Trying CQC, need help with buttons

[Deane Johnson]

In seeing if I can manage CQC, I'm trying to put a on and an off button on a screen and have them turn a Z-Wave light on and off. A real one, not a simulator.

I've loaded the VRC0P driver and it's shows it's connected to the proper COM port.

My simple mind says I should be able to go to the Interface template editor, make a command button, select the VRC0P driver as a device and get a list of the actions it can control by action and node number. Obviously, I don't get any such thing so I must be way, way off track.

I have watched videos today until my eyes burn and haven't found the answer.

My approach in evaluating my ability to use CQC is to set up simple tasks using my peripherals. If I can turn a single light on and off with a button on my iPad interface, I can obviously expand it to my entire system at a later time.

One thing that throws me a little is not understanding Dean's abbreviations, but I'll have to learn to live with that.

I will say the software is more plug and play than I expected, but I can't figure out what to plug in order to play.
