indicated by the state of its LED. The ZRW230 is a single paddle design which controls the connected load and serves as a transmitter using multiple button taps.
* Replaces the current wall switch, and can add 3-way capability.
* Each ZRW230 Wall Mounted Switch functions as an automatic repeater to other HomePro Modules to ensure full home coverage of the RF signal.
* Has automatic Static Update Controller (SUC) capability.

= Status =

= Introduction =
The ZWave API is not available for free. You have to get the Zensys SDK for command specifications and device class definitions. This page tries to collect all the freely available information about ZWave. The final goal is to provide a header file with all necessary definitions for basic operation with open source software.

IMPORTANT: all information added to this page _must_ have a reference to the source where it came from.

= API =
== Frame specification ==
Karl Denninger implemented basic ZWave support in his software "HomeDaemon". He advised that basic frame specification can be derived from his source code (http://www.denninger.net/homedaemon.htm).

== Basic Classes ==
From the Leviton Z-Wave RS232 ASCII Interface Programming Guide (RZC0P-1LW, 10/9/2007):
Controller 1
Static controller 2
Slave 3
Routing Slave 4
that leads us to some definitions:
#define OZA_BASIC_CLASS_CONTROLLER 0x01
#define OZA_BASIC_CLASS_STATIC_CONTROLLER 0x02
#define OZA_BASIC_CLASS_SLAVE 0x03
#define OZA_BASIC_CLASS_ROUTING_SLAVE 0x04

== Device Types ==
From the Z-Wave Configuration Information-1.pdf:
CONTROLLER 0x01 (like the ZTH200, Classes: )
SWITCH/APPLIANCE 0x10 (ZRP200, Classes: 25, 27, 75)
DIMMER 0x11 (ZDP200, ZDW230, .., Classes: 26, 27, 75, ...)
TRANSMITTER 0x12
THERMOSTAT 0x08
SHUTTER 0x09

== Command and Device classes ==
From the Electronic Solutions, Inc. DBMZ Advanced User manual:

The HSM100 when awake send a frame and stay awake for about 2.5 seconds to answer to request.
01 08 00 UU 00 03 02 84 07 CR
when this frame is received if we need to get the temperature we have to send
01 0C 00 13 UU 05 60 06 03 31 04 05 03
...and to get the light %
01 0C 00 13 UU 05 60 06 02 31 04 05 03
if there is a change in light level or temperature a frame will be answered by the HSM100
to indicate the temperature or / and the light level

Interesting string:

0x1 means it is a response

0x4 is the version
0x4 is the capabilities
LMCE will look for the next 4 bytes to get the list of devices. It seems to be a bit map. In this case, the first byte is 0x3 or in binary 00000011 so devices ID 1 and 2 are present. It is unclear to me why we only look at 4 bytes (32 zwave devices) while the protocol supports 232

NOTE: this is a (already fixed) bug in the old version of the closed pluto Z-Wave driver. The actual closed driver and the new open source driver (http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/trunk/src/ZWave) of course honor all 232 devices (29*8)

= Pluto Source Code =
The pluto project at one point in time included zwave control classes. The source code for these classes was published for some time at svn.plutohome.com. These classes are no longer published. However, substantial details of framing formats were derivable from that source code.

Some snippets that explain how to construct some interesting PDUs are the following (all snippets from code that was labelled GPLed at the top. Full interpretation of this code requires access to the z-wave SDK headers, which are labelled proprietary and thus are not included here):

* JobSwitchChangeLevel
setState(ZWaveJob::RUNNING);
size_t len = 9;
char data[9];
data[0] = REQUEST;
data[1] = FUNC_ID_ZW_SEND_DATA;
data[2] = (char)d->nodeID;
data[3] = DATA_LEN; // 3
data[4] = COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL;
data[5] = SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_SET;
data[6] = d->level;
data[7] = TRANSMIT_OPTION_ACK | TRANSMIT_OPTION_AUTO_ROUTE;
data[8] = 1;

* JobSwitchBinaryGet
setState(ZWaveJob::RUNNING);
size_t len = 8;
char data[8];
data[0] = REQUEST;
data[1] = FUNC_ID_ZW_SEND_DATA;
data[2] = (char)d->nodeID;
data[3] = DATA_LEN;
data[4] = COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL;
data[5] = SWITCH_BINARY_GET;
data[6] = TRANSMIT_OPTION_ACK | TRANSMIT_OPTION_AUTO_ROUTE;
data[7] = 2;
return handler()->sendData(data, len);

* JobSetLearnNodeState
char buffer[10];

buffer[0] = REQUEST;
buffer[1] = FUNC_ID_ZW_SET_LEARN_NODE_STATE;
buffer[2] = mode();
buffer[3] = 1; // Callback FunctionID
buffer[4] = 0;

setState(ZWaveJob::RUNNING);

d->failed = false;

return handler()->sendData(buffer, 3);

Z-Wave protocol Reset:

First command: /** */

01 08 00 03 01 02 01 01 21 D6

00 = request
03 = FUNC_ID_SERIAL_API_APPL_NODE_INFORMATION
01 = listening /** not moving */
02 = node generic type, GENERIC_TYPE_STATIC_CONTROLLER
01 = node specific type, SPECIFIC_TYPE_PORTABLE_REMOTE_CONTROLLER
01 = param length
21 = COMMAND_CLASS_CONTROLLER_REPLICATION

// wait for ACK
________________________________________________________________

Second command: /** Reset to factory default. */

01 04 00 42 01 B8

00 = request
42 = FUNC_ID_ZW_SET_DEFAULT
01 = Callback FunctionID

Answer:

06
01 04 00 42 01 B8

06 = ACK

01 = SOF
04 = Length
00 = Request
42 = FUNC_ID_ZW_SET_DEFAULT
01 = Callback FunctionID
B8 = checksum

=Framing=
Serial PDUs are framed with a simple framing protocol. Byte value 0x01 is start of frame, or SOF. The second octet is the length in bytes of the frame, excluding the SOF or the length octet. Assume that value was n for this frame. The next n - 1 octets are the framed payload. The last octet is a checksum computed by xoring a 0xff seed with all octets of the payload. The checksum includes the length field, but not the SOF byte or the checksum byte itself.

Each frame is acknowledged by the remote end with 0x06.

NOTE: if you look at an ascii table (man ascii) you see the following:
0x01 SOH (start of heading)
0x06 ACK (acknowledge)
0x15 NAK (negative ack.)
0x18 CAN (cancel)

This information is derived from the pluto source code, along with observation of the serial protocol from existing commercial software.

XORING description for the zwave (z-wave) checksum calculation
let s say you have the frame 01 08 00 04 00 0A 02 84 07 78
You will have to take
08 XOR 00 XOR 04 XOR 00 XOR 0A XOR 02 XOR 84 XOR 07= 87
NOT 87 => 78 So in that case your checksum will be 78

'Checksum code for c/c++
char checksum(char *buf, int len) {
int ret = 0xff;
for (int i=0;i<len;i++) ret ^= buf[i];
return ret;
}

'Checksum (XORING NOT) code for visual basic 2008 express
Public Function checksumZ(ByVal chaine As String) As String
Dim result As Integer
Dim resultS As String
Dim result2 As Integer
Dim result2s As String
resultS = Replace(chaine, " ", "")
chaine = resultS
resultS = Mid(chaine, 3, 2)
result = Val("&H" & resultS)
For i = 5 To (Len(chaine)) Step 2
result2s = (Mid(chaine, i, 2))
result2 = Val("&H" & result2s)
result = result Xor result2
Next
result = Not (result)
resultS = Hex(result)
checksumZ = Mid(resultS, Len(resultS) - 1, 2)
End Function

=Capturing your own sample transactions=
These notes are for Microsoft Windows. Linux should be easier.

Get a copy of Device Monitoring Studio. These instructions were written with version 5.11. Use an HA22 device or other serial or usb-to-serial Z-wave dongle. Monitor the serial port for an event. Add the "Request" view in DMS. Do your operations in the software that will interact with the HA22. No click on the "complete" tab in the request view. Right click and choose "export". Save the .htm file that results.

The resulting HTML is pretty verbose. Some simple regexps can pull out interesting details. That results in transcriptions like the ones you see below.
