Also Dr Z-Waves blog link text
Makes for interesting reading.
It's attractively priced at $64.95 and might be a Z-UNO alternative? -
Interesting. I had read through all the official docs and I couldn’t see anything about what language it uses.
Finally found this in the Dr Z-Waves blog:
” Writing code for the TBZ definitely requires strong C programming skills. This is not a kit for an average Z-Wave user without strong programming skills. There is a steep learning curve to learn how to use the Z-Wave Application Firmware (ZAF) so only experienced programmers should take this on.”

The real problem for Zwave is that you’ll need to re-pair the device every time you add a new capability. I’m not sure this is worth for the hobbist. Plus, this is probably so low level that you’ll need to study the whole protocol for an hello world sensor… nonetheless, it’s interesting for people trying to prototype things, I guess.

I just ordered one. Will report when it arrives and I make progress.
