Howto install and use Zwave
Let's assume that you have pluto installed with these settings: IP: 10.0.2.128
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.
- 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
- Go to device tree (Show devices tree) and you should see the newly added ZWave modules/devices on the tree under ZWave.
