asterism-plugin-zwave

This asterism plugin will add z-wave support to control Z-wave compatible devices

Roadmap available here (asterism and plugins)

INSTALL PREREQUISITES

You need to install version 1.6 version of OpenZWave/open-zwave. As this specific version is the only one tested with asterism, I tagged a version on my fork of of official repository, named 'V1.6 used for asterism-plugin-zwave ^v1.0.3'.

You need to run these commands:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/gxapplications/open-zwave
cd open-zwave
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libopenzwave.so /usr/local/lib/libopenzwave.so
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libopenzwave.so /usr/local/lib/libopenzwave.so.1.6
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libopenzwave.so /usr/lib/libopenzwave.so
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libopenzwave.so /usr/lib/libopenzwave.so.1.6

After that you can remove ~/open-zwave folder.

Scenarii plugin (an asterism standard built-in plugin) must be activated (true by default). Then you'll be able to install asterism (see asterism install guide).

TESTED & COMPATIBLE DEVICES

I add devices when I buy them, so there is the list of devices I managed today:

• Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 (but other USB Z-wave keys should work to control your network...)
• Fibaro Door Opening Sensor 2 (FGDW-002) for door sensor, temperature and burglar alarms
• Fibaro Wall Plug (FGWPE-102 ZW5) with full features support (on/off, color ring, advanced configuration)
• Fibaro RGBW module support (for controlling LEDs only, not input connectors)
• Hank 4 buttons Wall controller (HKZW-SCN04) through central scene support: allowing 8 actions
• Standard binary switches SHOULD work too (for on/off feature only) on most models.

If you want more devices, you have choice:

• Propose your support in a GitHub pull request, we can work together.
• Send the device to me as a gift :) I will make it compatible as soon as possible.

Troubleshooting about USB Autosuspend mode

Some systmes activates Autosuspend mode on USB devices. This mode will freeze some Z-wave controllers after few seconds. You need to deactivate Autosuspend mode for your USB controller key. It depends on your operating system. For Ubuntu 14 lsusb will display your controller ID (format 1234:5678) and thenyou can blacklist your device ID in file /etc/default/tlp at the USB_BLACKLIST option.
