I've just ordered some Z-Wave components from Zwave4U and I've been looking around for some software to control them. If I want Linux open source (which I do), then I seem to have 2 choices, one is the homedaemon software, and the other is LinuxMCE. I'm going to start with LinuxMCE as it seems more active in the ZWave space and has support for the USB device that I've bought (Aeon). I don't really want to install all of LinuxMCE as I already have a media centre, but chatting on the forums, I understand that I can run just the DCERouter/mysql and I should be good to go with MessageSend. I don't like mysql but I will live with that for now, I suspect that the SQL needed by the DCERouter is not that complicated/mysql specific and could be ported fairly easily.
To start with I will download the trunk for LinuxMCE. Takes a long time as there is a lot of stuff that I do not want, and will delete later.
