Well I am another new guy stumbling around and have found my way up until now with much help of reading these threads, but now I’m baffled. I have a RPi3 running latest version of Russian Jessie, the HA AOi latest version of 0.46.0. Now that’s out of the way I am using an Aeotec Z stick gen5 and install went great and paired first device. I can see this on the front end but nothing seems to be working on the zwave panel, and as I would much rather use the ozwcp for now anyhow but I am unable to access it. I have followed the steps as follows…
Make sure Home Assistant is not running! So stop that first
Login to Raspberry Pi ssh pi@your_raspberry_pi_ip
Change to the OZWCP directory cd /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/
Launch the control panel sudo ./ozwcp -p 8888
Open a web browser to http://your_pi_ip:8888
Specify your Z-Wave controller, for example /dev/ttyACM0 and hit initialize
But when I get to the point of Change to the OZWCP directory cd /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/ I am met with an error that the file path does not exist. I navigated to the folder location in WinSCP and after src there there is no control panel path only a python-openzwave folder. Has anyone else run into this? Or could someone give me the file path as to where they found theirs? I navigated through and wasn’t able to find the control panel so any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.
For me, that step is
cd /srv/hass/src/open-zwave-control-panel/
I’m running AiO on Jessie.
Thanks for your reply but at that level my only option is home assistant.
If you cd into ~/srv/homeassistant/src
and then type ls
do you see a open-zwave-control-panel folder?
Hello ntfd1023,
I tried to use OZCWP panel a couple of days ago and can confirm it is not working for me as well. I thought this might be linlked to the fact that since 0.45 we have access to z-wave through Home Assistant and have therefore switched. Until now it appears I can do everything I need through HA - and it is therefore much easier to use.
Please note that after the upgrade to 0.46 the z-wave panel was not working at all and I had to restart my RPI3 for it to function properly - please ensure you have done a reboot of your installation. After an upgrade HA can take several minutes to have aeverything properly started.
Next please inform us which device you have paired. Some devices can be more tricky to set-up - what can happen is they have a wrong manufacturing number and therefore might need some manual intervention in the z-wave xml file. You should also be able to check the Z-wave log file as well. Both should be in your homeassistant directory (config file is zwcfg_xxxxx.xml, log file should be OZW_Log.txt).
Best
Ok so when I putty into the folder all I have after la is python-openzwave and as for the device, that would explain why I am having trouble with the panel looking into the logs (I thought panel was just somewhat inactive due to new release) but the device is inactive missing the manufacturers number. Where is the place to find that? Nothing conspicuous on the device or on the instructions that I seen. But not sure what that would exactly look like. I have a first alert smoke/ CO detector model number zcombo.
Hmmm. Sorry to thread jack. I had written some questions about this issue as well. Since writing the post, I decided to change from Hassbian to a Raspbian with AIO installer. Hopefully this will fix my issue as it looks like others had issues with Hassbian and zwave. https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/57kzj8/difference_between_hassbian_and_all_in_one/
So, I will come back to this discussion if that doesn’t work out for me as well… Sorry to those who may have seen my previous post.
I actually didn’t have much trouble getting the Z stick on line, following the BRUH Automation video as well as HA z wave getting started page. Two little bits though make sure you’ve installed the required dependency at the top of the HA z wave getting started page and confirm your configuration path. I added this as well to my config file just to be on the safe side and verified since it was slightly different than the tutorial videos location. Hope this may help you out and best of luck to you.
Thanks for your reply. This time it worked! I thought I was going along the same path as my previous times as HA wouldn’t load the first time in the browser, but it did after a couple reboots! With this install with Raspbian + AIO, I now have the /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/ directory and was able to go to OZWCP. Were you able to get there?
I’m using Rasbian + AIO + razberry (z-wame.me) and ugraded from 0.44.0 to 0.46.0 and after the upgrade some zwave devices stopped working in HA.
So I stopped HA and started OZWCP
sudo systemctl stop home-assistant.service
cd /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/
sudo ./ozwcp -p 8888
I opened the OZWCP and all the devices were working and reporting new parameters. I saved the config again and copied it to the HA directory.
sudo cp /srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel/zwcfg_0x<yournumberhere>.xml /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/
sudo systemctl start home-assistant.service
This didn’t help. Then I realized that only the secured zwave devices stopped working… after some searching I found the solution.
sudo nano /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/deps/python_openzwave/ozw_config/options.xml
And added my NetworkKey:
<Option name="NetworkKey" value="0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0F, 0x10" />
In version 0.45 or 0.46 this must have changed? Can anybody confirm this? Would be nice if this would have been mentioned in the release notes or did I miss something.
how can you tell if the are secure as I cannot remember which are and aren’t… wish I had let them all unsecured as I am now getting some powered devices always flipping to dead…
When missing folder /open-zwave-control-pane/
Is this a concern when using v.52
I am looking to load the openzwave web gui to resolve some zwave configuration issues.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Running homeassistant on UBUNTU 16.04 Virtual ENV.
ware running fine till update now all the Node ID’s have changed and I am looking to clean the whole thing up at once. maybe even delete and start over. Unfortunately my entire home is run from GE Zwave switches.
Thanks in advance.
