I was going to order a z-wave relay wall module and a z-wave light switch just to tear it apart and try to hack it. I want to learn how they work inside and out. My main goal was going to be if i could get it to run off of battery power instead of 110Vac.
If i can do this then my next hack would be to see if i can turn it into a timer by adding some sort of timer circuit to it. If i could do this then i could add it to my keyless touchpad and use the z-wave remote to lock and unlock my front door.
If anyone has an extra z-wave laying around could you take pictures of its insides and maybe document the circuit. I am wondering if it converts the AC to DC and if it does how much dc does it convert it to.
If anyone knows where i can find documentation letting me know if this is possible please provide it so that i dont waste $40 on a module i dont really need except if i were going to hack it.
