Product Description

The ACT USB adapter connects a PC to a Z-Wave network using the USB interface. The unit conveys the USB signals to a serial interface and does therefore need a device driver for this conversion function.  The operating system and the Z-Wave capable home automation software recognize the device as virtual serial interface.
PC software communicates with the device via this serial port using the serial API-protocol of Z-Wave, which is described in the document “Z-Wave Application Programmers Guide, INS10247”. This standard protocol of Z-Wave is used by many home automation software solutions such as

 

  • IP Symcon
  • Homeseer
  • Embedded Automation
  • 4HomeMedia
  • ControlThink.

All software solutions using the Zen-Sys standard library “zwave.dll” for Microsoft Windows are compatible with this adapter.

Attention: Although all Z-Wave capable software solutions work with the serial API for Z-Wave and can work with this PC-adapter, some software packages may require a certain PC-adapter for licensing reasons. The use of this PC-adapter may fail in this case.
