ZWManagerAddDriver Method (String, ZWControllerInterface)

Creates a new driver for a Z-Wave controller.

Namespace: OpenZWave
Assembly: OpenZWave (in OpenZWave.dll) Version: 255.255.255.255

Syntax

public bool AddDriver(
	string serialPortName,
	ZWControllerInterface interfaceType
)

Public Function AddDriver ( 
	serialPortName As String,
	interfaceType As ZWControllerInterface
) As Boolean

public:
virtual bool AddDriver(
	[InAttribute] String^ serialPortName, 
	[InAttribute] ZWControllerInterface interfaceType
) sealed

Parameters

serialPortName: Type: SystemString
The string used to open the serial port, for example "\\.\COM3".
interfaceType: Type: OpenZWaveZWControllerInterface
Specifies whether this is a serial or HID interface (default is serial).

Return Value

Type: Boolean
True if a new driver was created, false if a driver for the controller already exists.

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.
