Article on Z-Wave programming in C#

Post by Chiwauwa »

Hi,

I've written a small introduction to Z-Wave programming in C# to the Danish Z-Wave community. It is now translated to English in order to allow more people to read it.
Please check it out at the following page if you would like to get a very basic introduction to switching Z-Wave devices on and off with a Z-Wave USB stick in C#.

More, more! [8D]

For me the biggest issue with Z-Wave is that the protocol is not open. IMO that really s***s. That's why i still haven't purchased anything with Z-Wave in it. Every bit of knowledge has to be acquired by reverse engineering or small pieces found on the internet, reverse-engineered by others.

Well never mind my personal opinion and keep up the good work [:)]

Agree.
This one is based on the SDK from controlthink VB and C# SDK

The only one who open up a bit

Hi,

The next article about Z-Wave programming in C# is now ready. The article is about the implementation of some basic elements in the Z-Wave protocol.

As usual ... please write a comment if you like/dislike something or want me to focus on something in the next articles. I hope that some of you find it useful.

Best regards,

Article: The Z-Wave protocol in C# - Part 3

Post by Chiwauwa »

Hi,

A new article about Z-Wave and C# programming is now available. The message handling is being improved and a Dimmer is added to the device classes.

digiwave.dk/en/programming/the-z-wave-p ... rp-part-3/

In the next article the implementation will be developed in order to enable automatic discovery of the devices in the Z-Wave network and to create device objects accordingly.

Please let me know if you want me to focus on something specific in the next articles.

Best regards,
Henrik
