ZWaveJS.NET is a class library developed for the .NET framework family, that opens up the zwave-js Driver in .NET, allowing its runtime to be used directly in .NET applications.
- NET 4.5
- NET 4.8
- NET 5.0
- NET Standard 2.0
- NET Standard 2.1
- NET Core 3.1
The library strictly follows the structure of the zwave-js API.
Examples:
Driver.Controller.BeginHealingNetwork()
Driver.Controller.Nodes.Get(4).GetDefinedValueIDs()
Driver.Controller.Nodes.Get(4).SetValue(ValueID ValueID, object Value, SetValueAPIOptions Options = null)
Driver.Controller.Nodes.Get(4).GetEndpoint(2).InvokeCCAPI(int CommandClass, string Method, params object[] Params)

- Interview Started, Completed & Failed events
- Node Network Statistics updated events
The library can operate in 2 ways: Client or Self Hosted.
Client
The library will connect to an already running instance of zwave-js-server.
Self Hosted
The library will host its own zwave-js instance.
You might ask, if in this mode, nodejs and npm is needed on the host system - it is not!
This is all possible with an accompanying file - server.psi. (Platform Support Image)
Its an executable that is running silently/hidden,
and it contains everything necessary for .NET to work with zwave-js.
server.psi files are platform specific, but the assembly isn't - it will run on windows, OSX and Linux, and the platform specifics i.e node are contained in server.psi.
- Windows x64
- MacOS x64 (Should support Apple Silicon via Rosetta 2)
- Ubuntu Linux x64
- Debian ARM64
To build an image for your platform:
- Clone the repo
- cd to ./PSI
- run
yarn install --immutable
- and finally
yarn run build
- rename dist/server to server.psi, and distrubute with your application/dll.
Every release will include a set of PSI images, so download the one for your platform, and rename it to server.psi, and ensure its in the same location as the dll.
There is also a Helper method that pulls down the correct image if one is needed ZWaveJS.NET.Helpers.DownloadPSI()
server.psi is not needed, if using the library in Client Mode.
The class library contains most of the methods you will need, from including a secure device, to removing it.
All releases will be published to nuget, so search for ZWaveJS.NET and install it, the nupkg file will also be attached to the release here, on Github, along with the platform PSI files.
static ZWaveJS.NET.Driver _Driver;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Set encryption keys, enable logging, adjust network timeouts so on and so forth.
ZWaveJS.NET.ZWaveOptions Options = new ZWaveJS.NET.ZWaveOptions();
// Create Driver Instance
_Driver = new Driver("COM7", Options);
// Subscribe to driver ready
_Driver.DriverReady += _Driver_DriverReady;
_Driver.Start();
}
private static void _Driver_DriverReady()
{
// Update a value
ZWaveJS.NET.ValueID VID = new ZWaveJS.NET.ValueID();
VID.commandClass = 135;
VID.property = "value";
VID.endpoint = 0;
// Support for set Value Options
ZWaveJS.NET.SetValueAPIOptions SVO = new ZWaveJS.NET.SetValueAPIOptions();
SVO.transitionDuration = "2s";
SVO.volume = 30;
// All methods returns a task, as to not block the UI
_Driver.Controller.Nodes.Get(4).SetValue(VID, 200, SVO).ContinueWith((res) => {
if (res.Result.Success) {
Console.WriteLine("Value Updated");
}
});
// Listen for Value Updates on a node
_Driver.Controller.Nodes.Get(3).ValueUpdated += Program_ValueUpdated;
_Driver.Controller.Nodes.Get(3).Notification += Program_Notification;
// Or All of them
ZWaveJS.NET.ZWaveNode[] Nodes = _Driver.Controller.Nodes.AsArray();
foreach(ZWaveJS.NET.ZWaveNode Node in Nodes)
{
Node.ValueUpdated += Program_ValueUpdated;
Node.Notification += Program_Notification;
}
// Other Node methods
_Driver.Controller.Nodes.Get(4).GetDefinedValueIDs().ContinueWith((res) => {
// Do something with Value ID's (res.Result)
});
}
private static void Program_ValueUpdated(ZWaveNode Node, JObject Args)
{
// Do something with Args
}
private static void Program_Notification(ZWaveNode Node, int ccId, JObject Args)
{
// Do something with Args
}
The Network Toolkit Application (NET 4.5) serves as a reference, in how the library can be used, but at the same time, can be used as a tool to manage your network. You can download the toolkit demo from the Release pages here, on Github - The source code is also available.
