Automatic installation of openzwave fails on my MAC OS (Sierra)
I think it’s because I haven’t installed libudev-dev as per HA instructions
The problem is sudo apt-get install libudev-dev doesn’t work on a MAC
How do I install this dependency on a Mac?
I bought the Aeotec Z-stick 5, and all I had to do was plug the USB stick into my Mac Mini, type ls /dev/cu.usbmodem* in terminal to get the address and then add that address to configuration.yaml
e.g.
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/cu.usbmodem431
After that, i restarted the Home Assistant (which may or may not have been necessary). From that point, I could go to Menu, Configuration, Zwave on the Home Assistant web UI and click Add Node accordingly
Logs/errors would be helpful or else we’re just grasping at straws. Might be a permissions error with trying to install dependencies if you’re not using sudo during the launch/install…
I’ve just run into the same issue. Brand new Hass user (or, wanna-be user), trying to get it to talk to my Aeotec Z-Stick. At the end of my configuration.yaml, I have
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/cu.usbmodem1A1211
But when I launch Hass, scary errors appear in Terminal…

And then in the Hass UI, it says “Invalid Config. The following components and platforms could not be set up: zwave”.
Installations were done with sudo. I don’t know how to get this libudev-dev thing installed, though, so maybe that’s the problem after all?
OK, apparently the problem wasn’t libudev-dev after all. In my case, at least, I needed to install python-openzwave. But that was a difficult adventure in itself. I first had to do
sudo /Applications/Python\ 3.6/Install\ Certificates.command
(as suggested here), and only then could successfully do
sudo pip3 install python_openzwave
And then launch hass, and my zwave component (finally) appeared! Hopefully this will help out the next poor sap who runs into this problem.
