Introduction#

NOTE: This section replaces INS14280: Z-Wave Getting Started for End Devices. Further updates to this document will be provided here.

This document describes how to get started with Z-Wave development for end devices using Simplicity Studio.

Audience and Prerequisites#

Developers new to Z-Wave will get an introduction to the Z-Wave Development Kit. Developers already familiar with Z-Wave will still benefit from reading this guide, as it demonstrates the new development tools. Common for all developers is that everyone will get a smooth and quick start with Z-Wave development.

There are no prerequisites. It is, however, strongly recommended that one purchase the Z-Wave Development Kit as the development environment auto-discovers hardware and sets itself up accordingly. However, it is possible to have a look and feel of the software package without buying the Development Kit.
