Communicate with the Z-Wave ZP200

[beatboxer05]

Hello,

I bought an aeon labs Z-stick and a ZDP200 Lightmodule.
I included the ZDP200 within my Z-wave network
Now I am trying to communicate with the ZP200 thru a terminal application.
On the website http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ZWave_API i found these commands.

Switching on a ZDP200 lamp plug from the Orbiter:

0x1 0xa 0x0 0x13 0x1 0x3 0x26 0x1 0x63 0x5 0x6 0xa3 (#\n#####c###) <0xb68f3b90>

0x6 0x1 0x4 0x1 0x13 0x1 0xe8 (#######) <0xb70f4b90>

0x1 0x5 0x0 0x13 0x6 0x0 0xef (#######) <0xb70f4b90>

When I sent these commands nothing happend. Could somebody tell me the right way to send these commands, so i can communicate directly whith my ZDP200 module.

Kind regards.

You should open the serial port at 115200 8N1
And sent the characters as hex.

The first row it the command string to set module with Node 1 (the second 0x1) as address to level 0x63 (range is 0x0 to 0xff)
The first 0x1 is a SOF char (start of frame), the 0xa means 10 bytes are following, the last one (0xa3) is the checksum. So if you change something in between you have to recalculate that one, how you can find on the page you are refering too.

You should get 0x6 back from the controller (which is an ACK), you can see it on the second line. After you received it, you should sent an ACK to the controller too.

Do you get nothing back?

What app are you planning to use for controlling this?

I'm almost ready to release DomotiGa 0.0.171 with <b>very basic Z-Wave support</b>.
I'm using an AEON stick myself.

You can try to download and test with the trial version of Homeseer's ZTool to check if that hardware works together, but it's windows based. [8D]
