protocol description version 3.20 z-wave

[ckindt]

I'm looking for the published protocol so I can write a driver to use with the z-wave computer interface module.

Does anyone have a copy or can someone post a link to it please?
Thanks.

The Z-Wave protocol is only available for a fairly high price. They don't give it out.

I know. Do you have a copy?

If a secondary remote is good enough for you try this device.

Here is the RS232 Protocol for it

Thanks, it looks like it does the same thing I wanted out of the first device I listed - right?

I want to add a wireless technology to my HA system (I currently use UPB and programmed a basic co-pro to interface with the serial PIM and my central controller). Since I must write my own driver for another basic co-processor I need the protocol and the second link you posted is everything I need, albeit much easier than UPB - all ascii and no check sums... should be a cinch.

Yup, it does the same thing. I've never used it so if you get a good design for a driver and don't mind sharing the algorithm then let me know. I was thinking about writing some code for it on my own but have not taken the plunge to purchasing it yet.

I can share the UPB driver/algorithm if you care since that's already done and has been running flawlessly for a year now. It listens for activity -i.e. when a switch is pressed and sends light level status. It also accepts commands from my central controller and it also polls if enabled to do so at a fixed time (timer preset is determined by variable in central controller) interval just to make sure all registers are updated with the correct level values, esp. since some devices don't send level status own their own like the plug in modules.

As far as the Z-wave: I'm anxious to set up another driver mostly for the fun of it, but I'd also like to have a wireless platform too. I've considered the wireless x-10 to upb converter that wouldn't require any coding, but I've steered clear from x-10 when I went with UPB, so I'm still leary of this set up despite it's ease of integration in my current system architecture.

I'll probably end up with the Zwave serial interface and few nodes to get started with. I'd be glad to share any code when I get it running to my satisfaction.

Any ideas or comments are welcome. Thanks.
