I’m brand new to home assistant and I’m trying to add my schlage lock to it through the above addon. I have the nortek husbzb-1 usb stick. I’m trying to follow the documentation, I installed the addon but I’m having issues in the webui resulting in the following log error:
INFO ZWAVE: Controller status: Driver: Failed to initialize the driver: Timeout while waiting for an ACK from the controller
I’m not sure if it’s related to it but I don’t know if I am inputting the correct settings in the webui. For the serial port I believe I’m supposed to put:
And I believe I’m supposed to leave the network key blank? Or where would I find that? If anyone could slowly walk a novice through this process it would be greatly appreciated!
I understand your frustration. I’m fairly new as well and just went through this last week.
In the GUI, I put in the full string as you have it above specific for your device. For the network key, I clicked on the button to the right that looks like two arrows going in a circle which created a network key. That seemed to do the trick for me. Once I got that setup, the rest was easy going. I’m having an issue with some of my devices not registering, but for the most part it’s working good.
1 - Make sure only one instance of Zwave is running in addons. IE you can’t have Zwavejs & Zwavejs2mqtt running at the same time (or any other zwave addon) as only one can use the usb stick at a time.
2 - Supervisor–>System (top tab) and then click the 3 little buttons on the bottom of the Host card, it should say hardware and will pop up a list of all your hardware. This should exist in the list “/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Home_Controller_C1300F7C-if00-port0” if that is what you are entering as the usb port. If it doesn’t exist then you need to find it in the list (it will begin with /dev/serial/by-id/)
