Testing a basic Zwave setup for the first time

I have myself ordered a Zwave.me USB stick and an Aeotec MultiSensor 6 to start building my sensor network at home. There are a few tools out there to get you started with Zwave on a Raspberry Pi, or see my howto. But the issue I had was that I was not able to see the technical configuration of my hardware devices. There is a script called api_help.py that comes with the python_openzwave library, that I have slightly modified so that it prints the useful information in a friendly way.

Output:
