Problem with SerialPortLib 1.0.19

I get a 'Method not found' exception if I try to use version1.0.19 with your latest SerialPortLib, also 1.0.19:

Method not found: 'Void SerialPortLib.SerialPortInput.SetPort(System.String, Int32, System.IO.Ports.StopBits, System.IO.Ports.Parity)'. (MissingMethodException)

but not if I go back to SerialPortLib 1.0.18

Using VS2019, building for .NET Framework 4.7.2.

Problem with SerialPortLib 1.0.18

I get a 'Method not found' exception if I try to use version1.0.18 with your latest SerialPortLib, also 1.0.18:

Method not found: 'Void SerialPortLib.SerialPortInput.SetPort(System.String, Int32, System.IO.Ports.StopBits, System.IO.Ports.Parity)'. (MissingMethodException)

but not if I go back to SerialPortLib 1.0.16.

With SerialPortLib 1.0.16, I can connect to my Z-Stick Gen5, but calling Discovery gives:

Could not load file or assembly 'mscorlib.XmlSerializers, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

which I don't know how to sort out - anyone else getting this?

Using VS2019, building for .NET Framework 4.6.2.

Thanks,

Windows serial port format?

My Z-stick is assigned COM7 ... I tried "COM7", "com7", "COM7COM", can't get it to work on Windows in C#... am I being dense? It shows 0 nodes and not connected but if I load it in Axial Server I see my irrigation controller.

Color Switch Command

Sorry for what is probably a silly question. How would one issue a color switch command(to change the color of an Aeotec Gen 6 multi-color bulb)? I see there is not a specific class for it. Any specific suggestions on how to do this? Asking at the front end of my search and tinkering efforts, so I will post back here if I find a route. Otherwise I'd welcome any tips :)

Thanks!

Error - Raspberry PI

Hello,
Thank you for the project. Something has to be taken into consideration when using the Raspberry PI, the Gen5 stick lights up wildly all the time. After establishing the connection, the connection will break off again. With the Discovery no devices are found, over Windows it runs normally.
Kind regards

Support for UV (included in Aeotec/Aeon Labs Multisensor 6)

When the Aeotec Multisensor 6 submits its UV value, the event is not processed by ZWaveLib.
Its code is 27 and seems to be missing/unhandled in SensorValue.cs.

Most of all I would like to get rid of the message but actually fully supporting this (quite common) device would be nice.

Anyone keen on looking into that or should I go ahead and have a look and create a PR?

Are there any plans for new releases? The NuGet package is quite stale compared to the repo.

Thank you.

System.NullReferenceException error in example

I tried the example code from the home page and experienced two issues:

1- There is a typo error in the following code in the line "SwitchMultiLevel.Set(dimmer, 50);". The "L" must be lowercase.

2- The real issue: On my computer the variable "dimmer" (line 14) is not initialized. For some reason it keeps the "null" value. So the next line (SwitchMultilevel.Set(dimmer, 50);) throw a NullReferenceException.

I've double checked my port and node numbers and they are correct.

Secure Include and related configuration

Hello,

Looking through the source, I see a lot of mention, relating to security, encryption keys and what not.
However, the public methods that are available under the ZWaveController do not reveal any methods to control security.

i.e Starting Secure Include, Setting the encryption key etc etc.

Question.
Does your Lib support Secure include, setting the key, and operating secure devices?

Would appreciate a response.

Support for Central Scene command class

I was wondering if there is support for COMMAND_CLASS_CENTRAL_SCENE.

I now own a ZRC-90 scene master, but it only uses the Central Scene command class, as it looks now it is not yet supported by this lib...

At the OpenZWave issues I've found the following for implementation: OpenZWave/open-zwave#367 (comment)

I am attempting to add the command class myself, when successful I will create a pull request :)

Examples get Motion And battery

Hello,

Are the some Examples from get the Motion And battery only to console. To read when a event happens and te state of the battery. I think I am doing too hard myself.

So I hope somebody can give me a good Example

Serial port stays open after dispose

When I dispose the ZWaveController the serial port sometimes stays open / cannot be opened again.

Sometimes a Thread.Sleep helps before opening the port again, but sometimes it doesn't and the port stays open forever.

Is this a known problem / what can I do about it?

Polling nodes for current status (on/off, open/close, etc.)

Thank you for this library, it’s really jumpstarted my project and saved me a ton of time. I’ve not found a way to individually poll nodes to get their current status. It looks like OpenZWave does support it-is it included in this library? Thank you for your time.

For netcore >= 3 use System.IO.Ports

For netcore >= 3 use System.IO.Ports as it works out-of-the box on all platforms.

Possibility to licence the library under LPGL license?

Hi,

it is possible to license the library unter LGPL license (or another more permissive license like MIT)?

more sample code available?

Hi,

for a few years I'm developing my own home automation system (just for me and a few friends, nothing commercial) with my own hardware and own protocol. The central packet routing and logic software is written by me in C#.

For a few devices that I can't build myself (anything switching mains power and anything that must look nice like radiator valves, window sensors, ...) I would now like to include support for Z-Wave devices.

I have come across this library. There are a few more out there but so far I like this one best because it seems to be pure .NET managed code, not just a wrapper around C++ code.

However, what I'm missing is documentation and/or more sample code. The sample on the main page here shows how to set a thermostat setpoint (which is exactly what I'm trying to test first). What I'm currently missing is some sample code showing how to read / Get values. Does anyone have any simple sample code for that, please?

Motion Sensor notifications

Hello,

I am currently facing issues with motions sensors notifications with a Fibaro FGMS-001 (I did try with another motion sensor with the same result).

How am I supposed to be notified when a motion is detected? I thought it would work with the "NodeUpdated" callback from ZWaveController but it never raises such event.

I dit try to use SensorBinary.Get(node) but as a result I am notifiied that the device is in sleeping mode.

Thank you.

Irrigation control with ZWaveLib?

I had posted a bounty on this... I don't see that this is something supported by the library yet?

.Net Core

Are the any plans go for a .Net Core version ?

Queued Messages (for battery operated devices)

Hello,

I begin with a huge thanks for this zwave lib project.
I have successfully integrated this into a .net executable, which is actually the bases of a Node-Red node. allowing zwave functionality in Node-Red - it works really really well.
you are of course credited.

I do however have a question:
For battery operated devices - I seem to not be able to get messages out to such device.
looking through the source code, it seems to reference queuing the message, if its not awake.

Later, when such devices wake up - my message does not seem to get sent, so I resort in sending messages, upon receiving the Wake Interval event, as a-posed to the lib queuing a message.

Am I missing something here, or does the lib not actually queue anything?

Many Thanks

ParseSerialBuffer() cannot handle receipt of a fragmented ACK

I recently upgraded my HomeGenie from a Pi2 to a faster Pi4, while continuing to use an old Aeon stick as the controller. This has resulted in many more fragmented Zwave frames. SOF frames are handled ok, but if an ACK is fragmented, the code incorrectly handles it, as follows. A normal ACK frame is traced as 06-01-04-01-13-01-E8.

In fact the logic in ParseSerialBuffer() looks very strange.

Library doesn't recognize Fibaro Dimmer 2

The library does allow the controller to add the Fibaro Dimmer 2 node and lists it as follows:

Node
4
___Manufacturer Specific 010F-0102-1000
___Basic Type None
___Generic Type None
___Specific Type 0
___Secure Info Frame
___Info Frame 04-11-01-5E-86-72-59-73-22-31-32-71-56-98-7A
___Node Version info:
______LibraryType 3
______ProtocolVersion 4
______ProtocolSubVersion 5
______ApplicationVersion 3
______ApplicationSubVersion 4

As you can see Generic Type is set to None stopping me from sending the SwitchMultilevel command. Also the commandclasses are empty. Does this has to do witht he fact the Fibaro's are using encryption? As I also have a normal LED light which works just fine:

Node 2
___Manufacturer Specific --
___Basic Type RoutingSlave
___Generic Type SwitchMultilevel
___Specific Type 1
___Secure Info Frame
___Info Frame
___Routing Info 01

Reference to SerialPortLib is missing

There is reference to SerialPortLib (SerialPortInput class) but it doesn't resolve. Where do I find this library?
