The two parts are working together now.

Engen
A server that talks to a Z-Wave controller.  Running on Windows and Linux now.

OneRemote
A customizeable menu for Android.  You can use it, for example, to create a Category called Lighting, and under it, create buttons for each device.  You can add two links (one for on, one for off).  The links look like this:
http://localhost:52110/alpha000/basic_set?node=7,value=100
This tells Engen to set node 7 to 100% (on).

Status
The initial implementation is for lighting control.  

We have an install package for Engen.  You can download and execute to install on Windows when it is available.  This is similar to installing MC.  It installs a service, opens the firewall for inbound access on 52110, and installs an icon in the system tray.  Right click the icon for more options, including a terminal program that can talk to the server.  Type help() to get commands.

Engen has a Web Services interface, so any browser can also control it.  Click on the links below to see examples.  Node is the number of the device.  Value is the % setting (0 is off, 100 is on).

      Set the brightness of node 4 to 80%.
     
      Set the color of node 7 to be bright green.
     
      Set the color of node 7 to be red=45%, blue=50%.

Scenes are working now.  You can assign a set of lights and their current values to a single button.

We have support for a physical remote, the Aeon Minimote.  It has four buttons, with two states each (click or hold) so you could assign it eight scenes or devices.

This week, we began shipping the Id Pi.  Our first product is shipped on a microSD card and includes the OS, the Id software, and Engen.  It's bootable, so you can put the card in a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and the Pi will become a server for both audio and lighting.

Scheduling is available.  So is support for button controllers.
