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.
