Version 2/ Z-Wave Cert No: ZC10-14110009
Super Quick Start for Insiders
-
Create a SD card using the image from the link
http://razberry.z-wave.me/z-way-server/razberry.img.zip -
Go to find.zwave.me, find the IP address of your Pi, click on it
-
Setup your password and remember your RaZberry ID for future remote access
-
Choose http://YOURPI_IP.8083 or use find.zwave.me for remote access to your Smart Home Interface.
Quick Start for the rest of us
RaZberry is a Z-Wave controller for your Smart Home. A built-in web server
allows fast installation and usage without installing further software or
apps. Of course there are apps for various mobile platforms that can be
downloaded from the various app stores that further enhance the user
experience of the solution.
To use the RaZberry solution you need the following parts:
- A Raspberry Pi microcomputer. If you don’t have it please refer to raspberry.org for sources to buy from
- A SD Card with a minimum size of 4GB
- Power supply and Ethernet cable
- The RaZberry add on module
First prepare your SD Card. Download the complete image including Z-Wave
control software and various other tools from the link given in the super
quick start section. To prepare the SD Card please refer to the guidance on
raspberry.org. Install the SD card into the Raspberry
Pi and power it up. After about 1 minute open a web browser and point to
find.zwave.me
Below the login screen you will see the IP address of your RaZberry system.
Click on the IP address link to open the configuration dialog.
The Configuration Service
The configuration service is accessible with any web browser on Port 8084.
Whenever you want to change settings this service will be at your service and
is available independent of the Z-Wave engine.
- Find your RaZberry ID and remember it for remote access to your system.
- Choose a password that will be used to authenticate for the remote access in the future. Whenever you access your RaZberry within your local network (as the first time) you will not need a password.
The Configuration service uses the cloud infrastructure on find.zwave.me for the following functions:
- Find the IP Address of your RaZberry. You just used this function.
- Remote Access when you are outside your home. For this a valid password is required – see above.
- Firmware Update: Just click on the firmware update tab and follow the instructions
- Remote Support: This function is usually disabled. You will need to enable it on request if you desire remote service. Allowing service people to access your RaZberry is 100% under your control.
Once you set your remote access password you are done with the initial
configuration. 
Whenever you access find.zwave.me again and a local RaZberry is found clicking
on the IP address will lead you right to your Smart Home User Interface. If
your Pi uses a fixed IP address this address can be used for direct IP access
without using the find.zwave.me service. You can even turn off the connection
to the find.zwave.me service but be aware that you will not have any remote
access capability anymore. Also in case the IP address of your RaZberry
changes you may have difficulty to find the new address. Hence we recommend
using find.zwave.me. The same time we want you to have 100 % control of any
cloud service usage of your system.
Z-Wave Product Information
This is a Z-Wave static controller. As a certified Z-Wave Plus device RaZberry
communicating with all other Z-Wave certified devices regardless of vendor or
year of origin and it implements the enhanced functions of Z-Wave Plus.
This device can communicate in a secure environment if the other device
supports the secure environment too. If not the controller will fall back to
the normal communication mode automatically. During inclusion the use of
secure environment can be suppressed for performance reason if desired. In
Z-Wave all non-battery powered device such as the RaZberry will act as routers
for other devices to form a so-called meshed network.
In case there is more than one controller in the network the controllers need
to be kept synchronous in regard to their knowledge of the network. This is
called Controller Replication and the following policy applies: (a) in case
there is a SIS in the network (check in Controller Info menu) every other
controllers will query the SIS for updates. (b) In the rare case that there is
no SIS and this device is Primary Controller please re-include other
controllers to perform a network information update.
The device supports the command classes ‘SwitchMultilevel’, ‘SwitchBinary’ and
‘Basic’ to catch events from devices using these command classes to trigger
actions in the controller. There is no other action performed than changing
values in the device data objects.
The device supports lifeline (association group 1, max 3 nodes) and 16
channels (simulating a generic Multilevel Switch) to differentiate receiving
commands from devices not able to send modern scene control commands. The
channels support the same command classes (Basic, SwitchBinary,
SwitchMultilevel and Scene Activation) that do not perform any real action but
allow command reception only.
Various User Interfaces of RaZberry
When going to http://YOURIP.8083 you will see a selection menu to choose the
web based UI you like to work with. The two most interesting UIs are the
Z-Wave Expert UI (to create and manage the Z-Wave Network) and the Z-Way Home
Automation user interface for day-by-day usage of the whole system. Above and
beyond this you can use various mobile platform native apps you find in the
app stores to access the system.
Just visit the Google App store or the iOS app store for native apps with the
name “Z-Way”.
The Z-Wave Expert UI
The Z-Wave Expert User Interface is designed for installers, technically savvy people and other users that know how to built and maintain a Z-Wave based wireless network. Hence it uses some Z-Wave specific language and offers detailed insight into the work and data structure if the Z-Wave network. It allows to
- Add (include) and remove (exclude) Z-Wave devices and manage the network.
- Configure Z-Wave devices.
- Operate Z-Wave devices.
- Manage Associations between wireless devices.
- Access all data generated by the devices and perform all kind of functions and actions to the device.
- Look behind the scene into the data structures, routing mechanisms and timings of the Z-Wave control stack.
This is particularly useful for debugging and software development.
The Z-Wave Expert UI does not provide any access to higher order business
logic and automation. Please refer to other User Interfaces for these
functions.
The UI offers a home screen and four top menu items:
- Control: Access to functions of the wireless devices included in the network.
- Device: Access to information about devices.
- Configuration: Configure the devices after inclusion if needed.
- Network: Add and remove devices and manage the network.
The top level also has a language selector. Please we aware that this
selection is only valid for the Expert UI and will not be used by other web
based or app based UIs. The timing info on the upper right side shows the time
on the controller device. Its update serves as a heart beat to the system.
All values shown in the Z-Wave Expert UI are assigned to a time stamp
indicating when the value of status information was received from the wireless
network. A red color of the time stamp indicates that and update request from
the controller for this value is pending.
Home Screen
The home screen offers some high level information about the software and a
notepad where the user or installer can leave important information for future
use. 
The Network Information box offers some
statistics about the number of devices in the network and how many of them are
mains or battery operated. The network health box will list devices that have
problems: the battery is down, the interview is not complete or the device
failed. Clicking on the statement will lead to a help page explaining the
problems and giving guidance for remediation.
Control
The Control Tab allows operating the various types of devices and shows the
reported values in case of sensors or meters.
In case the control options offered here are not sufficient please refer to
the Expert Command Tab as part of the Configuration menu for a full set of
functions supported by the device.
Switch
The switch dialog lists all devices of the network supporting switching,
dimmer or motor control capabilities. The device name and Id and the current
status of the switch is given and the time of the last status update. The
“Update” button forces an immediate update of the switch (if mains powered
device). A ‘Switch All’ Icon shows whether or not the specific device will
react on a Switch All ON or Switch All Off command. A green triangle indicates
that the device will react to the command shown.
All actuators can be switched on or off. Dimmer and motors controls can be operated using a slider. For dimmer there is a button “On” and “Full”. “Full” turns the dimmer always to 100 % diming value while “On” will turn to the last dimming state before the dimmer was turned off. Clicking on the table heads reorders the table view of the data.
Sensors
The sensor dialog lists all devices of the network providing sensor
information. Device name and id, the type of the sensor, the actual sensor
value and the sensor scale is listed. The Date/time column indicates when the
given sensor value was received. It’s possible to call for a sensor update
but bear in mind that battery operated device will only respond after the next
wakeup.
Meters
The meter dialog lists all devices of the network providing (accumulating)
meter information. Device name and id, the type of the meter, the actual meter
value and the meter scale is listed. The Date/time column indicates when the
given sensor value was received. It’s possible to call for a meter update but
bear in mind that battery operated device will only respond after the next
wakeup. Clicking on the table heads reorders the table view of the
data.
Thermostats
The thermostat dialog lists all thermostat devices of the network. Device
name and id and the current set point temperature is shown. The Date/time
column indicates when the given set point temperature was transferred to the
device. The set point temperature can be changed using the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ buttons
or the slider. Clicking on the table heads reorders the table view of the
data.
Attention: The temperature value does not differentiate between heating and
cooling devices. If a cooling and a heating function shall have different set
points please refer to the expert command section for more precise command
settings.
Door Locks
The door lock dialog lists all door lock
devices of the network. Device name and id, the current status of the lock and
last time of the change of the status is listed. Clicking on the table heads
reorders the table view of the data.
Device
The Device Tab gives access to overview pages with more detailed
information about the devices in the network and their actual status.
Status:
This dialog shows the actual network status of all devices. All devices are
listed by their node id and name. The date/time indicates the time of the last
successful communications between the controller and this device (either
confirmed sending or reception). The green checkmark indicates that the
device is alive. A red sign indicates that the controller assumes the device
not being active anymore. Mains powered devices can be checked for their
network availability by hitting the “Check connectivity” button.
In case the device interview and configuration was not performed properly a
little question mark icon will indicate this.
Clicking on the question mark will open a window displaying the details of the
interview process.
The correct loading of a Device Description File is indicated as well. For
battery-operated device the time of the last wakeup, the time of the next
wakeup and the current wakeup status is shown. Clicking on the table heads
reorders the table view of the data. Clicking on the table heads reorders the
table view of the data.
Battery
This dialog gives an overview of the battery status of the battery-operated
devices in the network. Devices are listed by name and id. The last reported
battery level (0…100 %) including update time is shown as well as the number
and type of battery if known. The “Update” button will request a status
update from the device. The new status will be available after the next wakeup
of the device. Clicking on the table heads reorders the table view of the
data. 
Type Info
The type info dialog lists all devices of the
network and indicates if they support enhanced Z-Wave functions such as
Security and Z-Wave Plus. Their Z-Wave protocol version, their application
version and their device type indicator is shown
for information purposes too. Clicking on the table heads reorders the table
view of the data.
Association
This overview page shows the current association set in the network. The
lifelines (association to the gateway to report status changes and heard beat)
can be hidden if needed. A ‚Change’ button leads right to the Configuration
page of the device to change association settings.
Configuration
The Configuration Tab allows configuring the functions of the device. Pick the
device to be configured from the drop down list to access four tabs.
Interview 
The device interview section shows the result of the device interview. In this
process the controller tries to get information about the device. In case the
controller find a device description record for the device it will display
further information about the device that can not be obtained from the device
itself. If the software will not automatically recognize the device and load
the description record a button “Choose Device Description Record” allows to
do this manually.
The interview stage line gives information about the progress of the device
interview by splitting it into the different command classes supported by the
device. ‘+’ indicate a successful interview, ‘0’ a permanent fail and a ‘.’
that this command class is still in the waiting queue to be completed.
There are a few reasons why an interview is not complete: In most cases the
devices went to deep sleep too early to have some problems. The button “Force
Interview” allows re-doing the whole interview. The button “Request NIF”
requests a Node Information Frame from the device and the Button “Show
interview results” allows displaying the information about the different
command classes found during the interview. It is also possible to force the
interview of a certain command class only.
The only configuration option on this tab is to change the given name of the device. During inclusion the software generated a generic name but it is highly recommended to change this name. The given name should be descriptive bit not too long.
Configuration
The configuration tab allows configuring the device.
There are four more command classes that may need additional configuration work and that are displayed if the certain device supports it. The actual data of the different sections are shown in the UI and can be updated using the button “Update from device” A time indication shows when the time where the values where received from the device (Beware, that an update may be delayed if the device if battery operated an in deep sleep state)
-
Wakeup: Define the wakeup interval and the node is of the main controller taking care of the wakeup sequence.
The controller will set a standard wakeup time of 1800 seconds unless the devices sets a different minimal or maximal wakeup time. In most cases the node id of the controller is the correct setting for the target node id and should not be changed. In case this controller is only secondary controller this value may change. A tool tip on the input field shows the allowed minimum and maximum wakeup time as reported by the device. -
Protection: In case the device supports local protection – means suppressing local use of the device – the behavior of this function can be defined. The protection command class actually offers more options than displayed here, Refer to the ‘Expert Commands’ tab for a complete set of controls.
-
Switch All configuration: Z-Wave supports the so called switch all function as a broadcast to all switches and dimmers. This setup defines the reaction of the device to such a “Switch All” command. The setting is also displayed in the “Switches“ section as little gray/green icon.
-
Configuration: In case the controller can identify the device and finds information about further configuration options these options are shown. The little (i) symbol may give more descriptive information about the configuration value. If no device description of the device is found no configuration options are shown. In case the device does have configuration options it’s possible to set them using the expert command section.
Note: For mains powered devices and FLIRS device the button “Apply
configuration to device” will activate the changes within few seconds. For
battery operated devices the commands are stored to the next wakeup. It’s
possible and recommended to wake up the device manually to speed up the
change of configuration values.
Association
Associations allow switching a Z-Wave device B (target) as a result of an
event in Z-Wave device A (source). Z-Wave devices offer lists of devices to
switches for each event supported. The list of these events – also called
association groups – and the devices that are associated with it are shown in
the Association tab. In case the information is provided either by the device
or by the device record stored in the software the meaning of the events is
written. Otherwise only event group is shown unnamed. In this case refer to
the devices manual for more information about the association group meaning.
The stored devices can be called from the actual device using a button. The
buttons ’+/-’ used to add and remove device from the group. A dialog is opened
and a device can be picked. In case this device has multiple instances an
instance drop down list will appear allowing to choose the right instance of
the target device. The node ID and – if applicable – the instance id are shown
in the target device list. Move the mouse over the ID to show the complete
given name of this device. 
Expert Commands
The expert command section displays the status values and possible commands in
a very generic way. On the left hand side the different channels of the device
are listed in a column. In case there is only one channel (that’s the case for
most devices) only channel 0 is shown. Clicking on the number opens a dialog
showing all internal variables for the channel. The next column shows all the
command classes exposed by the device. Again clicking on the name opens a
dialog with more internal status variable information for this command class.
On the right hand side there is a list of commands. This UI is auto-generated
from the information provided by the command class itself and not optimized
for daily usage.
Firmware Update
In case the device supports a firmware update ‘over the air’ this dialog is
shown to perform such a firmware update. The firmware can be provided in two
ways: either as URL in the format http://IP.PORT/file or as file upload
using the file upload dialog. The firmware file must be available in raw
‘BIN’ format or ‘HEX’ format. The target field allows specifying the target
memory/processor for the update process. For updating the Z-Wave firmware part
a ‘0’ must be set. The firmware updating process will take up to 10 minutes.
Please don’t do any other operation during this time.
It may be required to activate the firmware update mode on the device to be
updated. Please refer to the manual for further information about
activation.
Network
The Network section of the UI focuses on the network as such and offers all controls and information to build, manage and repair the wireless network of the controller.
Control
The network control summarizes all commands needed to manage the network
and the controller. The page is structured in four boxes.
The device management box allows including and excluding Z-Wave devices. A
status display shows the status of the controller. The “Include Device” resp.
“Exclude Device” button turn the controller into the Inclusion resp. Exclusion
mode.
In this case the status display changes and the resp. buttons turns into a
“Stop” function. The inclusion and exclusion modes will time out after about
20 seconds but can always be terminated using the “Stop” buttons.
Another way to stop the inclusion mode is to actually include a new device. In
this case the inclusion mode will stop and the node id of the new device is
shown. The controller generated a default name of the device as combination of
its primary function and the new node id. Clicking on this default name leads
to the Configuration page where the name can be changed and other
configuration tasks can be performed. 
Please refer to the devices manual on how to do an inclusion. In case the
inclusion does not work as expected, please exclude the device first. More
than 90 % of all inclusion problems are caused by still included in a
different network and can then not being included again.
The Exclusion mode also stops when one device was successfully excluded. This
function can exclude devices from other networks too but the device need be
available and functioning. To remove malfunctioning or disappeared devices
please refer to “Replace Failed node” or Remove Failed node”.
In case the new device supports enhanced security function (Security Command
Class) this controller will include the device securely. After this all data
exchange between the controller and the new device is encrypted using AES
encryption.
For performance reasons it mays be desired not to use the security function.
The slider “Force unsecure inclusion” turns the controller into a mode where
all security functions are suppressed for the included device. Security
functions of other devices are not impacted.
The second box of the page allows creating and using a backup. The backup file
is stored on the local computer. Please note that any restore will overwrite
the existing network. The restore operation must therefore be confirmed in
another message box. A checkbox defines if the node information in the z-wave
chip itself shall be overwritten as well. This operation result in a possible
loss of all network relationships and may require a re-inclusion of devices.
Handle with care.
The controller maintenance offers two reset buttons. The “Z-Wave Chip Reboot”
restarts the operating system of the ZWave transceiver chip. This can be done
safely all the time.
The “Reset Controller” turns the controller back into factory reset. All
connections to included devices and all configurations and settings are lost.
This function must be handles with extreme case. An additional dialog requires
to explicitly confirm the function. Only use this function if you know what
you do!
The function Remove Failed Node allows removing a node that is no longer
communicating with the controller. After multiple failed communications with a
device the controller will mark this device as failed and avoid further
communication. This function finally removes such a device from the network
configuration. The drop down list will only show IDs of failed nodes. If this
list is empty this is a good sign!
It is also possible to Replace a Failed node with a new node. This is a
combination of removing the failed node and adding a new node. Using this
function makes sure the next included node has the same node ID as the failed
node. The drop down list will only show IDs of failed nodes. If this list is
empty this is a good sign!
Battery operated devices are mainly in deep-sleep state and will not answer to
communication requests. Hence the controller will never automatically detect
if a certain device is defect or gone. The function “Mark battery device as
failed” manually marks battery-operated devices as failed so that they can be
removed or replaces. The dropdown list shows all battery operated devices but
this does not mean that they are failed.
The next two functions deal with the controller role in the network. With
”Learn” this controller can become a secondary controller in another network.
This is only possible if this controller did not include any other device
before. Clicking the “Learn” button turns the controller in a function where
it will accept inclusion requests from other controllers. The controller
status dialog on the upper left hand side shows this status. The Learn mode
will time out after about 20 seconds or when the device was included
successfully. It is also possible to manually terminate the mode.
The “Change Controller” function actively hands over the role of the primary
controller of the network to a controller that will be included using the
normal inclusion process. The controller status dialog shows the mode and its
termination.
The “Request NIF from all devices” function is just a convenient way to
retrieve a Node Information Frame from all devices of the network.
The frequency change buttons allow changing the operating frequency of
RaZberry. Handle with care! Changing the frequency may result in malfunction
of your network. If you are uncertain about the consequences of this change,
don’t touch the buttons! The RaZberry hardware can be changed into every valid
frequency however the antenna filter used with Z-Wave transceivers will
attenuate the wireless signal for wrong frequencies. At the moment there are
three different types of antenna filters allowing operation in the three
frequency groups. Changing the frequency within the line (e.g. from EU to CN)
will not result in attenuation of the signal but will stop any communication
in a network already established. Changing between the lines will not only
result in communication problems with existing included devices but also
result is severe attenuation of the wireless signal. It may still be useful to
change frequencies for debugging purposes but again: Handle with care!
Routing 
This table shows the neighborhood
relationship of devices. The id, the name and the type of the node are listed.
Dark green indicates that the two devices are in direct wireless neighborhoods
and don’t need any other device to forward their signals. A Light green
connection needs one router between. Yellow color indicates that the
communication route is just ok. This can be achieved by longer but multiple
routes. A red color between two nodes indicated an insufficient communication
link. A little black dot in the colored field indicates that the current
configuration of the network requires these two nodes to communicate with each
other due to an association relationship. The ‘Update’ button calls the device
to scan its neighborhood and report back the result to update its own line of
the routing table.
Reorganization
The reorganization page controls an algorithm that reorganizes the network
relationships and fixes problems. With checkboxes different stages of the
algorithm can be selected. The result of the reorganization is shown in a log
and can be downloaded. 
Timing Info
The Timing tab shows some very valuable timing information of communications
between the controller and other devices. All other devices the controller has
communicated with are shown in a list. The number of packets and the
percentage of successful communication are shown. This can give an indication
about the stability of the communication
link between the controller and this device. On the right hand side the timing delay of each communication is shown and color-coded. A red number indicates that this communication finally failed. A communication without rerouting attempts as shown as green and a rerouting attempt is coded in black. The fact that a communication failed (red) may indicate that there is a severe problem in the network or in the device. It is however also possible that a battery operated device just went back to sleep too fast. Z- Wave pros can read a lot out of this timing information particularly when combined with the routing table
Controller Info
This dialog shows some internal technical data of the controller hardware
used. The first box offers some deep insight into the dynamics of the
controller software. It visualizes the job queue of the system. Every
communication attempt of the controller is queues into a job queue and then
handed over to the Z-Wave chip for execution. The list shows the jobs pending
and the jobs that are completed or failed.
A
legend informs about the meaning of the different flags n, U, D, E, S and W.
The timeout value counts back from 20 seconds once the job was sent. Even when
it was completed the job will stays in the queue marked as done (D) for some
more time to allow inspection. The target node ID, a description of the
communication message, an information about the process and the real Bytes of
the message are shown as well.
The second block gives detailed information about
the Role of the controller in the network, the Z-Wave transceiver hardware
used, firmware running on the Z-Wave transceiver and the release information
of the Z-Way software. This information may be needed during support and
debugging.
The controller is a special node in the network but still a node. Therefore
buttons allow accessing the device specific data of the controller and issue a
Node Information Frame. A third button gives access to the controller specific
data. Most of these data is only relevant to developers. The last block shows
the availability of the function calls on the serial API between the Z-Wave
transceiver and Z-Way.
‘Not implemented’ means that Z-Way is either not knowing about the function
indicated by the function ID or does not make any use of it. A red function
call id or name indicated that Z-Way is able to use this function but the
transceivers firmware did not report to offer this service.
