HUSBZB-1 & Aeon Z Stick Gen 5 Together

Has anyone added a HUSBZB-1 (zwave&zigbee) stick along side an existing Aeon Z Stick Gen 5 in their HA setup? Is it possible to do?

I already have an Aeon Z Stick Gen 5 on my current setup with close to 40 zwave devices. I recently received an HUSBZB-1 which I would like to take advantage of the zigbee aspect of it. I haven’t found or at least I don’t think there is an easy way to move my current Aeon Z Stick zwave setup over to the HUSBZB-1 without re-pairing so I was thinking maybe I could just plug in the HUSZBZ-1 and use the zigbee part.

I am concerned that since the HUSBZB-1 has a dual usb port recognition for the zwave & zigbee then just plugging it in Home Assistant might get messed up seeing two potential zwave connections. Is it possible that when attaching the HUSBZB-1 Raspbian is smart enough to assign it something other than /dev/ttyACM0 so it doesn’t conflict with my current setup? Would it possibly set up /dev/ttyACM0 for current zwave setup for Aeon stick, /dev/ttyACM1 for HUSBZB-1 zwave and /dev/ttyACM2 for the HUSBZB-1 zigbee? (sorry, not well versed enough in Linux to know exactly what might happen) Thx

You will likely want to use udev rules to make sure zwave always point to the correct stick. http://hintshop.ludvig.co.nz/show/persistent-names-usb-serial-devices/

In case anyone is interested, I was able to connect my HUSBZB-1 stick along side my existing Aeon Z Stick Gen 5 and utilize just the zigbee portion of it. However since I am on the pre Dec 2016 AIO my database_path was slightly different. I had to use the path of hass instead of homeassistant

zha:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB1
  database_path: /home/hass/.homeassistant/zigbee.db

So I just did this because I wanted to migrate off the z-stick onto the husbzb-1 and have my zwave and zigbee networks on the same stick. Here’s what I did.

I started 2 instances of ozwcp

./ozwcp -p8888&
./ozwcp -p8889&

I opened up two browser tabs, one to each port. One I initialized /dev/ttyACM0 (zstick) and the other I initialized /dev/ttyUSB0 (husbzb-1) I don’t remember exactly what got the husbzb-1 onto my network but once it was there I was able demote the zstick to slave and promote the husbzb-1 to primary. Now, the husbzb is controlling everything and I switched my zwave settings in configuration.yaml to use /etc/ttyUSB0. at some point I munged up my custom device names but with only 27 nodes it wasn’t hard to fix. Beats excluding and including every single device again.

Now, where I’m having problems is on the zigbee side. I’ve been trying to get an NYCE door hinge to work. I have the zigbee radio working as I can initiate a permit in HASS and start the pairing process on the hinge. The led shows some action and it says configuration was transferred but then goes back to pairing mode. However HASS picks up the info and shows the NYCE binary sensor although it doesn’t register hing opens and closes. Plus you query the hinge and it thinks it’s not connected. So far this is my first attempt at a zigbee pairing. It’s acting similar to how a zwave lock acts when you don’t specify a network key. it pairs but is unresponsive.

you think is possible to pass zwave data to HASSIO in other device?

Sorry, I am not familiar enough with HASSIO to know if that is possible.
