I would like to know if it is possible to use the Razberry to communicate with Z-Wave products without using Z-Way.
Are there documentations available, and what Razberry actually does and what must be done by the developer?
Thank you,
Pierre.
Direct Razberry Access
Re: Direct Razberry Access
You will need a System Development Kit (3000Eur) from Zensys the Z-Wave inventor. You also need to sign an NDA with them. Pretty basic, pretty hard to do.
Alternatively, you may look into OpenZwave to see if that brings what you need.

I thought maybe the Razberry offers a different interface which is not relying on the Sigma specifications.
It is not clear to me where the NDS part starts and ends.
Z-Way as it seems is not very optimized nor solid, else it would not behave the way it does and people would not complain about those things.
I can see three options:
1. Use Z-Way C-API (but how much better will it be than using the UI, is the UI the culprit or Z-Way itself)
2. Use OpenZWave (which sadly uses a very restrictive license, it prevents static linking and so forth)
3. Use Serial Protocol to directly access the Razberry, but I wonder what about all its "special" features in its own firmware. How can I access it. Seems very time consuming to go this path.
Anyone got experience with any of these and can shed some light?
