Hi All,

Just new to the Z-wave and Razpberry. I really like the Razpberry device and all te available sensors. I'm busy studying the ZwaveAPI JSON interface, still a lot to learn.

I want to create a situation that when a door sensor status is changed some action is taken, for example an email send and a entry logged in a database. I assume I need to do my own programming, make an own application that runs 24/7 that is triggered by the sensors and then takes some actions.

Where to start with such an application? In the documentation I only find javascript/JSON code examples which can be used in web-pages. But the 24/7 application cannot be a web page.

The application needs to run on the Razpberry.

my questions:
- which programming language,
- example code available,
- (other).suggestikns on how to implement this.

Thanks for your support.

Cheers, Rene

You can use my software NexaHome, then you need not write all program code on your own.

Just create one small bean shell file that calls a script (written by you) when a sensor is triggered.

e.g.

You perhaps have a Fibaro door sensor...

Create a bean shell file.
/home/pi/nexahome/2.bsh

execFile("/home/pi/do_something.sh");
execParam("--door=2");
if (deviceIsOn("2")) {
  execParam("--status=open");
} else {
  execParam("--status=closed");
}
