After a long time I finally fixed it myself right after posting!
Not much of a linux person either so dont know how I did it.
Well found that in /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel was a config file I could only read in winscp
It was a symlink point to:
This doesnt exist on my setup. This does:
/srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.2-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config
So first I went to the directory the incorrect file is in:
/srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel
Renamed it:
sudo mv config configold
Created a new symlink:
sudo ln -s /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.2-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
Wow! It helped me too. For me it was now 0.3.3 as shown below also using WnSCP I was able to edit the link by right click on existing link and edit then just changed to 3 from 1 and all started working. Thanks a lot.
In my case is
sudo ln -s /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.3-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
Wow!! so many hours looking for a solution. Thats for posting. I had this issue with Hassbian v1.2. I pointed it to this directory /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave/config
joelphillips, can you please post the specific steps to fix this in Hassbian?
First rename that config file, right? sudo mv config configold
Then what command did you run?
In case any of this info is important, here’s what I’m seeing on my system… /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
is a symbolic link that points to /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.*/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.*-linux*.egg/config
It doesn’t exist but this does: /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.4.0.31-py3.4.egg-info
There is also a symbolic link named config at /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/
that points to /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.*/site-packages/libopenzwave-*-linux*.egg/config
/srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave/config
is a folder in that also includes a symbolic link named config that points to /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.*/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.*-linux*.egg/config
Figured it out sudo ln -s /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave/config /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
Finally wrapped my brain around the fact that I had the syntax for which file was pointing to which backwards in my head for ln. When I had it backwards and my brain was mush trying to figure out what all of this meant I created a symbolic link in /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave/config that points to /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.*/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.*-linux*.egg/config
I should delete that, right? Just making sure there isn’t supposed to be something else named config in that folder before I just delete it.
After a couple hours of failure (couldn’t find config error) trying to install openzwave with hassbian I gave up and went to bed. I tried again this morning and no luck (even compiled openzwave outside the venv) UNTIL I stumbled across your post. Many thanks for sharing the linking of the file.
Two posts above yours I posted what ended up fixing it for me (looks like it worked for reichley, too). It created a link here /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
that points to here /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave/config
What do you have here? /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
And you might want to check the config link you have in your first picture. I don’t know how to do that in that windows folder, but from a command line it’s ls -l
I’m still on version 0.43 partially because I was afraid the Z-wave changes in .44 & .45 might change this and I’m waiting for when I have a few hours to fix it, if that’s the case
Kind sir- the same directory exists on my machine - /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.2-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config
but! I do not seem to have a directory /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel
the only item in my /srv/homeassistant/ is homeassistant_venv, I don’t have /srv/homeassistant/src/
I’ve been using zwave for a while, but need to access the open zwave control panel now. Any idea where I should look?
thank you!
EDIT: Nevermind! As I have Home Assistant version 0.50 (and I bet a little older would be okay too) I was able to call add node secure from the front end.
Many thanks, helped me out as well. I had to change the symlink to the versions I had installed: sudo ln -s /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.3-py3.5-linux-armv7l.egg/config /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
That’s fixed me too - on version 52 so the command is now - sudo ln -s /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.3-py3.5-linux-armv7l.egg/config /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
Sorry to dredge up an old topic, but I’m having major issues with z-wave
I can open up the OZWCP fine, and it finds my device etc,
but then as soon as I add the lines
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
to my config.yaml file, I lose the front end. If I comment them out, the frontend comes back.
Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me insane!
I’ve tried with a fresh install of hassbian, fresh AiO install, everything else sets up fine, but as soon as I try and add zwave, I lose the front end.
home-assistant.log does not contain any errors at all.
