I want to write my own program to control it, where can I find basic start point information, like how to communicate with it on USB bus?

ZenSys keeps the SDK, and HDK locked down to developers only. The SDK is very cost prohibitive for the average user. The best you are going to find is either OpenZWave.org, or an old commercial package by HomeSettings. It installed a DLL you could build on. It wouldn't be able to use some of the new z-wave devices such as locks, and because the DLL doesn't have the new capabilities coded with z-wave firmware version 3.2, you would get base functionality only.

The way I did was using the ZWave4J API, which is a Java wrapper on top of C++ OpenZWave. I have it running on Windows 7 PC and Raspberry Pi. Note that ZWave protocol is not public, it was reverse engineered by the OpenZWave guys for their implementation, so it's very hard to go lower level than that if for whatever crazy reason you want to.

You don't really "program it" but set up the unit to understand what models of units and which inputs and outputs attach everything together. Then the unit issues the commands to power on and activate the proper inputs and outputs. The website has tens of thousands of devices in its database.

There are several programs you can use through a USB/DMX interface box. Check out Ableton Live. That's what we use to program our stage show that's all linked to a click. This is an example of how I used four of these modules to illuminate my drums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEjoj3z5cV4

No to the first answer. I never tried triggering via USB but I doubt that unless you maybe find some other software that can do that.

Could you provide the USB API or library (Make a call and end signal, voice data..)?I would like integrate our small callcenter solutuons.

The manual has very little information in it. Just plug the unit in and use it. It doesn't require programming.

Depends on how extensive you want your control to be. If you want one that gives you control over the radio as well as digital programs (assuming you have something for audio interface) then programs like FLDigi and my favorite is Ham Radio Deluxe (hunt around the web and you can still find the latest Version 5 that was still free. Of you want to just do basic programming, there are a slew of programs for it. As for compatibility with Win 8.1, that I can not answer, I run Win XP, Win7 and Linux (FLDigi only) Darryle

There's programs u can get that will allow u to assign commands to controllers yes

No printed user guide but everything one needs can be found within the laptop. Sorry, I am not that techno-ish so can answer only basic questions. A friend set it up for me. Hope this helped.

You can control this from a microcontroller (board), it wouldn't matter if it's a PC or a Mac or Linux. as long as the software supported talking to that microcontroller (board). If you know nothing about microcontroller boards, I recommend you start with an Arduino. There is a lot of information on the Internet about controlling electronics via Arduino. the website http://arduino.cc is a great place to start. In fact there are many videos about controlling this particular relay from arduino across YT.

There is a USB port labeled service terminal. But I don't know its function. I just use the usual red/white/yellow cord inputs.

You can purchase a free standing drive unit that connects by USB. I have one and used it to load programs.

Underneath there's a button. press it then reset your computer making sure usb is in port first. Then goto control panel and click on mouse then see in setting that it has configured.

All I received was the Quick Start Guide which is worth very little-- trying to program using that is a nightmare and can't figure it out.-------Would love a printed user manual if one is available.

There must be a quick start guide that comes with the unit, as I remember reading about the changes to the device. It is also available on the HP web site along with some articles on more sophisticated uses such as programming the device. Search using the term "guide" rather than "manual". That fooled me for awhile.

If want to use your computer to program or control the unit and the computer does not have a serial port, then you will need a either a serial to usb adapter. I bought a Trendndet usb to db9 adapter through Amazon. Or you can buy a uniden adapter (which you can get from Amazon) however it cost three or four time the money.

Sorry, my android decided I was done. It works fine for manually controlling the unit and is an easy way to make sure the unit is working. I didn't use the scripting interface though. Once I got it working with the demo, I wrote my own software to control it. It's an easy interface to program for if you're familiar with using serial ports from software.
