Configure Z-Wave usb on R-Pi 3 using Hassio

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I’m new to Hassio but are use to using Openhab 1.8 on a CentOS server.

I plan to migrate from Openhab to Hassio on a Raspberry Pi 3 specially purchased for controlling all my Z-Wave devices. Installation of Hassio is fairly straight forward and no problem. When trying to connect with my z-wave I fail to do so. The Z-Wave stick used is a “Aeotec Z-Stick Series 2” which works fine on the openhab installation, but I can’t find the stick on the Raspberry Pi 3.

What did I miss? Can anyone help out please?

I added
zwave:
To the config with and without the path to the device.

I can’t find any /dev/ttyusb* device.

2

Is discovery mode on?

3

Initial z-wave setup on Hass.io can take up to 30mins.

What errors if any are in your homeassistant.log ?

4

Discovery mode is on, hassio detects other (none z-wave) devices.

5

none so far

Somehow I suspect the problem is that there is no device mapping created in /dev , but I might be wrong:

See the listing of /dev

core-ssh:/dev# ls -la /dev

While the USB stick is somewhat recognized see part of the output of dmesg

I did follow this but the problem is that my Pi doesn’t show any device of such in /dev. So adding it to the config as metioned is not going to work. :frowning:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
  new_entity_ids: true

This how I’ve set mine up in HASS.IO

For hassio, run hassio host hardware while you’re ssh’ed into the ssh addon and you should see the list of serial devices visible by your hassio machine. Remember to restart :slight_smile:
