Howto install and use Zwave
Let's assume that you have pluto installed with IP: 10.0.2.128 (these instructions are also done by assuming that you have "hybrid" pluto installation).
Once you have succesfully installed the ZWave USB controller and it is seen on Pluto, you can proceed by populating the ZWave network information to Pluto.
- Add your Zwave devices to your master Zwave master remote controller
- Once the devices are added to remote and verified they are working (you can control them with your remote controller), you need to copy the ZWave network information to Pluto.
- Go to pluto admin page (http://10.0.2.128/pluto-admin/), then choose "Wizard -> Devices -> Interfaces -> [your ZWave controller] -> Advanced".
- On the device page select "Send command to device".
- Select command "Download Configuration" and choose "Send Message".
- Leave the data and file fields as blank
- Now the pluto is waiting for the ZWave information and you should send a copy of the ZWave network with your master remote controller to pluto.
- If you are using HomePro remote controller this is done by selecting: "Setup -> Copy Remote Ctrl. -> Send Information -> Identical Copy". Once you have done that, the remote will show "Sending information..." and after succesfull sending it will return to clock screen (this shouldn't take more than couple of minutes).
- You can monitor the process by watching the Zwave log file on pluto (usually "/var/log/pluto/*ZWave.log"). Unfortunately the admin page doesn't give much information of what is being done and is everything going smoothly. If the process is successfull, you should see the pluto communicating with the USB controller
- Make sure the sending remote controller is near enough the USB receiver, othervise nothing will happen.
- Go to device tree (Show devices tree) and you should see the newly added ZWave modules/devices on the tree under "CORE -> ZWave".
You should do quick reload (Wizard -> Restart -> Quick Reload Router) in order to use the newly added devices with pluto. Once you'v done that, you should be able to control (like switching on/off) the devices under the Lights.
