zwave.dart

zwave is a Dart package for interacting with Z-Wave devices.

Overview

This Dart package enables interacting with Z-Wave devices on Linux.

Usage

This package provides

• a library of Dart classes for interacting with a Z-Wave network
• a Z-Wave check port for checking the connection to the Z-Wave controller
• a Z-Wave packet decoder for decoding and printing Z-Wave packets
• an example using this package

Requirements

• A Z-Wave Controller such as the Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Z-Stick, Gen5 (ZW090).

Setup

1. Setup your Z-Wave controller with your Z-Wave devices

2. Activate this zwave package using the pub global command.

    pub global activate zwave

3. From your application directory (the application that references the zwave package) run the following command to build the native library

    pub global run zwave:build_lib

4. Finally, run the included command line application to ensure that this package is installed correctly and can communicate with your devices using your Z-Wave Controller.

    pub global run zwave:zw_check

pub global activate makes the Dart scripts in the zwave/bin directory runnable from the command line. pub global run zwave:build_lib runs the zwave/bin/build_lib.dart program which in turn calls the build_lib script to compile the native libozw_ext.so library for the zwave package.

Example

The example demonstrates how to use this package to build an application for interacting with a Z-Wave network.
