EventGhost

Hello everyone,

This plugin is another plugin for connecting a Z-Way server (RaZberry) to EventGhost to control Z-WAVE devices.
The biggest difference to the other Z-Way plugin is, that this plugin is not using MQTT, but the webserver plugin for the communication.
It's also a little more intelligent than the other plugin.

it currently supports the following commandClasses:
37:SwitchBinary,
38:SwitchMultilevel,
48:SensorBinary,
49:SensorMultilevel,
50:Meter,
51:SwitchColor,
64:ThermostatMode,
67:ThermostatSetPoint,
91:CentralScene,
128:Battery

Feel free to test it!
Feedback is welcome!

Hi
I just tried to get this to work as I lost my mqtt settings again in the razberry update but I get this error when trying to connect:

13:46:37 Webserver - Z-Way ERROR: Host "Z-Way-Home" can't be added!(connection not possible)

this is on port 8083 (where I log onto the Z-wave smart home interfact)

Could you also explain the field in the setup - file that should be request....? ive just left this as /empty as I didnt know what is meant.


thanks

Phil

Hello Phil,

did you follow the screenshots I put into that folder for installing the plugin on Razberry side?
(copying the eg.js file and registering it in the HA interface) ?

did you restart the raspberry (or at least the z-way service) after the configuration?


The parameter on the plugin specifies the file that is requested on your EG webserver with post requests that come from the razberry plugin. (it has to request something)
This can be any file, but the smaler the better.
"/empty" may not exist in your webserver, if you remove the entry and leave it blank it will request the index, which should always work.
So if you are unsure, just write nothing in that box. (and remove what's in)
In my config I use a file called "empty" which is an empty file, I may have set this as default parameter, but intantionaly I wanted to leave it blank.

Hi
Sorry, completely missed those instruction files!
However, I seem to now be on a newer version than either 1 or 2 and the module section no longer is an option.
There is however an app section which looks like it could be interesting, maybe the z-way part could be turned into an app. For the moment it looks like I need to add the 'load custom javascript' app which allow me to add the script.

I'll have a play, thanks.

Hello Phil,
you're right, mine changed as well... (strange, last time I looked it was different)
Here is a screenshot!

New version!

Hi!
trying to make this plugin to work, but having the same problems that Phil had:

15:26:51 Webserver - Z-Way ERROR: Host "Z-Way1" can't be added!(connection not possible)

I think I've followed the instructions.

Program Version: 0.4.1.r1694

Regards Rickard

Hi Gus, which version of z-way are you using?
Can you send me some screenshots how you configured the add host action in eventghost and the js script on z-way side?
Thank you!

Thank's for your reply.

Settings in EG

I think I solved it!

I was fault trace with tcpdump on the RPI, and I saw that there was no incomming traffic.
So, back to EG, under Plugin Webserver, this settings needed to be checked:

12:15:34 Z-Way.Debug.Z-Way1 u"connected!"
12:15:34 Z-Way.Z-Way1 [u'SwitchMultilevel', [u'20', u'0', u'38'], 0, u'%']
12:15:34 Z-Way.Z-Way1 [u'SwitchMultilevel', [u'20', u'0', u'38'], 0, u'%']



Yey!!

Cool! Yes, that looks much better.
But I don't know why it didn't work without that checkbox, as it's not checked in my configuration...

Hi
Just updated my z-wave software and the load custom javascript file option has gone. There is now a load custom javascript code for z-wave application option which looks very different. Just had a quick look but havent yet figured how to get it going.
Would it maybe be worth submitting the code to the raZberry people to see if they would add it as an add in in its own right?
