Switching from Zwave 1.4 (Deprecated) to Zwave JS

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 1:24pm

I have followed the steps above deleting the old zwave integration, removed the integration in configuration.yaml, deleted all zwave related files in /config and rebooted twice, but the Z-Wave JS integration won’t install.
From my old core.config_entries I have:

"usb_path": "/dev/ttyACM0"
"network_key": null

I am on

HASSOS: 5.12
HASS Core: 2021.3.3

If I leave the network_key blank or if I put “null”, I get the same error message:
Failed to set Z-Wave JS configuration.

Anything I have missed or do I need to?

I opted for the OpenZWave(beta) instead, and the integration completed the installation without fail. Now waiting for nodes to come back up…

Removed integration and started over with Z-Wave JS.

What errors were in your zwave logs?

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 1:48pm

I have installed the addon through the Supervisor Official Addons, and it has started, but I can’t see it in integrations. No OZW log file yet.

When I try to add the integration now, I get “Failed to connect.”

Edit: After stopping the Z-Wave JS addon, the integration now shows both USBpath and a network_key, which I did not generate. It then stops with “Failed to start Z-Wave JS addon” and does not add the integration.

You can’t use openzwave with zwave js. You should remove openzwave and go the zwave js route.

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 2:18pm

Yes, I have removed the OpenZWave integration and trying to add Z-Wave JS.

petro · March 11, 2021, 2:19pm

Ok what do the zwave js logs say? There’s a log tab on the addon

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 2:19pm

I am getting the same error as above with zwave js.

petro · March 11, 2021, 2:20pm

Did you remove all references to the v1.4 integration? Did you shutdown and restart in between?

That is when I start the zwave js addon, but then the integration gives me the error “Failed to connect.”

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 2:24pm

Yes, according to post above:
I have followed the steps above deleting the old zwave integration, removed the integration in configuration.yaml, deleted all zwave related files in /config and rebooted twice, but the Z-Wave JS integration won’t install.
From my old core.config_entries I have:

"usb_path": "/dev/ttyACM0"
"network_key": null

petro · March 11, 2021, 2:25pm

And in the addon you configured it properly?

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 2:29pm

I belive so, but after a refresh, I find the following in the log file:

That’s the wrong usb string. AMA vs ACM.

Click the drop down and select the correct usb. It might be the absolute string, which will differ from the ACM.

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 2:36pm

I see that now, but the string I want: /dev/ttyACM0 is not available in the list.

And still no zwave js in integrations, just the addon.

petro · March 11, 2021, 2:37pm

Then select the one with your usb stick, read my reply above

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 2:40pm

Sorry if I don’t follow, I was under the impression that my USB stick was at the same address as I used with zwave 1.4, i.e. /dev/ttyACM0. The ones available in the list are:

/dev/ttyAMA0
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-RFXCOM_RFXtrx433_A11I6GZ0-if00-port0

Trying No. 2 now.
Edit: Same error, “Failed to connect.”

petro · March 11, 2021, 2:42pm

It’s most likely the second one

tomoqv · March 11, 2021, 2:47pm

After some restarts of the addon, the integration suddenly went through with the No 2 path above. I’ll see what I get with it now.
Thanks
