I've been controlling my central heating system with a raspberry pi and zwave.me card since 2016. An overview of my system can be found at http://kershawkids.blogspot.com/p/about.html . I stopped working on my system about 3 years ago (I got a job as a developer for a home automation company thanks ...

I had lots of range issues in my house initially. I tried a couple of smart plugs which helped, but I had most success with dedicated repeaters from aeon. Z-Wave Aeotec Range Extender There is a newer version of this now but I have not tried it. Here is a description of the problems I encountered

Hi Ruffy, here is my approach. Not sure it is what you are actually looking for, but maybe it will help. I am using ESP32 based boards from Adafruit and Sweetpeas and TMP 36GT9 temperature sensors. These are configured as HTTP devices in the SmartHome UI. On the ESP32 side, I use the ESP8266WebServe...

Looking at the code in opt/z-way-server/automation/ZAutomationAPIProvider.js I would say it is related to the profile that you are using. If the user/profile has admin rights, then all devices are accessible. But if the user does not have admin rights then only devices allocated to a room are access...

@vkapadia While you wait for the z-uno board.. If you have wifi in your garage then you could use the same HC-SR04 distance sensor with a wifi arduino type board instead of a z-uno board. The circuit and code would be very similar but status reported over HTTP instead of via ZWave. From the SmartHom...

Not sure this is what you want. I don't have experience of it, but it looked quite useful from the reviews sections of amazon and vesternet. It is a universal sensor from Fibaro which has 2 binary sensors to detect open/closed circuits. Available quite cheaply in the UK, but not sure about USA. http...

My code was very similar, binding to a binarySwitch level though and I called omxplayer without the full path, which worked. I just tried your system call on its own and I didn't get sound. When I checked the log file ( /var/log/z-way-server.log the error was "This command is denied by policy&q...

Not sure this would be the best way, but I have just tried it and it worked on my pi. At the trigger point, you could do a system call such as this: system("omxplayer /opt/z-way-server/automation/siren.mp3"); On my pi, omxplayer was there by default but I do not know whether it is standard...

Thanks for your response PoltoS. I am still puzzled. According to alan his Aeon multisensors are both USB powered which I assumed would never sleep. In my case I am using mains powered switches. Both switches are failing the Request Node Neighbours Update when one switch is out of direct range of th...

The curl example pz1 directed you to was just to show you how to pass your 'username' and 'password' to the zway server. ZWayVDev_zway_6-0-37 is just a sample virtual device id. It looks like the authentication has worked, but ZWayVDev_zway_6-0-37 is not a device in your network which is why you are...
