A .storage folder should exist, attempt a cd ~/.homeassistant/.storage and see what happens.
Definitely doesnât. I know my way around Linux 
pi@hassbian:~ $ cd ~/.homeassistant/.storage
-bash: cd: /home/pi/.homeassistant/.storage: No such file or directory
pi@hassbian:~ $ cd .homeassistant/
pi@hassbian:~/.homeassistant $ ls -al

Very odd, homeassistant is supposed to create the directory, but your configuration should live in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant unless youâve modified the service, since thatâs the default location for the configuration files in hassbian.
Can I just create the dir and file underneath it? I donât know the format of the core.config_entries file, though. Maybe I should just blow this away and start over.
No.
Assuming /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant doesnât exist then?
Correct, does not exist
Edit to add: My system does not even have a âhomeassistantâ user, so it will of course not have a home dir :). Guess this thing is seriously fubarâd - one of the upgrades mustâve gone sideways and I never noticed til this adventure with the opener.
hasbian from what i understand should have the user pre-made for you⌠
I prefer the venv install myself.
If you have upgraded to 0.96.5 then the .storage directory is somewhere on your system⌠but it might be easier to nuke this and start over at this point 
I think itâs totally hosed :-/ If I do: find / -type d -name ".storage" , nothing shows up. Itâs super unhappy haha.
Got it taken care of. Entirely rebuilt my Pi using the latest image, setup my network key, did a Add Node Secure, annnnd it all shows up fine now. 
thanks for your help @firstof9

Seems homeassistant-pyozw==0.1.4 doesnât compile on alpine when using the dev flavor. I tried to take a look but didnât have the capacity to spend time on it. Get ready for it now if youâre still doing your own builds. Only reason I still want to is the user lock code clear that is not in the current version.
i cant get mine to pair in secure i know it has to be secure but no matter what i do it wont pair help please
What does your OZW_Log.txt show?
Specifically the first 5 lines, then the lines where you attempt to add the device.
Iâll check and post it
Your problem is in line 2, you have no network key setup so you cannot pair secure devices.
Also it looks like you donât have the correct tty device configured for zwave.
Alright Iâll put in a key and try to fix the others but my z wave does work
Alright Put the key in But my z wave works what am i doing wrong
running it on a pi3b+ with a nortech usb stick
Try pairing the device now, see what happens.
i tried it showed up for a second but then disappeared in the nodes that was doing it secured more the what its been doing
Those CAN message are not good.
