Activate Z-Wave fails - DriverFailed

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I have home assistant running on a raspberry pi 4.
System: HassOS 3.7
Version: 193

I added the Aeotec Gen5 Z-wave stick.

Then I added Z-Wave under integrations.
And added the following to my configuration.yaml:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyAMA0

When I go to my Z-wave settings I see this:

z-wave
z-wave1385×883 66.5 KB

When I click “Start network” it doesn’t start. And this is the OZW log:

Does anyone has an idea what the problem is?

Find a cheap or old usb hub, and use that then it would work.

I have to search for one but I will definitely try

4

You don’t need to have both.
It’s a bit “easier” to save network key if using configuration.yaml. I’m not sure where you can look what kind of key the integration part creates.

Personally using from the integrations menu.

5

I have exactly same problem. Any ideas?

6

Your answer is here from post 2. :slight_smile:

7

I haven’t found a hub so I ordered one. Will give an update when it arrives.

8

Now it’s tested with usb hub and still same situation - Driver Failed
To be sure, I created new clean HassOS 3.8 install and tried adding Aeotec,
exactly same result.
When I test Aeotec stick on PC with Zensys Tools, it’s working - I can add nodes,
but with HA it refuses to start

9

Make sure the /dev/tty is correct

10

This will never be the path for a USB Z-stick. Use /dev/ttyACM0 or preferably, since this is a Aeotec, use /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00.

11

I connect only Aeotec stick to Pi4
Under Hass.io > SYSTEM > HARDWARE I see only: /dev/ttyAMA0
I added Z-Wave under integrations with this and it reports Success

12

If you are getting Notification: DriverFailed that wouldn’t be a success tho.

13

Thank you so much!
With /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00 my Z-wave started working :slight_smile:
From where you took this address?

14

For other people looking for the answer to this question, you can find the serial address on HassIo by using the ha hardware info command and the address is in the serial section;

serial:
- /dev/ttyAMA0
- /dev/ttyACM0
- /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00
15

I have same problem with a Raspi 4, 4Gb but with Zwave razberry GPIO module.
HHome Assistant OS 5.9 / Supervisor 2020.12.7
I get all the time DriverFailed.
I think I tried everything. Now I thinking about an installation without Hassio.
I readed in HA documentation that under Docker is not working well this kind of modules. It is recommended USB.
I´m sure HW is working because I tried before with OpenHAB and all was functional.
I don´t really know what to do else… Any idea?

Thanks in advace

I think you have to disable BlueTooth on the Pi4 to use the Razberry board
Check:

thanks for quick answer. it worked.:wink:
I disabled BT before but was missing this command
dtoverlay=uart1
