node-openzwave

This is a node.js add-on which wraps the Open Z-Wave library to provide access to a Z-Wave network from JavaScript.

It is currently able to scan a Z-Wave network, report on connected devices, monitor the network for changes, and has rudimentary write support.

Install

$ npm install openzwave

API

Start by loading the addon and creating a new instance, specifying a path to the USB device:

var OZW = require('openzwave');
var zwave = new OZW('/dev/ttyUSB0');

An optional object can be passed at creation time to alter the behavior of the ZWave module. The options currently supported and their defaults are:

var zwave = new OZW('/dev/ttyUSB0', {
        logging: false,           // enable logging to OZW_Log.txt
        consoleoutput: false,     // copy logging to the console
        saveconfig: false,        // write an XML network layout
        driverattempts: 3,        // try this many times before giving up
});

The rest of the API is split into Functions and Events. Messages from the Z-Wave network are handled by EventEmitter, and you will need to listen for specific events to correctly map the network.

Functions

Connecting to the network:

zwave.connect();     // initialise and start a new driver.
zwave.disconnect();  // disconnect from the current connection

Modifying device state:

/*
 * Set a multi-level device to the specified level (between 0-99).
 */
zwave.setLevel(nodeid, level);

/*
 * Turn a binary switch on/off.
 */
zwave.switchOn(nodeid);
zwave.switchOff(nodeid);

/*
 * Set arbitrary values.
 */
zwave.setValue(nodeid, commandclass, index, value);

Writing to device metadata (stored on the device itself):

zwave.setLocation(nodeid, location);    // arbitrary location string
zwave.setName(nodeid, name);            // arbitrary name string

Polling a device for changes (not all devices require this):

zwave.enablePoll(nodeid, commandclass);
zwave.disablePoll(nodeid, commandclass);

Reset the controller. Calling hardReset will clear any associations, so use carefully:

zwave.hardReset();      // destructive! will wipe out all known configuration
zwave.softReset();      // non-destructive, just resets the chip

Events

The supported events are:

`.on('connected', function(){})`

We have connected to an OpenZWave node.

`.on('driver ready', function(homeid){})`

The OpenZWave driver has initialised and scanning has started. Returns a unique homeid which identifies this particular network.

`.on('driver failed', function(){})`

The OpenZWave driver failed to initialise.

`.on('node added', function(nodeid){})`

A new node has been found on the network. At this point you can allocate resources to hold information about this node.

`.on('value added', function(nodeid, commandclass, value){})`

A new value has been discovered. Values are associated with a particular node, and are the parts of the device you can monitor or control.

Values are split into command classes. The classes currently supported and their unique identifiers are:

COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY (37)
COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL (38)
COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION (134)

Binary switches can be controlled with .switchOn() and .switchOff().

Multi-level devices can be set with .setLevel().

The version class is informational only and cannot be controlled.

The value object differs between command classes, and contains all the useful information about values stored for the particular class.

`.on('value changed', function(nodeid, commandclass, value){})`

A value has changed. Use this to keep track of value state across the network. When values are first discovered, the module enables polling on those values so that we will receive change messages.

Prior to the 'node ready' event, there may be 'value changed' events even when no values were actually changed.

`.on('value removed', function(nodeid, commandclass, index){})`

A value has been removed. Use the index to calculate the offset where a command class can contain multiple values.

`.on('node ready', function(nodeid, nodeinfo){})`

A node is now ready for operation, and information about the node is available in the nodeinfo object:

nodeinfo.manufacturer
nodeinfo.product
nodeinfo.type
nodeinfo.loc (location, renamed to avoid location keyword).

`.on('scan complete', function(){})`

The initial network scan has finished.

Example

The test program below connects to a Z-Wave network, scans for all nodes and values, and prints out information about the network. It will then continue to scan for changes until the user hits ^C.

/*
 * OpenZWave test program.
 */

var OpenZWave = require('openzwave');

var zwave = new OpenZWave('/dev/ttyUSB0', {
	saveconfig: true,
});
var nodes = [];

zwave.on('driver ready', function(homeid) {
	console.log('scanning homeid=0x%s...', homeid.toString(16));
});

zwave.on('driver failed', function() {
	console.log('failed to start driver');
	zwave.disconnect();
	process.exit();
});

zwave.on('node added', function(nodeid) {
	nodes[nodeid] = {
		manufacturer: '',
		manufacturerid: '',
		product: '',
		producttype: '',
		productid: '',
		type: '',
		name: '',
		loc: '',
		classes: {},
		ready: false,
	};
});

zwave.on('value added', function(nodeid, comclass, value) {
	if (!nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass])
		nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass] = {};
	nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass][value.index] = value;
});

zwave.on('value changed', function(nodeid, comclass, value) {
	if (nodes[nodeid]['ready']) {
		console.log('node%d: changed: %d:%s:%s->%s', nodeid, comclass,
			    value['label'],
			    nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass][value.index]['value'],
			    value['value']);
	}
	nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass][value.index] = value;
});

zwave.on('value removed', function(nodeid, comclass, index) {
	if (nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass] &&
	    nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass][index])
		delete nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass][index];
});

zwave.on('node ready', function(nodeid, nodeinfo) {
	nodes[nodeid]['manufacturer'] = nodeinfo.manufacturer;
	nodes[nodeid]['manufacturerid'] = nodeinfo.manufacturerid;
	nodes[nodeid]['product'] = nodeinfo.product;
	nodes[nodeid]['producttype'] = nodeinfo.producttype;
	nodes[nodeid]['productid'] = nodeinfo.productid;
	nodes[nodeid]['type'] = nodeinfo.type;
	nodes[nodeid]['name'] = nodeinfo.name;
	nodes[nodeid]['loc'] = nodeinfo.loc;
	nodes[nodeid]['ready'] = true;
	console.log('node%d: %s, %s', nodeid,
		    nodeinfo.manufacturer ? nodeinfo.manufacturer
					  : 'id=' + nodeinfo.manufacturerid,
		    nodeinfo.product ? nodeinfo.product
				     : 'product=' + nodeinfo.productid +
				       ', type=' + nodeinfo.producttype);
	console.log('node%d: name="%s", type="%s", location="%s"', nodeid,
		    nodeinfo.name,
		    nodeinfo.type,
		    nodeinfo.loc);
	for (comclass in nodes[nodeid]['classes']) {
		switch (comclass) {
		case 0x25: // COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY
		case 0x26: // COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL
			zwave.enablePoll(nodeid, comclass);
			break;
		}
		var values = nodes[nodeid]['classes'][comclass];
		console.log('node%d: class %d', nodeid, comclass);
		for (idx in values)
			console.log('node%d:   %s=%s', nodeid, values[idx]['label'], values[idx]['value']);
	}
});

zwave.on('notification', function(nodeid, notif) {
	switch (notif) {
	case 0:
		console.log('node%d: message complete', nodeid);
		break;
	case 1:
		console.log('node%d: timeout', nodeid);
		break;
	case 2:
		console.log('node%d: nop', nodeid);
		break;
	case 3:
		console.log('node%d: node awake', nodeid);
		break;
	case 4:
		console.log('node%d: node sleep', nodeid);
		break;
	case 5:
		console.log('node%d: node dead', nodeid);
		break;
	case 6:
		console.log('node%d: node alive', nodeid);
		break;
        }
});

zwave.on('scan complete', function() {
	console.log('scan complete, hit ^C to finish.');
});

zwave.connect();

process.on('SIGINT', function() {
	console.log('disconnecting...');
	zwave.disconnect();
	process.exit();
});
