Installation on Raspbian (Debian for Raspberry Pi)

You'll need a couple of well-supported packages (NodeJS and libudev-dev)

1. Install Node.js and libudev-dev

Download and install Node.js for Raspbian

wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb && sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb

Install libudev-dev

sudo apt-get install -y libudev-dev

2. Install the Open-Zwave library on your Raspberry:

You can take the easy route:

(New!) Download and install the precompiled Raspbian/ARMv6 packages for Raspberry 1:

wget "https://github.com/ekarak/openzwave-debs-raspbian/raw/master/v1.4.79/openzwave_1.4.79.gfaea7dd_armhf.deb"
wget "https://github.com/ekarak/openzwave-debs-raspbian/raw/master/v1.4.79/libopenzwave1.3_1.4.79.gfaea7dd_armhf.deb"
wget "https://github.com/ekarak/openzwave-debs-raspbian/raw/master/v1.4.79/libopenzwave1.3-dev_1.4.79.gfaea7dd_armhf.deb"
sudo dpkg -i *openzwave*.deb

Or you can choose Hercules' path of blight and

Download the OpenZWave Unix source from the official website

wget http://old.openzwave.com/downloads/openzwave-1.4.1.tar.gz

Untar

tar zxvf openzwave-*.gz

Compile Open-Zwave

cd openzwave-* && make && sudo make install

Update the environment variable

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

make it permanent by adding it to /etc/environment

sudo sed -i '$a LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib' /etc/environment

Refresh the dynamic libraries cache

sudo ldconfig

At this step you can ensure Open-Zwave library is correctly installed with

MinOZW

3. Install node-openzwave-shared

Go to your project directory

cd /<project directory>

npm node-openzwave-shared

npm install openzwave-shared

You can test node-openzwave-shared

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenZWave/node-openzwave-shared/master/test2.js
node test2.js
