Cannot install pyozw

Configuration
1

I am trying to install the z-wave integration but its not working. I’m on a RP3+ running Raspbian buster. Since I could not install it via the browser app, I tried to install it directly, again, without success. Here are the error messages:

Any suggestions to correct this will be greatly appreciated.

Try this: sudo apt-get install libudev-dev and then pip install pyozw You shouldn’t need sudo to install pip packages.

I was having a similar problem and found a solution at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52949531/could-not-install-packages-due-to-an-environmenterror-errno-13. Briefly, my solution was to use

pip3 install homeassistant-pyozw --user
