New Z-Wave driver

br, Hari

Hello Hari,

I have those errors when extracting the archive:

linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ sudo tar jxvf ZWave-0710-32bit-20090605.bz2
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I have made a lot of downloads with the same result :-(
Is the file ok on your side ?

tar: This does not look like a tar archive

Hi Philippe,

It is not a tar archive. All you need is to bunzip it (command is bunzip2 if I remember correctly).

Good luck,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I thought there was a problem because the input file did not have the same name as the previous version (ZWave-0710-32bit-20090605 instead ZWave).
So, I've use bunzip2 and have install this new version on my core.
I'll see if that corrects the problems that I described
previously (April 15)

Thank's for your help !

Hello Hari,

For me, the lastest ZWave driver (ZWave-0710-32bit-20090605.bz2) don't resolve the error I have    
after a few days of proper functioning.
The Seluxit viaSENS Homecontroller give me the same problem I have with my previous Tricklestar 300ZW-EU-W and ZWave-0.0.2-0710-32bit.bz2 driver.

What happens if you send the StatusReport command to your zwave device, from the web interface? It should softreset, and after that (wait about 10, 20 seconds!) the ZW_SEND commands should be properly delivered.

That being said, my network is still a bit sluggish now and then. It may take up to 10 seconds for a light to react. But at least I am now almost certain that commands are delivered.

Philippe, you may want to wait until Hari finishes this workaround. Right now, you would have to use the web interface every time that your interface does not accept commands anymore. Or you'd have to make a script of some sort, but my script will almost certainly not work in your situation (e.g., because your zwave stick has a different device number).

The StatusReport command works, but ZWave worked again this after-noon without intervention.
I thought the reset would be automatic with this new driver.
I did not translate correctly your exchanges.

Thank you for these details

Philippe

mark, did you use the merten tool to setup the network? 10 seconds is nearly the worst case scenario. You should be able to tweak links between devices and get sub-second times. Or is your mesh not dense enough?

best regards,

Thanks hari

I have now installed the new version and will report back what happens.

Yes I did.
I really should do a full network scan, and also see if I can adjust suboptimal connections. Can't say I have done the latter thing before, but I'll let you know what happens.
I'll report any interesting findings here.

[Domodude]

EDIT: just put a counter in my script -- I will give you an "exact" number in a day or two.

I had a nice count going on there, and after a few days I thought I would report back. Unfortunately I had forgotten to move this reset log AND the script out of the /tmp dir. Because of that, both the automatic softresets and my log had disappeared  

Enough confessions. I made another log containing about a day. As you can see, there is no real pattern. The delivery error pops up every couple of hours. From memory: sometimes even less than an hour after the previous occurance.

UPDATE: A long time ago, I went back to the MCV stick, after resetting it through the Vera. No problems since then.  It looks like my tricklestar was never fully hard-reset, but I cannot figure out how to hit it harder than with a hard-reset command through the web interface... So it's MCV until I can figure this one out.

Hi I am new to Zwave development.
For a prototype I was thinking to control a zwave device from my linux box.
I have few quick questions on your zwave driver

1. what USB dongle should I buy to use your zwave driver?

2. what zwave device should I buy to control it from your control point.

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Thanks
scott

Scott -

  Here's what I'm running right now (not much, but building):
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/User:Murdock#Z-Wave_Setup

  It's a good starting point for the controller plus a dimmer, my zwave setup was fully plug and play which is really nice.

  All zwave items are here:

Thanks Ryan
I have seen your setup instructions and it seems like I need to install kubuntu to install LinuxMCE. I have both Intel X86 Atom board and Arm board. I am not sure if I can put kubuntu on either of it.

If i attach MiCasa Verde USB Controller to X86 Atom board,
How can my app communicate to  controller? Is there anyway I can download Zwave controller on to my board.

What I was expecting is, there may be Zwave controller souce code which I can put on the board and it will do serial communication to usb dongle. please let me know if iam going in wrong direction.

Thank You
Scott

[hari]

you mean you want to run the Z-Wave driver outside of LinuxMCE, say like in the below listed example on Fedora?

Code:

[root@test bin]# more /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 10 (Cambridge)
[root@test bin]# ./ZWave -d 20
ZWave, open edition, v.0.2

I feel stupid:(.
I have Aeon Labs Z-Wave Interface with built-In Inclusion Remote (EU) and Everspring SP103 Z-Wave Motion Detector and cant get them to work. I paired them together, put Aeon into USB, core picked it up and Sarah video came up. I couldnt finisk the setup, so went to webadmin and there i could see 3 Zwave interfaces: 28 Zwave, 29 Zwave Embedded Climate Interface, 30 ZWave Embedded Security Interface. I manually added Motion detections ensor udner Security, but after i do quick reload of the Core, sensor disappers from the Security.
Next, i downloaded the new Zwave driver, "unziped it" and placed it in usr/pluto/bin/. After it the Zwave device could not start. I renamed it to Zwave, like the original file, but still the same. After putting back the original file all worked ok.
What am i doing wrong? Hoping for any help on this, i am close to pairing the motion detector with my IP camera.
