Hi Paul

This was posted at Coocoontech regarding ZWAVE and xAP.......By Michael Mc

I opened up my xap-xpl hub to add some bridging for a user on the HS board
and added the xpl zwave.basic bridge to xAP xapbsc schema mapping for
anyone
who would like to try the xPL Zwave implementation in an xAP environment. I
dont have any zwave hardware so successful operations will likely be a
cooperative effort.
