Raspberry Pi

Post by dennes »

Hi,
Is there a Howto on getting the Z-Connector running on a Raspberry Pi with the Aeon Labs Z-Stick? Assuming this is possible..
Does anybody have this running?

Thanks,
Dennes

You may "z-wave me" run on the raspberry with a usb dongle brand "z-wave me"?

Thanks,

Nevermind, i got it working :-)
Was just missing argtable2.h headers.
Did a "sudo apt-get install libargtable2-dev" and after that it compiled on my Raspberry Pi. Now i have a fully functioning cloud-based controller for just € 25,- (and the Aeon Labs Z-Stick ofcourse). This really rocks!

Please share your success story with the world! ;)

If you have some manual on how to do it on Raspberry Pi, please share with other Z-Cloud users. Even if it is easy to compile, it might be a challange for some users. You can also share precompiled files to let others just plug & play. Unfortunatelly we have no time to compile Z-Connecto for all existing embedded boxes.

Please open a new thread with the description and we will move it to the official once done.

I have to reinstall my Pi anyway, so i'll recompile from scratch and document is as i go.
Will make a simple tutorial by the end of the week.

At any rate, thanks for the great program!
I've tried just about anything out there (DomotiGa, HomeGenie, OpenRemote, Open Zwave and serveral more obscure others) and yours is the only one that's a) extremely easy to get running (zagent compiles within 10 seconds on the Pi) and b) is very intuitive to setup through the cloud-based portal.

There's my compiled binaries of z-agent for Raspberry pi:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3702599/z-agent.zip

By the way z-agent works just fine for me :) . My Raspberry is B -model
with newest Wheezy prebuild image (2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian).
And my Aeon Labs Z-Stick Series 2 work without any installation/mod !

If binary has execution access you can start it with:
z-agent -d /dev/ttyUSB0 --cert=cert.pem --key=cert.key --cacert=cacert.pem -l z-agent.log -s z-cloud.zwave.me &

I have also regonized that z-connector random crashes, but shell loop to ensure that the server restarts. The reason I have not yet found here. I think crashes related somehow to webui... don't know yet for sure.

Is it a crash or it says Socket has gone and exits normaly?
May be your firewall is blocking connections after some time? Or your internet connection is not perfect and sometime packets get lost?
