So, moving over from Vera I’ve evaluated Home Assistant for 4 months now. First on a NAS Docker and now on a RPI4 8gb.
Main drive is how much faster the GUI is. InfluxDB/Grafana is probably another good reason, then all the integrations. Downside would be that zwave tend to divide into a million of entities instead of having attributes within a few, but I’ll live with it. I have 400 Vera-ID’s and figures there will be 1000 in home assitstant. Can’t get the app to work proberly but I figure it’s some DNS-issue or bug that I’ve yet to solve.
However, just when I figured I was ready to switch, the Z-Wave was replaced with zwavejs2mqtt. Not a bad thing really but I have to postpone my migration. I use mainly Z-Wave.
Now we’ve established I like zwavejs2mqtt with its Z-Wave JS integration but I’ve come across the issue with deleted devices still keeping their names so when re-adding the integration for whatever reason, it gets a new suffix. I thought I could change that in nodes.json but here’s the problem:
All operations in the zwavejs2mqtt GUI ends up with a “Request failed with status code 404”. I cannot even browse the files.
Also, I would assume it lies within /usr/src/… somewhere but all folders are empty.
So, figures it’s a permission thing?
The question is:
- How do I get permission to browse/download/change inte the “Store” GUI?
- Also, how do I access the folders from within the terminal/SSH? Something called CLI seems to block everything.
As a bonus question:
3. Anyone got some good “best practice” how to handle or setup a good security solution with Doorbell 6, Envisalink and a proximity sensors?
