Remarks

This method creates a Driver object for handling communications with a single Z-Wave controller. In the background, the driver first tries to read configuration data saved during a previous run. It then queries the controller directly for any missing information, and a refresh of the list of nodes that it controls. Once this information has been received, a DriverReady notification callback is sent, containing the Home ID of the controller. This Home ID is required by most of the OpenZWave Manager class methods.
