I cant seem to get my Zwave stick working.

ls -al /dev/tty*
Gives me
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 Oct 24 14:27 /dev/tty
(and that is all)

hassio hardware info
gives me

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I have set up in config

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyAMA0
  network_key: "removed"

and the log in the zwave section

please help get this working

What version of HassOS are you running. v1.11 is the current release. Here is what my HW listing shows. From day 1, I have used /dev/ttyACM0, whether using HA installed ontop of Raspbian, or in HassIO. I would reboot your pi and double check the output. Also, don’t hot-plug the Zwave usb stick.

  • serial:
    • /dev/ttyACM0
    • /dev/ttyAMA0
  • input:
  • disk:
  • gpio:
    • gpiochip128
    • gpiochip0
    • gpiochip100
  • audio:
    • 0:
      • name: bcm2835_alsa - bcm2835 ALSA
      • type: ALSA
      • devices:
        • 0: digital audio playback
        • 1: digital audio playback

This is what my Hass.io shows
Home Assistant 0.80.3 is available
You are currently running version 0.79.3

The system tab shows

Host system

Hostname hassio
System HassOS 1.9
Deployment production

and I reset HA using /dev/ttyACM0 and the zwave item in my configuration menu disappears. to me that means I had something right with /dev/ttyAMA0.

And I’m not sure what you mean by hot-plug. I did add the usb stick when the pi was on, but have sense had the pi go through a power cycle.

Interesting. I would switch back to /dev/ttyAMA0 and then update both HassOS and HA.

By hot-plug I was refering to removing and then replugging the zwave stick while running. It can cause the zwave stick to get added as a new and different device. I don’t know if this is still an possible, but its just better to avoid the practice.

Wow, it seems to be working now. Maybe the update did it. I was not aware that I had to make updates it two places thanks!!!
