Installation steps:
1. Install the RaZberry 7 Pro shield on the Raspberry Pi GPIO
2. Install Z-Way software
The RaZberry 7 Pro shield is designed to work with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B,
but is fully compatible with all previous models, such as: A, A+, B, B+, 2B, Zero,
Zero W, 3A+, 3B, 3B+. The maximum potential of the RaZberry 7 Pro is achieved
together with Z-Way software.
There are several ways to install Z-Way:
1. Download a flash card image based on Raspberry Pi OS with pre-installed
Z-Way (flash card minimum size is 4 GB)
https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/raspberryPiOS_zway.img.zip
2. Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from an apt repository:
wget -q -O - https://storage.z-wave.me/RaspbianInstall | sudo bash
3. Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from a deb package:
https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/
It is recommended to use the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS
NOTE:
RaZberry 7 Pro is also compatible with other third party Z-Wave
software supporting Silicon Labs Z-Wave Serial API.
After the successful installation of Z-Way, make sure that Raspberry Pi has
Internet access. In the same local network go to
https://find.z-wave.me
, you
will see the local IP address of your Raspberry Pi below the login form. Click
on the IP to reach the Z-Way Web UI initial setup screen. The welcome screen
shows the Remote ID and will prompt you to set the administrator password.
NOTE:
If you are in the same local network with the Raspberry Pi, you can
access Z-Way Web UI using a browser by typing in the address bar:
http://
RASPBERRY_IP:8083
.
After setting the administrator password you can access the Z-Way Web UI
from anywhere in the world, to do this go to
https://find.z-wave.me
, type
ID/login (e.g. 12345/admin) and enter your password.
PRIVACY NOTE:
Z-Way by default connects to the server
find.z-wave.me
in order to provide remote access. If you don’t need this service, you can turn
off this feature after logging into Z-Way (Main menu > Settings > Remote
Access). All communications between Z-Way and the server
find.z-wave.me
are encrypted and protected by certificates.
