Open zwave integration no entity created z wave home assistant

pitp2 · June 17, 2020, 4:14pm

Hi,

Installed the new addon open zwave

the zwave network start well and I can control the zwave devices.

I can also see the devices in Mqtt with a mqtt client.

But there is no entities created in home assistant
What I did wrong ?

Add the integration in Home Assistant. See the instructions here.

pitp2 · June 17, 2020, 5:23pm

Thank you for your reply

the openzwave (beta) was added in the integration section but no entities created

firstof9 · June 17, 2020, 5:32pm

did you setup the MQTT integration as well?

pitp2 · June 17, 2020, 5:35pm

Yes and I can see in the log that the zwave integration is connected to the brokermqtt

So if you go to the developer tools in Home Assistant and hit the MQTT tab and enter “OpenZWave/1/#” into the topic to subscribe to and hit Start Listening do you see anything?

pitp2 · June 17, 2020, 5:51pm

I see nothing

Really thank you for your help

firstof9 · June 17, 2020, 5:56pm

If you see nothing then Home Assistant isn’t connected to MQTT. Setup the MQTT Integration.

pitp2 · June 17, 2020, 6:03pm

It’s really strange because I have some Shelly integrated with mqtt and it works fine.
But I have the Mqtt addon installed

And the integration is it normal ? or that can explain the strange behaviour ?

firstof9 · June 17, 2020, 6:05pm

Then you need to configure the openzwave addon to use the mqtt broker you already have setup.

sender · June 18, 2020, 4:50pm

Where can that be done then? Mine is auto configured.

petro · June 18, 2020, 5:04pm

That’s a loaded question. What are you talking about? Configuring an individual device or all of MQTT? @firstof9 is talking about all of MQTT.

sender · June 18, 2020, 5:08pm

Where can this be done is my question. That has nothing to do with all of mqtt but only openzwave addon.

firstof9 · June 18, 2020, 5:11pm

Not sure about the addon, I use the docker container straight from the horse’s mouth as I don’t use Supervised.

sender · June 18, 2020, 5:20pm

But wyou wrote addon? So you meant something else?

That was a loaded answer. Now you know what I was writing about?

petro · June 18, 2020, 5:26pm

I did not.

You are correct, I miss read the question.

Currently, you cannot configure the MQTT ip or port for the openzwave addon.

tomdh76 · June 19, 2020, 8:12am

I think if you disable MQTT in your configuration.yaml file it will work.

pitp2 · June 19, 2020, 9:44am

I made a fresh install of hass and now it works

Thank you for your help @firstof9

2carlos · September 27, 2020, 8:08pm

do the devices show up under the MQTT integration or the OpenZWave integration?

I am having the same problem and am hoping to avoid fresh install. When I listen to MQTT, I can see messages coming from OpenZWave topic. But no devices are being created in home assistant

edit: my entities are showing up now under the OpenZWave integration. I guess it just took a few more restarts and reboots for the mqtt addon, the ozw addon, and home assistant to finally see each other correctly.
