OpenZWave Control Panel v0.2a 8/8/2011 Welcome to a very alpha release of the OpenZWave Control Panel. OVERVIEW This README for the OpenZWave Control Panel will attempt to provide the necessary information to compile, use and develop. The OpenZWave Control Panel (ozwcp for short) is an application built on the OpenZWave library http://code.google.com/p/open-zwave/ that permits users to query, manage and monitor Z-Wave nodes and networks. It provides a web based user interface using AJAX principles. The code is very new, as is the library, so bugs will be present. This tool will allow the basic use of Z-Wave devices as well as help push forward the development of the OpenZWave library. INSTALLATION To install ozwcp, visit http://code.google.com/p/openzwave-control-panel/ and click on the "source" tab. You will need an svn client to check out a copy of the sources. You will need a copy of the latest version of the OpenZWave library at http://code.google.com/p/open-zwave/. Use the "source" tab on that project to get a copy. ozwcp uses GNU's libmicrohttpd library available at http://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/. I have set up this library using the --enable-messages configure option for debugging but this is optional. All three of these installations should share live in the same directory (share a common parent). The ozwcp Makefile assumes this. See Makefile for comments about Mac OS X support. Note: Makefile is configured to build on Mac OS X; to build on Linux, you will need to comment out lines under # for Mac OS X comment and uncomment lines under # for Linux uncomment Currently Windows is not supported. It should be possible to port this to the Window's cygwin environment if anyone is interested in pursing that option. OPERATION ozwcp currently runs from the command line and takes two flags: -d for debugging -p <portnum> port number the web server will listen on Once started, connect to the hostname:postnum that ozwcp is running on using a web broswer and you will get to the user interface. Firefox has been extensively tested. Safari works. Intnernet Explorer doesn't work yet. This is also on the to do list. ozwcp currently must be run from within its distribution directory. It serves files that must be present for it to work properly. You may need to run it as root depending on the port number you use. CAVEATS This is an alpha release at best. It has only ever worked in a single environment. Please report bugs to the OpenZWave google groups mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/openzwave. See the file TODO for a list of things on the to do list. NOTE The html/javascript tooltip support came from: http://sixrevisions.com/tutorials/javascript_tutorial/create_lightweight_javascript_tooltip/
