OVERVIEW
Congratulations!
- You have got a modern Z-Wave™ shield RaZberry 7 with an extended radio range.
- RaZberry 7 will transform your Raspberry Pi into a full-featured smart home gateway.
- RaZberry 7 Z-Wave shield (Raspberry Pi not included)
Installation steps
- Install the RaZberry 7 shield on the Raspberry Pi GPIO
- Install Z-Way software
- The RaZberry 7 shield is designed to work with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B but is fully compatible with all previous models, such as A, A+, B, B+, 2B, Zero, Zero W, 3A+, 3B, and 3B+.
- The maximum potential of the RaZberry 7 is achieved together with Z-Way software.
There are several ways to install Z-Way:
- Download a flashcard image based on Raspberry Pi OS with pre-installed Z-Way (flashcard minimum size is 4 GB) https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/raspberryPiOS_zway.img.zip
- Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from an apt repository: wget -q -0 – https://storage.z-wave.me/RaspbianInstall | sudo bash
- Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from a deb package: https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/
-
It is recommended to use the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS.
NOTE: RaZberry 7 is also compatible with other third-party 2-Wave software supporting Silicon Labs Z-Wave Serial API. -
After the successful installation of 2-Way, make sure that Raspberry Pi has Internet access. In the same local network go to https://find.z-wave.me, you will see the local IP address of your Raspberry Pi below the login form.
-
Click on the IP to reach the Z-Way Web Ul initial setup screen. The welcome screen shows the Remote ID and will prompt you to set the administrator password.
-
NOTE: If you are in the same local network as the Raspberry Pi, you can access Z-Way Web Ul using a browser by typing in the address bar: http://RASPBERRY_IP:8083.
-
After setting the administrator password you can access the Z-Way Web Ul from anywhere in the world, to do this go to https://find.z-wave.me, type ID/login (e.g. 12345/admin), and enter your password.
PRIVACY NOTE: Z-Way by default connects to the server find.z-wave.me to provide remote access. If you don’t need this service, you can turn off this feature after logging into Z-Way (Main menu > Settings > Remote Access). -
All communications between Z-Way and the server find.z-wave.me are encrypted and protected by certificates.
INTERFACE
- The “SmartHome” user interface looks similar on different devices such as desktops, smartphones, or tablets, but adapts to the screen size. The user interface is intuitive and simple:
- Dashboard (1)
- Rooms (2)
- Widgets (3)
- Events (4)
- Quick automation (5)
- Main menu (6)
- Device widgets (7)
- Widget settings (8)
- Favorite devices are displayed on the Dashboard (1)
- Devices can be assigned to a Room (2)
- The full list of all devices is in Widgets (3)
- Every sensor or relay triggering is displayed in Events (4)
- Set up scenes, rules, schedules, and alarms in Quick Automation (5)
- Apps and system settings are in the Main menu (6)
- The device can provide several functions, for example, a 3-in-1 Multisensor provides: a motion sensor, light sensor, and temperature sensor. In this case, there will be three separate widgets (7) with individual settings (8).
- Advanced automation can be configured using local and online Apps. Apps allow you to set up rules like “IF > THEN”, to create scheduled scenes, and set auto-off timers.
- Using applications you can also add support for additional devices: IP cameras, Wi-Fi plugs, EnOcean sensors, and set-up integrations with Apple HomeKit, MQTT, IFTTT, etc.
- More than 50 applications are built-in and more than 100 can be downloaded for free from the Online Store.
- Applications are managed in the Main menu > Apps.
Z-WAVE FEATURES
