Description
ViaSens 100 connects a PC to a Z-Wave network using the USB interface. The unit emulates a USB communication device (CDC Communications Device Class) and does not need any further device drivers. The operating system and the Z-Wave capable home automation software recognise the device as virtual serial interface.
PC software communicates with the device via this serial port using the serial API-protocol of Z-Wave, which is described in the document “Z-Wave Application Programmers Guide, INS10247”. This standard protocol of Z-Wave is used by many home automation software solutions such as
- IP Symcon
- Homeseer
- Embedded Automation
- 4HomeMedia
- ControlThink
All software solutions using the Zen-Sys standard library “zwave.dll” for Microsoft Windows are compatible with this adapter.
Attention: Although all Z-Wave capable software solutions work with the serial API for Z-Wave and can work with this PC-adapter, some software packages may require a certain PC-adapter for licensing reasons. The use of this PC-adapter may fail in this case.
