Expanded Firmware Support in zwave-js-server

[pnpebeling]

Before the project moves away from V4, how difficult would it be to include a zwave-js-server with expanded firmware support? There are numerous firmware APIs that are not exposed by js-server and thus unavailable in ZWaveJS.NET. I'm not necessarily asking for a roll of ZWaveJS.NET, just a version which includes a JS-server in which the firmware APIs are available. I have made one or two custom additions to ZWaveJS.NET, so I'm relatively confident I can add the additional firmware support in ZWaveJS.NET, but without server support I'm stuck. thanks

Hi @pnpebeling

The server its self - is not my project, it's a project indeed of the org, but not in my tent so to speak of the camp.

@AlCalzone, @raman325 ?

@pnpebeling
Evan if it doesn't make it into V4 (V5 is under way) - unlikely sorry (unless its a simple implementation)
you can use the MethodFactory class to add support - I added MethodFactory so consumers can add new methods, that it does not ship with.

MethodFactory example:

var NewMethod = ZWaveJS.NET.MethodFactory.CreatePRIMITIVE(DriverInstance,"controller.some_not_baked_in_method","result.some_path");

Dictionary<string,object> Args = new Dictionary<string, object>();
Args.Add("nodeId",5);
Args.Add("data", new byte[2]{0x01,0x02});

NewMethod(Args).ContinueWith(....) // primitive

Excluding messageId & command (these are handled internally) your Args object is simply the properties that the command needs to execute.

• CreateVOID
• CreatePRIMITIVE
• CreateCLASS (asks for the Type to cast to, once the result has been returned)

The resulting value from the path, is what is evaluated

Hope this helps

Can you share which APIs are missing? I found one controller.getAllAvailableFirmwareUpdates, are there others?

Thanks all !!!

It looks like I missed the node.updateFirmware API taking a file reference.

can we mark this as resolved somehow?

Unsubscribe from the conversation - I think will stop the alerts.

I don't see what Discussions look like like from the authors view
