Failing to setup EnOcean Hub

Configuration
1

Hi Home Assistant users,

I could do with some assistants!

I am trying to configure my EnOcean USB 300 USB gateway in HA but I get this message from HA States page

Invalid Config
The following components and platforms could not be set up:
enocean

Please check your config

I have installed Home Assistant on Volumio 2 (Raspbian Jessie) on a Rpi3 according to instructions found on here i.e I have HA in virtual environment and I have added user homeassistant to dialout grupe.

My USB 300 USB gateway has the path /dev/ttyUSB0 and my entry in configuration.yaml looks like this:

# EnOcean

  device: /dev/ttyUSB0```

(there are two blank spaces in front of "device:" but I can't get the forum formatting to show it correctly)

I have verified with a python 3 script that I can talk to /dev/ttyUSB0 (open, write, close from within HA virtual environment).

If I open HA log I get one error message at the end that looks like it could have something to do with my problem but I am not sure (see log below).

Is there anybody who has any idea what could be wrong?!

If I do a google search on “UnicodeDecodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t decode byte 0xc2” I get answers like this

"You need to decode data from input string into unicode, before using it, to avoid encoding problems.

field.text = data.decode(“utf8”)"

I also found this;

Home Assistant breaking change 0.44 (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/releases/tag/0.44)

Fixes utf-8 encoding no longer required by python-openzwave0.3.3 (@keatontaylor - #7266) (climate.zwave docs) (breaking change)

It kind of sound like the Z-Wave plug-in had a similar problem.

Any input would be appreciated!

… so I did a re-install on the Pi3 with Raspian Jessie Lite and Home Assistant is no longer complaining. It appears that Volumio 2’s Jessie image is the “culprit” her. I assume this has something to do with unicode/utf8 decoding but I am not sure

The question is, can Volumio 2 and Home Assistant with EnOcean be made to work together?
