RaZberry Z-Wave Home Gateway for Raspberry Pi

Introduction to RaZberry

Thank you for buying RaZberry, which turns your Raspberry Pi into a Z-Wave enabled Home Gateway. The solution consists of two parts: (A) the transceiver hardware that is plugged on top of the Raspberry Pi (as shown in the image above, it uses the GPIO Pins 1-10), and (B) a Z-Wave controller software running on the Raspberry Pi itself. You can download a free license of Z-Way from the website razberry.z-wave.me that will work with the hardware out of the box.

Note: The RaZberry hardware will also work with any other Z-Wave controller software compatible with the Z-Wave Serial API.

Installation Methods for Z-Way

Here are two ways to install Z-Way:

Method A: Using a Pre-installed SD Card Image

If you don't have an installed Linux OS on your Raspberry Pi, please download an 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 'Wheezy'.

Method B: Installing on an Existing Linux System

If 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

Accessing Your RaZberry

If you choose to use a preinstalled SD card, you can use the service http://find.zwave.me to detect the IP address. This service is free of charge. Just navigate to the website and find the IP address of your Raspberry Pi below the login screen. Clicking on the IP address leads you to the setup service on Port 8084. You can always change settings using the service on this port.

Follow these steps for initial setup:

Find your RaZberry ID and remember it for remote access to your system.
Choose a password for remote access in the future. Access to RaZberry from the local network (as the first time) does not need a password.

The setup service on port 8084 offers the following functions:

Find the IP Address: Of your RaZberry. You just used this function.
Remote Access: When you are outside your home. For this, a valid password is required (see above).
Firmware Update: Just click on the firmware update tab and follow the instructions.
Remote Support: This function is usually disabled. You will need to enable it on request if you desire remote service. Allowing service people to access your RaZberry is 100% under your control.

Once you set your remote access password, you are done with the initial configuration.

Accessing RaZberry at Home

2. Click on the icon of the device found or use Access ID and Password.

Accessing RaZberry on the Road (Remote Access)

1. Go to find.zwave.me [down arrow]

2. Log in with Access ID and Password.

Whenever you access find.zwave.me again and a local RaZberry is found, clicking on the IP address will lead you right to your Smart Home User Interface. If you don't want to use this service, please choose a fixed IP address. You can then turn off the connection to find.zwave.me, but be aware that you will not have any remote access capability anymore. Hence, it is recommended to use find.zwave.me. The RaZberry grants you 100% control of any cloud service usage of your system.

The User Interface of Z-Way is available on Port 8083. Here you can choose between different User Interfaces. The Expert UI is recommended for control and management of the Z-Wave network. Please refer to http://razberry.z-wave.me for further manuals and instructions on the different User Interfaces.
