Hey guys, I've recently started using Premise and have an VRCOP with a bunch of HA14C intermatic dimmers. These dimmers, unlike the super-expensive Vizia RF+ devices, do not update their status automatically and require polling.
Is anyone using the recently posted Zwave device driver for Premise with non Vizia RF/RF+? If so, has anyone figured out how to poll these devices for status?
Without being able to obtain the status of the dimmers, the automation software is relatively useless to me
Unfortunately, I'm an html/php/perl/bash guy so I can't program C worth a damn. I have the source code to the dll if that helps.
For those without these devices but with the ability to help, every bound zwave device (node) is assigned an address (numerical 1 to 255).
The VRCOP/RZCOP serial device accepts ascii commands and requires a command such as ">?Nx" (x being the node number 1-255)
The response that is issued is also in ascii and would be "NxxxLzz" (xxx being the node 001-255 and zz being the level 0-99 (off to full bright))
One would then require the "brightness" element under home.room.whichlight.brightness to be updated accordingly.
Preferably this would be a bindable object as not all of the dimmers/switches require polling unless they're used in a schedule/scene/whatever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
