/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-163From what I’ve read, the best option to get Z-Wave operational is using the OS Open Z-Wave initiative, but how do I make this work in my Delphi based system?2012-04-28T07:06:04urn:comment:163/blog/building-a-z-wave-dot-net-client-in-3-minutes#comment-162Recently home automation and smart home products have become much more popular.

I've got the C version working but I prefer VB. 2012-01-08T10:26:48urn:comment:150/blog/heated-bed-project-part-1#comment-149Nico I did a lot with PICs back in University days - all ASM as wel - Loved them. I'm using a TI launchpad for this, since I have one lying around and need to make use of it. 2012-01-04T16:24:12urn:comment:149/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-148hernnando, Use the method; http://localhost:9087/Niviane/node/{NODEID} the state on/off will be reflected in the basic or level property it returns. 2012-01-04T09:41:38urn:comment:148/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-147hello Oliver, I'm trying to use your Web service for a personal application, and it works great! But I want to know how do you know the state of a node, example: on or off?? Thank you in advance2012-01-02T17:02:38urn:comment:147/blog/heated-bed-project-part-1#comment-146I am designing the same. I use a PIC 18F1320 microcontroller to do the job. it has 2 buttons for up-down temperature. A very low RDSon Mosfet is used to switch the bed on and off. The results are displayed on a 16x2 LCD. The prototype is almost done. Started with the PCB design (single layer)now. 2012-01-02T07:51:01urn:comment:146/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-145Leon I seem to remember a requirement of OpenZWave is that it requires the Visual C++ runtime. Could you try installing this. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=29 then seeing if it works. Guys, been remiss on this blog and Niviane for a while. Thanks for your feedback.2012-01-01T13:29:04urn:comment:145/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-144That only seems to work on a machine with Visual Studio installed, tried it on my Windows Homeserver (Server 2003) and I got the same message :( Oliver, any clue what causes this? Maybe something with the unsafe code the openzwavedotnet.dll uses?2011-12-31T15:58:38urn:comment:144/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-141Tom, I had the same problem with the msi download, but when I compiled the .Net solution myself, the msi file worked and started the service.2011-12-26T21:34:30urn:comment:141/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-135hello Oliver, good job!!! regards 2011-12-15T20:20:29urn:comment:135/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-133Hy, I'm also getting this error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'OpenZWaveDotNet.dll' or one of its dependencies.

I like what I see so far. Have you considered putting the code on GitHub or some other shared repository to promote open collaboration?2011-06-28T02:04:20urn:comment:114/blog/niviane-a-rest-json-interface-for-z-wave-home-automation#comment-113Very cool stuff Oliver. This is funny because I've been working on a Z-wave Restful WCF service for my home automation for the last 1 1/2 years. Im not using OZW though because of lack of features/maturity. Nice work though :)2011-06-21T01:09:35urn:comment:113/blog/building-a-z-wave-dot-net-client-in-3-minutes#comment-111Justin I have an Aeon Labs Z-Stick.

When you add a reference to the service, and instantiate it you'll see how easy it is to write your own code. I'll put up more details soon.2011-04-15T11:10:49urn:comment:103/blog/building-a-z-wave-dot-net-client-in-3-minutes#comment-102Great work, i want to play around with that as soon as i get some spare time :). It would be easiere if you just postet the code in text, since you dont really add any voice over on the video any way.2011-04-15T06:03:38urn:comment:102
