Quick question regarding Raspberry SD Card image

Post by Shazard »

Would it work.

Suppose I buy fresh new SD Card with 8GB and install default Raspberry Rasbian Image whichever is provided by Raspberry community.

Then I install Z-Wave.Me as it is here on site.

Configure SSH access to the raspberry.

And... start cloning this SD Card... will each clone work on different Raspberry Pies?

yes, except for remote access - they will all pretend to have same Z-Box ID.

I would suggest you to just take the full image from our website. It has remote access init code inside.

We will also release new image based on latest Raspbian soon

Mmm... what is Z-Box ID? Is it somehow generated when installiing software and cloning will not do so?

yes, it is generated on first boot and clonning will copy same ID.
It is for remote access via find.z-wave.me

Hmm I have missed something big? When did this appeared? And how do I use it and why should I use it? Is Doc updated somewhere?

This is a separate service. It is installed with RaZberry and comes on port 8084. It allows you to configure IP, restart Z-Way, update Z-Way and have remote access thru find.z-wave.me

Is there a way to keep the same Z-Box ID for find.z-wave.me if you have done a clean install?

Any way to regenerate the files for my old one as I liked having the low number? :-)

I'll back up the files for the one I have now though, thank you for the information.
