Sending/receiving raw messages in python-openzwave?

[Christian Kühnel]

Hello world,

Is there a way to send and receive the raw data from the messages on the Z-Wave network? 

Or can I implement a new command class on top of the python-openzwave library?

My use case:

I have a few Fibaro FGRM-222 controllers for my venetian blinds. The default Z-Wave covers do not support getting/setting the tilt (=rotation) of the blinds. Fibaro is using a proprietary extension to implement this feature. I did implement the required changes already in the open-zwave library, but they did not yet get merged to master. And I have no idea when that will happen, the release cycle seems to be quite slow.

https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/blob/Dev/cpp/src/command_classes/ManufacturerProprietary.cpp

Until then I cannot get/set the tilt of the venetian blings in Home Assistant. Which is a major bummer as summer is here. So my idea was: If I can send/receive the raw messages via python-openzwave, I could implement the additional command class as an extension to Home Assistant on top of python-openzwave. Thus I would  not depend on a new release of the openzwave library.

I'm also open for alternative solutions to the problem...

Best Regards,

Christian

Hi,

Seems that your code is in Dev branch of openzwave

You can use the ozwdev or ozwdev_shared flavor
