Yet Another Developer Blog

It seems that ZWay 1.4.1 got finally released ; well, at first sight it looks to be the same as the previous release candidate ("v1.4.1-rc1"). Therefore it was time to update my raspberry pi with this newer version. Hopefully this should now enable support for the ALARM command class. Nothing got broken in terms of recompiling my existing code. Good - but: It seems necessary to re-include/re-interview the ZWave devices. The data holder model for my binary sensor has changed! Previously, the "level" boolean value for my sensor was obtained using: zway_find_device_instance_cc_data(aZWay, 2, 0, COMMAND_CLASS_SENSOR_BINARY, "level"); Now there is no more data holder under this name. It is: zway_find_device_instance_cc_data(aZWay, 2, 0, COMMAND_CLASS_SENSOR_BINARY, " 1. level"); Not very clear why, but this works as before for me. But the good news is that no

According to the ZWay forums , the upcoming version of the ZWay RaZberry software (1.4.1?) will finally support the ZWave Alarm command class. Why is that interesting? Well, if you plan to use your RaZberry for a home security system, this command is kind of important: a ZWave device sensor sends this command when it gets tampered (e.g. when a door sensor gets detached from the door). And so far the Alarm command was not supported :-( As soon as it gets released in a final build, I will try that and give some feedback here!
