I’ve come to the forum a number of times trying to get a Pi and HASSOS running with a Pi4 and Razberry Zwave board.
No matter what I try, I can’t get the board to recognize and find my Zooz switches.
I edited the boot to recognize my WiFi network properly, so that’s good. I then followed these instructions to the letter:
I’ve gone down one rabbit hole after another chasing conflicting documentation that may or may not be current, and tried different integrations (ZwaveJS and ZwaveJS to MQTT), trying to find out what I’m doing wrong or get a usable GUI interface.
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ADAPT TO TECHNOLOGY
Per the founder’s goal of HA, this system is supposed to be easy, approachable and usable. I’m finding it to be anything but that.
It just shouldn’t be this hard, especially with a popular board (Razberry) that operates one of the most popular systems (Zwave).
I have the UI for ZwavetoMQTT, there’s no UI for ZwaveJS, but I have no idea if there’s supposed to be one. For some reason, nothing seems to work. See my screen shots below, perhaps they’ll help diagnose.
Yeah, I recognized that something was missing, but I just don’t know what it’s asking me for, or even what or where to enter it. That’s the part I need help with for the moment. This is probably my 5th (or more) attempt to configure HASSOS with various iterations trying to connect with the serial integration, and so on. I just don’t know where to go from here. The instructions for this seemed so simple, but it just doesn’t work, and trying to do some self-help (because the default rebuke from the more knowledgeable guys is RTFM) led me down a bunch of dead-end rabbit holes.
If you can just point me to what I need to do, it’d be helpful.
Those are the instructions I followed to the letter, inserting the commands at the end of the config file. I even (per other offsite instructions) booted, installed and configured HA (location, elevation, etc.) without the board, rebooted, shut down, reinstalled the board, and started again. No bueno.
I also tried with an Aeotech USB stick, likewise with no success with the same problems as above regarding the driver path.
Oh, FFS. So, I had no idea that I still needed to install the GUI component. The instructions are absolutely silent about needing to go from the Integration back to the Configuration page to add the front end. The moment I did that, my switches showed up immediately.
