Hardware setup:
PC - Old Dell 1505E with a fresh Windows 7 32bit (x86) install of OSA 3.8

Aeon Labs Z-stick Series 2 USB Dongle

GE 45605 Z-Wave Outdoor Module

=========================================
So before doing anything with OSA, I went to the Aeon Labs website to install the driver for the dongle. I downloaded "Drivers - Windows 7" as underlined below.

This is pretty straightforward- no need to document these steps, but here's what it looks like once complete.

And just to double check it, or if you didn't remember which COM it's attached to, you can go to Start -> Right click "Computer"-> Manage
and then under Device Manager you should see it.

So after this was complete. I disconnected the dongle from the PC and then pressed the button until the light started flashing. I then walked up to my GE Outlet and pressed the button on it GE Outlet until the dongle flashed a few times quickly. The dongle is now aware of the GE Plug, and we are cooking with gas.
So after the clean install of OSA 3.8, my OSA Manager looks like follows:

So now I go and get the Z-Wave plugin found here http://www.opensourceautomation.com/plu ... 12273b8758

After I download the ZWave_0.3.21.osapp file from the plug-in page, I go to the OSA directory and run the "PluginInstaller.exe"

Once opened, I clicked the install button in the top corner and found where I had saved the ZWave_0.3.21.osapp file.

Then I clicked Install

Package installed

Now after this happened, I restarted OSA and can now see the plugin. With the OSA stopped, I click the settings button.

When this pop-up, I set Debugging to TRUE

So I crank up OSA and make sure the plugin is running, and it is writing a log file now to the \OSA\Logs directory called "ZWave.log". Since the plugin is running and writing logs, I stop OSA again. Now I go to the "[Official Thread] Z-Wave Plugin Support Thread" found herehttp://www.opensourceautomation.com/php ... d-t93.html and download the OZWForm.zip file in the first post.

I extract the zip file and place the OZWForm.exe file in the plugin directory.

I go ahead and run the OZWForm.exe (I have two switches connected to the Dongle, but only Node 3 is plugged in at the moment)

and after it finds the nodes, I am successfully able to right click on Node 3, click properties and can turn the lights connected to the GE switch On and Off.

So this is as far as I've gotten. I've set up a basic screen in the OSA GUI, and after following the videos I start with attempting to add control -> State Image and set one up for a ZWave binary switch, and even at this step i attempt to click the little light bulb icon on and off like the video is able to do with the TV object, and it doesn't turn on and off. I am a complete newb to this, but definitely dedicated to getting this thing rocking and making one of the best set-up with full demo's and doco...just need a hand from here.
If there is a step I missed along the way, please point it out and I will go through and update the doco to what it should be for the next batch of newbs that come around.
