Does the device show up in HASS with a “barrier state label”?
Would show up in the <> menu.
Heyo.
I read a good deal of this thread but it’s pretty long (and some parts are older) so bear with me.
I use the homeassistant docker image on an Unraid server. I just installed the Linear garage door opener and have hit the same issues as everyone else.
I see some comments about running roughly:
pip3 install 'python_openzwave==0.4.0.35' --install-option="--flavor=ozwdev"
Is there any reason the stock requirements for home assistant can’t be moved to use this dependency rather than have everyone patch it after the fact? I have yet to get all this working as I’m hesitant to fork HA for the sole purpose of diverging a dependency.
Hey there,
I’ve been through this entire thread and I’m still completely lost on how to implement this fix using HASSIO.
Going though SAMBA and SSH, I don’t have access to any of the directories you guys are mentioning. the /srv/ folder is coming up empty when connecting as root via SSH.
Hell, sudo and pip aren’t even commands when I’m SSHing in ):
If anyone has an idea of how to update open z-wave, via HASSIO, please let me know. I’m currently stuck on 1.4.2508
That’s because it’s a dev version of openzwave that’s being used. Once a stable build is release from the openzwave devs, I’m sure HomeAssistant will update the requirement to the latest version.

Hass.io is intended to be easy to use, and is not very flexible . To do something more advanced like this you should start with hassbian or a manual install.
Using AIO, I ran the script above from Aug 9. I replaced the contents of my init.py file with the following link you provided.
Now my zwave doesnt work at all and I cant get into the control panel.

Is there something I am missing? How do I fix this?
Try executing this:
cd /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant
sudo -u homeassistant ln -sd /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/python_openzwave/ozw_config
chown -R homeassistant:homeassistant /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant
I did that but my folder is python3.5. When I tried to change the folder to 3.5 it gave me “ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘./ozw_config’: File exists”
Is that an issue?
nah you can rename it with a sudo mv ozw_config config should fix it right up
Do you know their status of releasing new stable openzwave? This will be my last device to move from Wink to Hass Z-Wave! I can’t wait to consolidate 
As is always the answer with open source, “When it’s ready.” That’s the answer they give to everyone right now.

Can’t complain about that! Thanks for being in front of this
Does anyone have a guide of sorts for getting one of these working on hassbian? Ive read through the thread and pretty sure I get the requirements but its hard to follow what works for what platforms and what is the current method.
Here’s how to get it working in one simple line:
pip3 install 'python_openzwave' --install-option="--flavor=ozwdev"
You shouldn’t have to modify any files in HA to get it working either.
I just used it today after upgrading to stretch and updating to Python3.5 and it worked flawlessly.
Let us know how it goes for you.

I just tried this and when I enter in the line it tells me that option --flavor not recognized. What do I need to do to fix that?
Python3.5 ?
Yes I am on Python 3.5. Then I remember I used the virturalenv but When I try to install it there it tells me everything is already satisfied. I tried added it but it does not give me the cover option. What else can be done?
I had the same thing happen in my virtualenv setup. The solution was to simply uninstall the old python-openzwave first. After doing this, the installation of the dev flavor worked perfectly.
I did the uninstall and then installed the dev flavor. Is there a way to know if your one the dev flavor? I question this becuase I did not get the other file ozwcache.
