We looked at lighting sensors and devices used for home automation. Let's go back to our home automation application to extend its use cases by connecting our Z-Wave wall plug to a desk lamp and using a Z-Wave lamp holder to read illumination values from a remote Z-Wave sensor.
In the previous chapter, we just made a brief introduction to using Z-Wave devices with a Z-Wave USB controller. During the course of this chapter, we will learn more about Z-Wave commands and how to control lighting devices from our Z-Wave USB controller.
The following picture shows our new device, a Z-Wave lamp holder produced by Everspring. We have included it in the Z-Wave network, as defined in the previous chapter, and we will add the ability to switch on and switch off the device remotely from Intel Galileo.
Our next circuit is a desk lamp attached to a Z-Wave wall plug from Fibaro. We have already included the device in our Z-Wave network. We will add...
