RaZberry2
(ZME*RAZ2)
Thanks for you buying RaZberry which turns your Raspberry Pi into a
Z-Wave enabled smart home gateway. There are three parts: (A) the RaZberry
Z-Wave hardware shield that is plugged on top of the Raspberry Pi, (B) the Raspberry
Pi as such and (C) a Z-Wave controller software running on the Raspberry Pi itself. You
can download a free copy of the certified “Z-Way” software from
razberry.z-wave.me
.
The RaZberry shield works with all Raspberry Pi type A, B, B+, 2, Zero and 3.
Note: The RaZberry works with all third party Z-Wave software supporting Sigma Serial
API.
Here are two ways to install and start Z-Way:
1.
You don’t have installed Linux OS on your Raspberry Pi: Please download a SD card image (SD card must have
min. 4 GB) from the download section of
http://razberry.z-wave.me
. It is based on the Raspberry Pi distribution
‘Jessie’.
2.
You already have a working Linux running: Log in and execute the following command line:
wget -q -O - http://razberry.z-wave.me/install | sudo bash. Please use Raspian image ‘Jessie’.
In order to use Z-Way make sure that your Pi is connected to the internet using the Ethernet port. Now use a web browser
from a PC in the very same network and go to
http://find.zwave.me
. You will see the local IP address of your Pi below the
login window. Click on the IP to reach the initial setup screen of Z-Way that gives you the device ID of your RaZberry and
requests you to set your admin password. (If you know your Pi’s local IP address you can type this into the browser as
follows:
http://YOUR_IP:8083
)
Now you can access your controller from outside your home too, using the service
find.zwave.me
. Use
DEVICEID/LOGIN (e.g. 12345/admin) and your password.
Privacy Note: Z-Way always connects to the server find.zwave.me in order to give you remote access to your system. If
you don’t want this, you can turn off this feature after logging into Z-Way (Setup > Management > Remote Access). Please
be aware that you will have to set a port forwarding to port 8083 or you will not have any remote access from outside your
home. All communication between Z-Way and the server find.zwave.me is encrypted and protected by valid certificates.
The user interface (“SmartHome UI”) looks similar on different devices such as desktop pc, smartphone or tablet pc (both
native app and browser) but it will adapt to the screen sizes. It allows controlling devices and read sensor status. Every
function of any device is shown as one single
Element (7). In case a physical device has
multiple functions – like switching and metering
– it will generate multiple elements. All elements
are listed in the Element View (3) and can be
filtered by function type (switch, dimmer,
sensor) or other filtering criteria. Every element
offers a Configuration View (8) for changing
names, remove it from the screens etc.
Important elements can be placed in the
Dashboard (1). Additionally, the elements can
be accessed using Rooms (2) assignments.
Every change of a sensor value or a switching
status is called an Event (4) and is shown in the
Timeline (4). Filtering allows monitoring the
changes of one single function or device.
All other functions such as time triggered
actions, the use of information from the internet,
scene plugins of other technologies and
services are realized in so-called Apps. These
apps are ready-to-use scripts/ templates that
can add extra logic and functionality such as
logic rules like “IF
THEN”, scene definitions, timers, interactions with external (non Z-Wave) devices connected via USB
Dongle or via internet etc. Some apps are built-in into the system. More can be downloaded from an App Store. To use an
app, you have to create an instance of this app and configure its properties. If useful you can create more than one
instances of one single app. The apps can create none, one or multiple new elements and events. You can install new
apps and manage them using the Configuration Menu (6) > Apps.
1.
Raspberry Pi Connector, used GPIO pins 1-10
2.
Second Open Connector, identical to (1)
3.
Reset Button: Short press and release will start a service on
port 8084 for 10 minutes to update/replace Z-Way version.
This is a short cut of the firmware update function available
within the SmartHome UI management section. Keeping this
button pushed for 10 seconds will perform a factory reset and
erase all settings in the Z-Wave chip plus reset all user defined
settings including your admin password.
4.
Open hole for a PigTail antenna. You need to break off the
PCBA antenna to make this work.
5.
Pads to solder an uFL connector for external antenna. See
https://www.adafruit.com/products/1661
for component
details. You need to break off the PCBA antenna to make this
work.
6.
Two LEDs for status information.

may help as well.
RaZberry can be used in multiple areas of the world and adapted to the local Z-Wave frequency just using the Z-Wave
Experts UI (
http://YOURIP:8083/expert
, Network > Management). The SKU code determines the default frequency. Do not
change the frequencies outside your SKU code group.
