Various User Interfaces of RaZberry
When going to http://YOURIP:8083 you will see a selection menu to choose the web based UI you like to work with. The
two most interesting UIs are the Z-Wave Expert UI (to create and manage the Z-Wave Network) and the Z-Way Home
Automation user interface for day-by-day usage of the whole system. Above and beyond this you can use various mobile
platform native apps you find in the app stores to access the system.
Just visit the Google App store or the iOS app store for native apps with the name “Z-Way”.
The Z-Wave Expert UI
The Z-Wave Expert User Interface is designed for installers, technically savvy people and other users that know how to
built and maintain a Z-Wave based wireless network. Hence it uses some Z-Wave specific language and offers detailed
insight into the work and data structure if the Z-Wave network. It allows to
- Add (include) and remove (exclude) Z-Wave devices and manage the network.
- Configure Z-Wave devices.
- Operate Z-Wave devices.
- Manage Associations between wireless devices.
- Access all data generated by the devices and perform all kind of functions and actions to the device.
- Look behind the scene into the data structures, routing mechanisms and timings of the Z-Wave control stack.
This is particularly useful for debugging and software development.
The Z-Wave Expert UI does not provide any access to higher order business logic and automation. Please refer to other
User Interfaces for these functions.
The UI offers a home screen and four top menu items:
- Control: Access to functions of the wireless devices included in the network.
- Device: Access to information about devices.
- Configuration: Configure the devices after inclusion if needed.
- Network: Add and remove devices and manage the network.
The top level also has a language selector. Please we aware that this selection is only valid for the Expert UI and will not be
used by other web based or app based UIs. The timing info on the upper right side shows the time on the controller device.
Its update serves as a heart beat to the system.
All values shown in the Z-Wave Expert UI are assigned to a time stamp indicating when the value of status information was
received from the wireless network. A red color of the time stamp indicates that and update request from the controller
for this value is pending.
Home Screen
The home screen offers some high level information about the software and a notepad where the user or installer can
leave important information for future use.
