Making Smart Home devices great again
During this workshop we will build simple smart home devices using the Z-Wave protocol. We will also discuss smart home controllers and protocols diversity: Z-Wave, Zigbee, Thread, Matter.
Please take with you:
- Your laptop with Access to the internet and Chromium or Google Chrome Optionally:
- Arduino IDE or VS code installed (with Z-Uno package installed, see https://z-uno.z-wave.me/install for details - we will help you with this during the workshop)
- Arduino-compatible sensors to build your own Z-Wave sensor (optional)
- Your Z-Wave stuff if any (optional)
Topics of the workshop:
- What is Z-Wave and where should you use it. Comparison with Zigbee and Matter
- Z-Wave controller and RaZberry/WB7 hardware: Controlling switches, Reading sensor/switch values, Making rules, Using JS API
- Z-Uno prototyping board: Making Simple Switch, Adding more stuff
- Z-Uno Shield and Z-Uno Configurator
- Z-Uno Modules
