i think i figure out how to control this demonic thing :-p

after i add my device with the usual way... i do a SetAssociation with the Static Controller... and the data starts to flow to my serial port :-)

my developing is based on a AVR32 microcontroller so i dont know if my code is so usefull, but when my functions will be ready i will post them to tell me your thoughts :-)
thank you very much

i will be in touch, great work!

regards, Kostas

To download the source code it must be written first :-) I just want to control a PIR , a door windows and some binary switches for an alarm system i am developing.

I cant manage to work with battery powered devices...

if i understand you correctly, i will setup a wake-up interal for a sensor.... lets say... 5 mins.... and then every 5 mins the sensor will wake up... send me a signal.. and i will have some time? to send whatever command i want before it goes to sleep again?

but what about if a thief enters my house.. the sensor will wait for wake up time and then send me the event??

because whatever i do to the Door/window sensor for example... its not sending me anything only if i press the switch behind.

Is there anything like ALARM mode i must set the sensor to send me events in realtime??

thank you for your time!

Hello guys,
i am trying to understand some basic things about z-wave devices from the source code (zwaveapi.h and zwaveapi.cpp).

I have a ZCS201 controller, a PIR ZIR010 binary sensor and a EVERSPRING SM103 door/window sensor bought from our friend from this forum :-)

My issue is , i cant fully understand how these sensors work, i can add them using 01 04 00 4a 01 b0   start ADD command .. follow all the process till the end of ADD mode... but then.. they seem like dead...

they go to sleep and whatever i send never wake up..

I just only to warn me when the door is open or there is movement in my room....  send me an event...


do i need to send some commands to wake them up?  is there a special command to put them in ALARM mode?

what is the process i must follow to have some events from these sensors? i am confused!

hope you can give me some clues to continue my search on the Z-Wave world... :-)

thank you very much!

Regards
