Supporting the ACT Solutions ZCU201 USB Z-wave Interface

[yann]

hello,

i have followed the configuration steps that you wrote on linuxmce:

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ACT_Homepro_Motion_Detector

But i still can not make it work. How do you know that it is working or not ? (should i see somehting in the log or on the admin site ?)

if you can let me know

Thanks a lot

never got it to work with the original driver. But maybe I was too stupid. It works fine with my new driver (under active development). The new driver does no automatic configuration for now, so the steps are a bit different.

the svn driver should support both transfer modes (full/network only).

I know it should, but I just have worst of luck with the full transfer. Oh well.

ah, did not know you were using the svn driver.

Hi .. Hari, I got problem to transfer the configuration from the Home Pro Master Controller. I am using the ZCS201 Srial Z-Wave Interface.
Please help.

Hi, struggling with getting a ZCU201 USB interface up and running.
Plain 0710 on a AMD64 machine. I'm getting this in the log file (in an endless loop):

Any clues on how to get a response from this interface?

Not sure how this maps to ttyUSB0, though..

Any help appreciated

You could try to use the new zwave driver. But the ZCU101/201 is crap.

Ok, glad to get some straight talk
Which one seems to be the one to recommend these days?
I was looking at the Mi Casa Verde USB/inclusion controller.
How is your experience with it wrt LMCE?

I can recommend the Seluxit, full PNP. The tricklestar should work with manual tweaks. The MCV stick should work too, my unit is at the customs office, will report these days.

I know I'm draggin up an old thread - what are the low level issues mentioned in the wiki which reference this thread?
I jumped in and bought one last year but its been sitting idle since I got proof of concept going. When I get back to my system will the ZCU201 be headed for the bin?

thanks
Coley.

Hi all!

I have this old device ZCU201 and let to know where I can get Linux drivers for it? Can anybody provide me with this info?

Thanks in advance!

The only viable ZWave driver for LinuxMCE is the open one that is currently used - this may or may not work with the ZCU201. If you have a unit test it and let us know if it works.

All the best
