Thanks for confirmation.
I have 2 of these thermostats and would like to update my Hass.io system on RP3 with this docker package, but I am a bit of a beginner on Docker and understanding of how HA with Hass.io works.
Can someone help with instructions on what I need to do?
My HA is version 0.60.1; host os hassio version 1.1
Thanks!
Great to hear that your setup is running. I’m new to Home Assistant and I have just bought a SPIRIT Z-Wave Plus and a Aeotec Z-WAVE Z-STICK GEN5.
I have set-up a test installation of Home Assistant on my Laptop (ubuntu 17.10) in a virtual env (libopenzwave is on version 1.5).
The thermostat gets detected an I can switch between “Off”, “Econ” and “Heat”. Also the current temperature is displayed. However, I cannot set any new temperature values. Was this the same with your setup before upgrading to OpenZwave Dev branch?
Can you give me a hint how to go forward? Get the code from https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/tree/Dev and do ‘make install’? Do I also need another version of python-openzwave?
Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks for providing the docker file. I tried it with my own installation and can confirm that it works. 
At first I tried to mount my existing config to avoid removing the node from my network but this did not work. The behavior was actually the same than with my original installation. Then I tried it again with a plain config and it worked.
Since it took me some time to find out (how docker works and) how to run the container properly, here the command that I used:
docker run -v $HOME/HomeAssistent/config:/config -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --device="/dev/ttyACM0" -p 8123:8123 roflmao/docker-ha-eurotronic
However, it confuses me that my (single) thermostat is displayed as six different devices. Apparently each “device” represents one setpoint – 22°C (heat), 18°C (Econ), 28°C (?), 8°C (?), etc. Also I’m not quite sure whether the displayed current temperature is actually updated (regularly). I will have to keep an eye on that.
One last question. Why does the docker file clones https://github.com/tobiasgraf/ rather than, e.g., from https://github.com/OpenZWave?
I belive, because this is still not merged with the devbranch of openzwave as you can see here: Eurotronic Spirit Z by tobiasgraf · Pull Request #1387 · OpenZWave/open-zwave · GitHub
Anyone has a educated guess about how long this will need to end up in the master and then in official HA?
I’d like to know, because I don’t know if it is worth the hassle of installing the docker or just wait.
It seems to be merged into Dev by now

Hi I’ve managed to create a docker image with the dev branch of open zwave .
I’m still testing around, but controlling the spirit seems to work fine. I can change temperatures and the spirit reacts almost instantly.
I’m not quite confident with the untested zwave version but until now it behaves as expected.
Ultimately, I want to deploy 10 spirits and manage them with the heaty component.
I’m using the zwave dev branch but haven’t been able to directly control the valve by setting the mode to “Manufacturer Specific”. Has anyone managed this ? Also, interested if anyone knows how to pair the unit with a z-wave temperature sensor so you can heat the room based on a centrally located sensor. The docs suggest both of these things are possible. The first would be great to allow direct HA control whereas the second provides more of a standalone solution.
Are you willing to share your docker image, I am in a similar camp; I have chosen to run with HaaS.io as i learn this platform. My plan is to replace an EvoHome installation which has 38 HR92 heads but is suffering some major issues with range, resulting in heating been demanded when its not needed, and in some cases, turning on and off my boiler after just 9 seconds of demand!
Heaty combined with some control logic for pumps and boiler will make a perfect fit, but the z-Wave portion is critical. Based on your docker file, I would like to see if i can customise a fork of the main Hass.IO image
thanks

Hi,
my docker file looks like this:
FROM homeassistant/raspberrypi2-homeassistant:latest
RUN apk update && apk add git make g++ coreutils linux-headers eudev-dev python3-dev python-dev cython python3 py-pip py3-pip build-base yaml-dev
RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir python_openzwave==0.4.4 --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall --install-option="--flavor=ozwdev" -b /tmp/pyozwbuild
RUN sed -i s/python_openzwave==0.4.3/python_openzwave==0.4.4/ /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/zwave/__init__.py
There is room for improvement, e.g. the dependencies needed to build openzwave probably can be removed after upgrading openzwave.
So, far it seems to work.
Just to follow up here,
I did get the Docker option working, but with hotfix releases appearing quickly, this turned into a cat and mouse saga.
The solution i have adopted, and confirmed its working perfectly is posted here:
Thank you for sharing, Much respect
Damian
Yeah I know what you mean. have not upgraded HA since my last post 
The solution you mentioned is also more stable as it does not use other potentially unstable code from the dev branch. Although I have to say that I did not have any issues with Zwave despite this. I’ve probably been lucky…
Hi guys
I have just bought a spirit z-wave plus which has the same issue unable to set the temperature. I am running hassio using a raspberry pi 3b+ and raspbian stretch light. https://github.com/dale3h/hassio-installer/
I’m not really sure how to implement the fix you’ve done. Any chance you could help out a noob?
Do you have to update the trv firmware or is just replacing files in hassio?
Just need to add files to hass.io as I described above.
If you need a shadow find me on discord and I can host a share session to help. I’m in Ireland (GMT) and positive that 10 minutes during the day would sort you out

thanks Damian
offer and help is appreciated.
ok I think I have followed your instructions correctly. However after reboot of hassio spirit still not working as expected.
when you say eject trv in your closing comment do you mean factory reset and re pair with hassio as this something I haven’t tried yet?. All I did is select remove node in hassio and then reboot.
You do have to re-pair the device for the data to update on the binding so yes, eject inferred to unpair and re pair.
That should get you working
yes that did the trick! Able to set the temperature from hassio and all other features from hassio.
One last question and then I will stop bothering you
Will this be sorted by hassio anytime soon so this is unnecessary. For example in a month or two when the official release of hassio gets released for the raspberrypi 3b+ you may not get access to a Linux terminal?
Thanks for all your help in getting me up and running.
To be honest the answer is no - its not really Hass.io to blame, they are using the upstream master branch of OpenZwave; and the stuff we need is not in that branch yet; so instead we are grabbing the configurations from the current devleopment branch; and telling the code that it should use our provided device configuration settings.
i have upgraded trough about a dozen versions of home assistant betas, and full releases; and this is flawless; and if i am honest, even if openzwave do release a new master build; ill keep this configuration, as development is moving faster, and allowing the addition or fix-up of zwave devices with hass with little effort.
delighted your running; Have you many spirits? I am planning to replace what was 38 HR92 heads from evohome with spirits; over the summer, as the zwave mesh is a better fix for the layout of my home.

Only bought the one so far (just to test). My goal is to buy a further 5 for each radiator and then buy a smart thermostat (thinking hive). Then write a script that monitors each rooms temperature and if it falls below a certain threshold then turn on the heating system.
I know I could buy a smart thermostat which includes integration with approved trv’s that would do the same thing but I wanted a project to get me more involved in Linux / python.
On the consideration of investing in hardware like Hive; just take a peek if you have not already at the home assistant solution called Heaty
