Home Assistant release (hass --version
):
0.61.1 (hassio version 1.0.1)
Component/platform:
zwave config
Description of problem:
I downloaded the hass.io HA Raspberry Pi image.
It mostly worked out of the box with no config (detecting all my Sonos, Chromecast, etc).
But the Zwave config was a guessing game of figuring out which /dev/tty vs /dev/ttyUSB0 vs /dev/ttyACM0 device I was supposed to use. (The ssh daemon’s docker container led me astray, since its /dev wasn’t the same /dev available to HA)
I was going to suggest better docs for hass.io Zwave users, but really:
Why can’t it be automatic, like Sonos/Chromecast/etc are?
There are a handful of popular Zwave sticks. Can hass.io use lsusb or read /sys/bus/usb/devices/ and sniff for a hard-coded set of popular Zwave USB product/device IDs and automatically enable the zwave component & config?
Expected:
Zwave working on hass.io with no config, if USB stick is present.
