PowerWave

PowerWave is a pure PowerShell framework for home automation via Z-Wave radio protocol

• Uses Aeon Labs Z-stick to transmit and receive Z-Wave frames
• No dependencies other than PowerShell v3 or better
• Simple to use; great way to learn Z-Wave
• Modular architecture allows Z-Wave devices to be modeled and added independently
• Create powerful scripts to respond to sensor events and control lights, appliances, garage doors, thermostats, etc.
• Combine with PowerShell web server Canister and HTML/Javascript to control your home from any device, from anywhere

Example

Get the heat set point of a Z-Wave enabled 2Gig CT100 thermostat.

$zdriver = Import-Module .\ZWaveDriver.psm1 -AsCustomObject

# Connect to the Aeon Labs Z-stick on the serial port COM5
$zdriver.Connect('COM5')

# Assume the device address of the CT100 thermostat is 6
# In the future the driver module will be enhanced to discover all devices on the network
$ct100Address = 6

Unregister-Event *

# Create callbacks to process messages sent by Z-Wave devices (called "Reports")
# One callback for each device address
Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier "ZWaveReport:$ct100Address" -Action {
    $frame = $Event.SourceArgs
    $cmdClass = $frame[5]
    $sensor = $frame[7]
    $data = $frame[8..($frame[6] + 8)]
    if ($cmdClass -eq 0x43 -and $sensor -eq 1) { Write-Host ('Thermostat Heat Set Point is ' + $data[1].ToString()) }
}

# Request value of the heat set point from CT100 thermostat
# 0x43 is the command class for thermostat set points
# 1 is the heat set point (2 is cooling set point, etc.)
# See http://220.135.186.178/zwave/example/THERMOSTAT%20SETPOINT/index.html

$zdriver.GetSensor($ct100Address, 0x43, 1)

# After all the work is done release the serial port
$zdriver.Disconnect()
