Starting Grizzly

If you using Grizzly you will need to start the supervision tree manually.

Grizzly.Supervisor.start_link(opts)

or add the supervisor to your supervision tree:

children = [
    ... other processes ...
    {Grizzly.Supervisor, grizzly_opts},
    ... other processes ...
]

Supervisor.init(children, supervisor_opts)

Docker Local Development

Getting the zipgateway binary compiled and running can be hard. Due to licenses we cannot redistribute a pre-compiled version either. However, the zipgateway-env project has is a docker based environment that is setup to compile zipgateway from source and provides a CLI for running the binary.

After getting zipgateway-env setup and working you can use grizzly locally. You will need to pass the :run_zipgateway option when you start Grizzly setting it to false:

iex> Grizzly.Supervisor.start_link(run_zipgateway: false)
children = [
    ... other processes ...
    {Grizzly.Supervisor, [run_zipgateway: false]},
    ... other processes ...
]

Supervisor.init(children, supervisor_opts)

Add Devices

There are 3 security schemas a device can be included with:

  1. No Security
  2. S0
  3. [S2]

When adding a device you will need to put the device into inclusion mode. How to do this is normally found in the device's user manual. So, be sure to read that to learn how to add the device to the Z-Wave network.

Also, you will need to put the controller into inclusion mode:

Grizzly.Inclusions.add_node()

After an inclusion is done the calling process will receive this message:

{:grizzly, :report, %Grizzly.Report{}}

Where the Grizzly.Report will have the command field contain the NodeAddStatus command.

That command's param :status will tell you if inclusion failed or not:

alias Grizzly.ZWave.Command

#... code ...

def handle_info({:grizzly, :report, report}, state) do
  case report.command.name do
    :node_add_status ->
      handle_node_add_status(report.command, state)
  end
end

defp handle_node_status(command, state) do
  case Command.param!(command, :status) do
    :done -> Logger.info("YAY!")
    :failed -> Logger.info("Sad!")
  end

  {:noreply, state}
end

If you want to check the security schema that was used you can check the NodeAddStatus command param :granted_keys:

def get_security(node_add_status_command) do
  node_add_status_command
  |> Command.param!(:granted_keys)
  |> Grizzly.ZWave.Security.get_highest_level()
end

No Security

No security is done in these 3 steps

  1. Put the controller in inclusion mode
  2. Put the device in inclusion mode
  3. Wait until NodeAddStatus command is received

S0

S0 inclusion is done the same way as No Security. The only difference the :granted_keys param will be [:s0].

Remove Devices

To remove a device you can call:

Grizzly.Inclusions.remove_device()

By default you will get a message sent to the calling process that looks like:

{:grizzly, :report, %Grizzly.Report{}}

Where the report command that is received is Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.NodeRemoveStatus.

You can also provide an Inclusion handler which is explained in Add Devices.

Factory Reset Controller

If you have been doing development and adding and removing devices or testing some Z-Wave Network functionally that has lead to the network getting in a broken state and you just want to start over again you can reset your controller by doing this:

Grizzly.Network.reset_controller()

This will make the controller forget any devices that are paired with it and delete all node provisioning entries from the SmartStart node provisioning list.

For devices that thought they were included on the newly reset controller you will to excluded them by going through the remove devices steps before you are able to re-include them back into the controller's network.

Command Basics

In Z-Wave everything that is sent and received is a command. The controller will send commands to a device and the device will send commands back. However, there is lifecycle these command go through within Grizzly so the abstraction Grizzly presents is you send a command and receive a report.

The reason for a report is because normally when you send a command and the device answers to that command it will send a command who's name normally ends with Report.

When you get command reports back

The most common case you get a command report back is when you send a GET based command. That is you want to read some value from the device. Common commands that expect a report are:

  1. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.SwitchBinaryGet
  2. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.DoorLockOperationGet
  3. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.UserCodesGet
  4. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.ThermostatSetpointGet

Just to highlight a few.

There is common pattern here: If the command name ends with Get it probably will receive a report command back.

When you get ack responses back

The other main report you will receive is an :ack_response. This report just says the communication to the device was successful. That does not mean the device will perform what you sent, but that is was received. This is common when you want to set a value on the device.

Commands ending with Set will normally be these commands.

But the Get and the Set commands can have exceptions to the normal so please read the module documentation for the command your are using.

Binary Switches

Binary switches are your basic on-off switch. Z-Wave commands to control these are:

Commands:

  1. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.SwitchBinaryGet
  2. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.SwitchBinarySet

Report:

  1. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.SwitchBinaryReport

Usage:

iex> {ok, report} = Grizzly.send_command(switch_id, :switch_binary_get)
iex> Command.param!(report.command, :target_value)
:on
iex> {:ok, %Grizzly.Report{type: :ack_response}} =
       Grizzly.send_command(switch_id, :switch_binary_set, value: :off)
{:ok, %Grizzly.Report{}}

Door Locks

Commands:

  1. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.DockLockOperationGet
  2. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.DockLockOperationSet

Reports:

  1. Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.DockLockOperationReport

Usage:

iex> {:ok, report} = Grizzly.send_command(lock_id, :door_lock_operation_get)
iex> Command.param!(report.command, :mode)
:secured
iex> {:ok, %Grizzly.Report{type: :ack_response}} =
       Grizzly.send_command(lock_id, :dock_lock_operation_set, mode: :unsecured)
{:ok, %Grizzly.Report{}}

DSK

This returns this node's DSK. This is normally printed on a label as a QRCode or a UUID and is what will show up on a hub if you include this node into a Z-Wave network.

iex> Grizzly.Node.get_dsk(1, :learn)
{:ok,
 %Grizzly.Report{
   command: %Grizzly.ZWave.Command{
     command_byte: 9,
     command_class: Grizzly.ZWave.CommandClasses.NetworkManagementBasicNode,
     impl: Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.DSKReport,
     name: :dsk_report,
     params: [
       seq_number: 58,
       add_mode: :learn,
       dsk: "12345-12345-12345-12345-12345-12345-12345-12345"
     ]
   },
   command_ref: #Reference<0.2080011265.2613837825.149583>,
   node_id: 1,
   queued: false,
   queued_delay: 0,
   status: :complete,
   transmission_stats: [],
   type: :command
 }}

Indicator Light

Z-Wave requires that devices be able to identify themselves. Here's how to test this:

# Turn the indicator on
iex> Grizzly.send_command(1, :indicator_set,
       resources: [
         [indicator_id: :node_identify, property_id: :toggling_periods, value: 1],
         [indicator_id: :node_identify, property_id: :toggling_cycles, value: 1]
       ]
     )

# Turn off
iex> Grizzly.send_command(1, :indicator_set,
       resources: [
         [indicator_id: :node_identify, property_id: :toggling_periods, value: 0],
         [indicator_id: :node_identify, property_id: :toggling_cycles, value: 0]
       ]
     )

Firmware Information

To check firmware version information

iex> Grizzly.send_command(node_id, :version_get)
{:ok,
 %Grizzly.Report{
   command: %Grizzly.ZWave.Command{
     command_byte: 2,
     command_class: Grizzly.ZWave.CommandClasses.FirmwareUpdateMD,
     impl: Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.FirmwareMDReport,
     name: :firmware_md_report,
     params: [
       manufacturer_id: 297,
       firmware_id: 769,
       checksum: 16143,
       firmware_upgradable?: true,
       max_fragment_size: 40,
       other_firmware_ids: [32778]
     ]
   },
   command_ref: #Reference<0.1607448711.4278714369.34043>,
   node_id: 10,
   queued: false,
   queued_delay: 0,
   status: :complete,
   transmission_stats: [],
   type: :command
 }}

To check what firmware version is running on a node:

iex> Grizzly.send_command(node_id, :firmware_md_get)
{:ok,
 %Grizzly.Report{
   command: %Grizzly.ZWave.Command{
     command_byte: 18,
     command_class: Grizzly.ZWave.CommandClasses.Version,
     impl: Grizzly.ZWave.Commands.VersionReport,
     name: :version_report,
     params: [
       library_type: :enhanced_slave,
       protocol_version: "4.24",
       firmware_version: "1.78",
       hardware_version: 255,
       other_firmware_versions: ["24.0"]
     ]
   },
   command_ref: #Reference<0.1607448711.4278714369.35718>,
   node_id: 10,
   queued: false,
   queued_delay: 0,
   status: :complete,
   transmission_stats: [],
   type: :command
 }}

Network Update

Sometimes the Z-Wave can get into a funny state and devices stop communicating with the controller. One thing that could help fix this issue is running:

Grizzly.Network.request_network_update()
