Making own Z-Wave (or Zigbee) device from scratch and assemble a Z-Wave (or Zigbee/Matter) controller
We will program a Z-Wave or a Zigbee device and add it into a Z-Way smart home controller installed on Linux or flashed into an ESP32.
We will be making own Z-Wave and Z-Wave Long Range devices Z-Wave Open Source SDK an Trident IoT SDK. It will also be possible to do Zigbee devices.
We will program a sensor and a switch using Z-Wave protocol and include it in a Z-Wave network. Or Zigbee.
We will also browse the Z-Wave Open Source project, and how existing Trident IoT and SiLabs code differ from them.
We will also install Linux version of Z-Way - Z-Wave/Zigbee/Matter Smart Home Controller. You will learn basics of Z-Wave and Z-Wave Long Range, how to include devices and set up security schemes.
We will also master using Z-Way smart home controller, investigate it's API and create own Linux or ESP32-based Z-Wave or Zigbee controller. We will also discuss Z-Wave/Zigbee-to-Matter bridging.
You will need a laptop (Linux, Mac or Windows) with SSH client, USB A, Google Chrome and internet access. Optionally you can use VS Code (install Trident IoT extension).
Bring your Z-Wave devices with you! If you have Home Assistant Connect ZWA-2, take it too!

Learn modern OpenPGP with the new RFC 9580 and Sequoia’s sq CLI. In two hours you’ll generate a v6 certificate, create a revocation cert, and practice daily ops: encrypt/decrypt, sign/verify, and publish via WKD/keyservers. We’ll cover Web-of-Trust basics (link vs vouch, trusted introducers, approvals) and note a GnuPG/v4 compatibility path. Optional: quick smart-card demo. Bring: laptop with terminal, email address; Sequoia sq preferred.
