I am not seeing the Z-Wave devices on my UI when restarting my HA Service. Only after executing a ‘RELOAD GROUPS’ will I see the Z-wave controls.
Note, I had to resort to using Socat as a client relay service for the Z-Wave protocol between HA running on a CentOS 7 VM and my Z-Stick plugged into a RPi.
No hints that I can see from the log, but I am probably not qualified to makes any type of interpretation from the log. Any suggestions on what I can do?
I believe I found the issue. For my Sensor configuration I was using something similar to this:
default_view:
view: true
icon: mdi:home
entities:
- group.all_sensors
- group.all_switches
all_sensors:
name: Sensors
control: hidden
entities:
- sun.sun
all_switches:
name: Switches
control: hidden
entities:
- sun.sun
Only the group.all_sensors would appear upon a restart of HA unless I reloaded the modules. It turned out that by renaming all_sensors for sensors and all_switches for switches, that fixed my problem. It does state in the docs: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/group/ that those groups are special groups but I did not realize that they could behave oddly.
