LightwaveRF Gen2 Kit (UK Automation System) - Delivered today! My thoughts so far

Take a look here, it seems you have to add a switch in the config even if you don’t have any. As you’ll see, I created a dummy/false switch and it now works for me.

As for room and devices numbers, you would think the first room you create and add a device would be ‘R1D1’, but strangely not for me (R2D1, and R2D2 in my case). To get this information you go to the LightwaveRF web app and get the info by looking at the source code of the webpage if I remember correctly. You should be able to find a link to instructions on that somewhere. If not, let me know and I’ll see if I have it written down somewhere.

jono,

Thanks for the hint. Having looked in more detail, the R1D1 syntax and message format are all consistent with the Gen 1 API. I was not clear in my original post that I am using a Gen2 hub. It doesn’t appear that the communication protocol is similar. As such, I suspect I need to use a different set of code.
