Vera Serial Interface Diagram
Update from Andrew who created the mqtt hackIt all really depends. I am not familiar with z-wave or Vera. It all depends on how vera can communicate with connected devices.I see that you can add a ‘custom’ device but not further than that - I don’t know how ‘custom’ you can get. Presumably it would give you the ability to generate HTTP requests to a device? If so, then we could use that sort of control somewhat easily but I am not sure how the device could actively update Vera (or does it just poll the device constantly?).I don’t mind helping you out but I can’t do all the work - If you can tell me the methods/protocols Vera can use to control the device, we should be able to come up with a method that will work for you. Hi zedrally,This attached picture is on the github link I posted???Below from him earlier today re Zuno By the looks of it the Z Wave stuff does not look too complicated (based on some code examples I saw from the Zuno).
Go Vera
If you want to send me the Z-Uno, I should be able to program it up and board up the interface to at least talk with he LG unit - I have a CNC machine that I can use to make PCbs so it would be a proper solution. However, I can’t test the z-wave unless you have something else you can send me to test it with (or someone else here). If nothing else, it would give us a good base point that we could then build up the z-wave stuff.Up to you though, just trying to come up with a workable solution for you.You should be able to find the parts you need at Jaycar to at least breadboard the interface up but I am not sure if they sell the opto-isolator.I also have a logic analyser that we can use to test the baud rate but looking at the code for the softwareserial implementation it should work.FFS: How many posts do I have to get to on this forum before I don’t need to answer all the questions before I can post anything!!!??? quote=“elnino, post:13, topic:199925”If you want to send me the Z-Uno, I should be able to program it up and board up the interface to at least talk with he LG unit - I have a CNC machine that I can use to make PCbs so it would be a proper solution.

quote=“doinitsideways, post:18, topic:199925”I was toying with the idea of trying to buy or borrow someone?s old vera unit to send to you as well???Josh/quoteThe problem is that it can’t be any old unit as the earlier ones are not Z-Wave Plus radio (Z-Wave Plus SDK, GEN 5 Chipset, whatever).If is was possible to use a Z-Wave HAC, then there are plenty to be had as many have been discarded to make way for new tech (Z-Wave Plus). I’ve got a Vera G that used to be useful as a Sandbox, your welcome to it but it won’t work with any of the newer devices.
