Trouble connecting Zwave through Docker

Configuration Z-Wave
,
1

I’m having trouble connecting my zwave stick to HA in docker-compose. I’ve copied every reference I could google but no luck. I’m hoping one of you can point out what I must have missed.

Hardware: Intel NUC Kit NUC7CJYH (with 8GB RAM & 120GB SSD)
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Zwave stick: Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5

Running ls -l /dev/ttyACM0 gives me
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Jan 8 10:01 /dev/ttyACM0

I have only one user, so I ran: sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER

Running lsusb gives me:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 8087:0aaa Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0658:0200 Sigma Designs, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 24ae:1000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I set up a persistent path in “/etc/udev/rules.d/10-zwave-static.rules”

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0658", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0200", SYMLINK+="zwaveusbstick"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0a12", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", SYMLINK+="bluetoothdongle"

(Bluetooth started working in HA after I added that second line)

I installed docker-compose via these instructions: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-docker-compose-on-ubuntu-16-04

This is my docker-compose.yml file (cobbled together from googling):

version: '3'
services:
  homeassistant:
    container_name: home-assistant
    image: homeassistant/home-assistant
    ports:
      - "8123:8123"
    volumes:
      - /home/gnuc/home-assistant:/config
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    devices:
      # - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0
      # - /dev/ttyUSB1:/dev/ttyUSB1
      # - /zwaveusbstick:/zwaveusbstick:rwm
      # - /zwaveusbstick:/zwaveusbstick
      - /zwaveusbstick
      - /bluetoothdongle
    restart: always
    network_mode: host
    privileged: true

After running the container, the permissions for my HA folder were owned by root so I ran: sudo chown -hR gnuc /home/gnuc/home-assistant

My configuration.yaml file only has this line regarding zwave: zwave:
When I remove that line and try setting zwave up through Integrations, I get “Z-Wave validation failed. Is the path to the USB stick correct?”

In the home-assistant.log file I see:

2019-01-08 10:06:20 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Error setting up entry Z-Wave (import from configuration.yaml) for zwave

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Were you able to solve this? If so, could you share what you did because I have a similar problem.

I believe you need to call out the zwave stick in your config entry under z-wave. I believe I ID’d my stick via it’s serial number. I will have to pull up my docker-compose and config.yaml later to show you what I have.

Hi @b1g_bake, could you share your docker compose for the configuration of the zwave usb stick ? I have the same issue, tried a lot of things and I’m running out of ideas :frowning:
