Attempting to set up initial Z-Wave configuration, and use it with an outlett

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I am trying to configure a Z-Wave Plus dongle (the Nortek GoControl CECOMINOD016164 HUSBZB-1 USB Hub, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GJ826F8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and to make it work with a pair of Schlage RP200 Z-Wave outlets.

I have not used Zwave before, and am a relative novice on Home Assistant, so please feel free to talk to me like an idiot who doesn’t know what I’m talking about.

After all this, I picked up a NuTone NPD300Z, and attempted to add it by following the instructions in the box, but nothing happened at all.

I am running Home Assistant / HassIO (verson 0.98.5, all-in-one installer) fresh install on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.

Per the directions in https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/z-wave/, I went into Configuration–>Integrations and added “Z-Wave: Z-Wave” [sic].

Then plugged in the dongle, & restated.

I then used “hassio hardware info” to determine where the dongle was attached.

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Controller_513000A7-if00-port0
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Controller_513000A7-if01-port0
/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB1
/dev/ttyAMA0   [[[----> THIS ONE FOR Z-WAVE.]]]

I then went into Configuration --> Z-Wave, and attemped to set it up. Neither of the top two options would work (even though it seems clear that these are what I am looking for), throwing an error that I foolishly did not write down.

I therefore tried the rest of them. When I used /dev/ttyAMA0, the set up accepted that, and let me continue. I then hit Start Network, and it just spins forever.

Note that I did run through the full factory reset process on the the outlets at several points.

I also rebooted the Pi after most of those steps.

I have attached OZW_Log.txt.

I am at a total loss how to proceed. I’ve read through all the documentation I can find, and none f it seemed to help. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE: Per this page (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R170GQNXYR3IUH/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_btm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01GJ826F8#wasThisHelpful) this dongle does work on HA, but the files he edited (in 2017) don’t seem to exist in the current version of HA.

nano /config/configuration.yaml
Added the following:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/zwave
zigbee:
  device: /dev/zigbee
2

I’m new at z-wave also… so anyone feel free to add more or more correct information:
But for my HUSBZB-1 I used:


zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB0
zigbee:
  device: /dev/ttyUSB1

But I am using an intel NUC not a pi so I don’t know if that matters

This thread maybe of use also:
