Hassbian 0.55.0 zwave error

espjak · October 9, 2017, 6:24pm

hi there!

I have tried for weeks to install home assistant. both the all in one installer and hassbian.

As for now I have settled on hassbian since this is the easiest to install. I have this error in the states page regarding zwave:

“The following components and platforms could not be set up:
zwave
Please check your config”

the log reads:

“ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [zwave]: expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘zwave’]. Got ‘usb_path:/dev/ttyACM0’. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/zwave/”

the configurations.yaml reads:

"zwave:
usb_path:/dev/ttyACM0 "

And yes, I have checked if its ACM0 or 1 or whatever…

I feel like i have tried anything so far with updating home assistant, reinstalling, turning on and off, installing open z-wave etc.

BUT!
The funny thing is I had this problem on friday, but suddenly everything worked as it should on saturday. Unluckily I probably messed around with it to much so it crashed, and then i reinstalled the image. The reinstall was also on saturday and still no luck getting it working on monday.

I am getting really frustrated now. Anyone having a clue?

My zwave config looks like this using AIO installation…

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
  config_path: /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/config
  new_entity_ids: true

Note the spaces (particularly after the :'s) and no tabs and no double quotes, as yaml is very picky over tabs (don’t use them) and spaces

thank you for your fast reply

I pasted your config and home assistant currently wont load

What’s in the log? Also please post your config using the </> button (select your code before pressing it and leave a blank line either side)

It only says some old stuff, actually… (My time is currently 20.44)

Looks like you need a space between usb_path: and /dev.

make sure usb_path is indented by two spaces and zwave has no indention.

Finally, did you install the dependency? https://home-assistant.io/docs/z-wave/

espjak · October 9, 2017, 6:54pm

installing the dependency…:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libudev-dev is already the newest version (232-25+deb9u1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

currently configurations.yaml:

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM

AND current error:

Place two spaces before usb_path.

espjak · October 9, 2017, 7:07pm

thank you for noticing. I have fixed the spaces.

Still this in the log:

In what you are posting your usb_path is changing. Is this intentional? Are you sure that is the correct path?

Also note that on restart of HA or a reboot of your hardware it can change the path. Make sure its correct after HA starts.

espjak · October 9, 2017, 7:21pm

It was not intentional… Now that is fixed and the log again reads:

2017-10-09 19:19:30 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [zwave]: expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data['zwave']. Got 'usb_path:/dev/ttyACM0'. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/zwave/
2017-10-09 19:19:30 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for zwave: Invalid config.

silvrr · October 9, 2017, 8:22pm

That still reads like you don’t have the usb_path: indented. Also double check that you have a space after usb_path:

Indents and spacing are critical when setting up the yaml file. Pay close attention to how the example docs are spaced and follow their lead.

espjak · October 9, 2017, 9:02pm

I copied the ex. Docs and it worked

Thank you for your patience!
