Just starting out, and I already hit a snag (again)

Hello everyone, to start off and hopefully make things simpler, I’ll describe what I am trying to do. I have a RPi 3 with a 32GB card that I have flashed HASSbian onto, a Linear HUSBZB-1 USB dongle, and a Linear/GOControl WNK01-21KIT (2x door sensors and a motion sensor). What I am trying to do is to set up the sensors to send out alerts via text when triggered, but at this point, just getting them to work is my next step.

So I’ve got HASSbian setup, and I have been using WinSCP to edit configuration.yaml. But, thus far, all that I’ve been able to successfully add has been
zwave: usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB1

Everything else has caused the HA web GUI to stop loading, for some reason. At first, because both ttyUSB0 and 1 were showing up, I actually thought my HUSBZB-1 was defective, because I had /ttyUSB0 in my config file. On a whim, I decided to switch it to 1, and Z-Wave suddenly showed up in the GUI, and I was thrilled! But, I soon hit another snag; I cannot, for the life of me, get these sensors to add. From the manual, it says to add the battery to the sensor, and it will be ready for the controller’s inclusion (shown with a flashing light). It says to prepare the Controller to include a unit by adding it to a group; then you must depress the tamper switch for a second, and the sensor will be added as a node. I must have tried this at least 15 times, and no joy. Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong? Here is the error I keep getting in the OZWlog, which keeps bringing up a HomeId?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, first try excluding the sensors. This kind of resets their brains so they can be included.

Second, don’t worry about groups right now on HA. Just do what the documentation says to put the sensor in inclusion mode under the zwave manager, just click add node secure and see if that doesn’t take care of it.

As far as the rest of your config, you would have to post it and let us know what you are trying to do so we can help you. Please make sure to retain all formatting so we can see the spacing. YAML is very sensitive to spacing. And lets attack one thing at a time.

Thank you for replying, turboc!

It seems that I cannot exclude the sensor, either. I click the remove node button, and the sensor just continues to blink. I tried the motion sensor, hoping that maybe I just have a bad door sensor, but that one will not pair, either. They just continue to blink for a minute or two. To recap, I put the battery in, click “ADD NODE”, and in the door sensor’s case, I have to depress a tamper switch for 1 second and release; for the motion sensor, I have to use a paper clip to depress a program button. In both cases, the lights just continue to blink, and there is no change in the light on the HUSBZB-1. It is both frustrating and disheartening, at this point.

In any case, here is my configuration.yaml file, although I’m pretty sure it is still default:

Does the phone app require the PC software, or does it talk directly to the HUSBZB-1? If it talks directly to the HUSBZB-1, see if the phone app can help you get the devices paired? Take HA out of the mix to verify that the HUSBZB-1 works right.

I am actually doing this all from my PC; I did not try from my tablet or phone. However, I did restart HA, and reran the OZWLog, and new results appeared. I am not sure if these help or not, but hopefully they will:

I must give up for the night, unfortunately, but I will be back at it ASAP tomorrow some time after work. Thanks again, I really appreciate it :slight_smile:

This bit indicates that there’s no key setup for adding secure nodes.

This bit indicates that the device has stopped responding or isn’t responding.

Can you give us the output of the command ‘lsusb’ and a ‘ls -al /dev’?

Also, remember when you reboot your serial ports assigned to usb ports can change.

Thank you both for replying. I am at work right now, but I will get back at it as soon as I am able to.

firstof9, I am not sure how to create a key, so I will have to research that. Also, from what I gathered from the error, the controller (the HUSBZB-1) isn’t responding? I am a bit worried that the stick isn’t working properly, as it actually arrived from Amazon in a crushed box in a padded envelope. In any case I will run those commands as soon as I can and post the results.

And turboc, I will rerun the command to ensure that I my USB ports are still the same. Thanks!

If I am not mistaken, the HUSBZB-1 can support both Zwave and Zigbee. They will show up as 2 separate devices,
likely the /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB0 so each radio can be accessed. As @turboc says the device name could change. You might want to search for and create rules to force the devices to be recognized by name rather than the dev listing. ie /dev/ttyUSB0 would become /dev/zigbee and /dev/ttyUSB1 could become /dev/zigbee regardless of how the were naturally identified.

Yes, zarthan, that is correct, the HUSBZB-1 supports Z-WAVE and Zigbee. How would I go about creating such a rule? Would that go into my config file, or would that be separate?

Thanks in advance!

Remember, I believe he is in Windows not Linux.

He is on hasbian coming from Windows

I would try doing a
lsusb
at the command line. That will show you what USB devices your Pi sees. I don´t know how each of them will show up but hopefully it will help you identify which is which. You will then need to use
ls /dev/serial/by-id/
That will show you how the devices are identified using their device IDs rather than what ports they are attached to.
Replace the /dev/ttyUSB1 with /dev/serial/by-id/usb-xxxxxxxxx.
That should remain constant no matter how the ports are recognized.

Okay, will do. I will make the change and update soon. Thanks again!

Ok, Where does your PC fit into this?

I’m just using my PC to access my RPi via PuTTY and WinSCP, and HA via the web UI.

I ran > lusb and received these results:

I then ran > ls -al /dev, and there are those results:

Lastly, when I ran > ls /dev/serial/by-id/, I received these results:

usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Home_Controller_C0F009ED-if00-port0
usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Home_Controller_C0F009ED-if01-port0

So, in my config file, I should replace

usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB1

with

usb_path: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Home_Controller_C0F009ED-if01-port0
usb_path: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Home_Controller_C0F009ED-if00-port0

Or am I off the mark, there?

Try that one first.

Okay, I tried that one, and I am now seeing a Zwave window on my States page, containing a “Sigma Designs UZB Z-Wave USB Adapter (Node:1 Complete) Ready” listing. When I open the Z-Wave page, under Z-Wave Node Manage, the Sigma Designs UZB Z-Wave USB Adapter shows up there as well. Is this normal? Does Sigma Designs manufacture the dongles for the larger branded companies?
