  1. Overview

Z-Wave 500 Series End Device Software Features and Benefits

The Z-Wave 500 Series End Device Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) intended to help developers creating Z-Wave Plus compliant products in a fast and cost-effective manner. The software consists of Z-Wave libraries supporting controller/slave devices and a Z-Wave Plus Application Framework, as well as code for a broad range of home automation applications. The Z-Wave development software package consists of a protocol part, applications, and a number of tools used for developing and building the code for your application.

Features   Benefits
Sub GHz Wireless MESH   2.4 GHz interference-free operation, Reliable MESH communication, and extended range
SmartStart   Automatic and secure device commissioning eliminating installation and commissioning errors
S2 Security   Device-To-Cloud Security by securing the device during network commission and operation
FLiRS Multicast   Enables low power and low-latency battery-operated products.
Interoperability   Application-level Interoperability & backward compatibility with 3000+ products from 700+ manufactures
Z/IP Gateway   Out of the box and ready to use Z-Wave controller reference implementation

Download and Install Z-Wave 500 Series Software

This section contains the tools available to be used for the development and debugging of the Z-Wave 500 Series.

Z-Wave SDK

The Z-Wave 500 Series Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) intended to help developers creating Z-Wave Plus compliant products in a fast and cost-effective manner.

Z-Wave SDK

PC Programmer

The Z-Wave Programmer can be used for programming the Z-Wave 200/300/400/500 Series Single Chips during SW and HW development and for small production series. The Z-Wave Programmer can be used for writing data such as home ID to the external EEPROM on the Z-Wave modules and in addition, it can also configure transmission power and RF settings on the Z-Wave modules.

USB Drivers (CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Driver)

The Z-Wave Programmer can be used for programming the Z-Wave 200/300/400/500 Series Single Chips during SW and HW development and for small production series. The Z-Wave Programmer can be used for writing data such as home ID to the external EEPROM on the Z-Wave modules and in addition, it can also configure transmission power and RF settings on the Z-Wave modules.

VCP Driver

Z-Wave SmartStart QR-Tool

Z-Wave SmartStart Tool aims to shift the tasks related to the inclusion of an end device into a Z-Wave network away from the end device itself, and towards the more user-friendly interface of the gateway. Z-Wave SmartStart removes the need for initiating the end device to start inclusion.

SmartStart

Micro RF LinkX

Micro RF LinkX helps to verify the RF performance of a device without the overhead of the Z-Wave protocol.

Micro RF LinkX

XML Editor

The Z-Wave XML Editor is used to define approved Z-Wave device and command classes used by the application layer of the Z-Wave protocol. The XML document can be used by e.g. the Z-Wave Zniffer for interpretation of the device and command classes. Beside an XML file containing all the information, it is also possible to generate a C# class file and C header file as a foundation for Z-Wave application development.

The Z-Wave XML Editor enables also the customer to define device and command classes under development or proprietary command class structures.
