OpenZWave supports Linux, and with mono it's possible to run .Net applications. What steps are needed to make this library Linux compatible?

Due to the native dependency of this library, it's quite a big task to add support for other platforms. One thing to keep in mind is that this isn't really a .NET Library. This is a C++/CLI library on Windows and C++/CX library on UWP. These types of C++ libraries just work straight against a .NET component on Windows.

Making this work on Linux would essentially be a complete rewrite of the library by wrapping openzwave in a C-API Library and then write a .NET p/invoke layer on top. This is A LOT of work to build and maintain, and quite error prone, and I personally do not have the resources to undertake such a huge task.
