It took me a while to figure out how to compile ozwcp, so I wrote a quick tutorial to hopefully save other people’s time:
https://lickthesalt.com/2016/04/11/compiling-open-zwave-control-panel-on-a-raspberry-pi-3/
I’ve only tested this on Raspbian 8 (jessie) on a rpi3, so if it works on another distro or release, please let me know!
You Rock !! Thanks I haven’t followed this yet, but have been really struggling to figure this out.
Thanks
Worked like a charm! Thanks!!!
It was pointed out to me that there’s a working docker image as well, which should be easier to install. I’ve updated the blog post, but here’s the command to get the docker image running (assuming you have docker installed):
docker run -p 8008:8008 –device /dev/ttyUSB0 openzwave/openzwave-control-panel &>/dev/null &
when i try to run the docker command on my raspberry pi 3 it gives me a [9] System error: exec format error. has anybody else encountered this issue?
As Tom mentioned in the comments on your site, I also had to update my Makefile for open-zwave-control-panel
LIBMICROHTTPD := /usr/local/lib/libmicrohttpd.a
Thanks for the heads up, I’ve updated the post.
Thanks for the wonderful guide. However, just to let you know I stumbled few times because I installed this using user: pi
I need to add sudo on certain lines such as…
sudo apt-get install libgnutls28-dev libgnutlsxx28
sudo make install
I ran all everything as root (because I’m lazy), that’s why the commands didn’t include sudo.
Just an FYI for anyone looking to follow the guide. If you go to the libmicrohttpd site and see that newer versions are available (0.9.49 in my case) DON’T improvise and download a newer package instead. I tried with the newest version and couldn’t get it to build, but 0.9.19 worked. Thanks!
After struggling quite a bit (I am new to linux/zwave/open source/etc), I was able to get through the tutorial and can run the control panel (thanks @aceat64). But of of course I am still having issues and was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction. Before I get into my questions just to be clear I have been able to successfully configure zwave in home assistant, and since a recent restart, home assistant has already recognized the 2 devices which I can control already with the developers tools.
Questions
Dumb question - is there a definitive resource for how the OpenZWave control panel is supposed to work, like here is a description of what the buttons do and what the functions are for (I am assuming no …because open source)?
Are there any non-obvious pre-requisites to successfully run the control panel, for instance do you have to stop home assistant? Run it in certain browsers? Am I supposed to enter anything outside of device name? Should I be checking the USB checkbox?
Most important question - I can’t seem to get OpenZWave to recognize my Aeotec gen 5 z-stick. I get the following terminal output when I enter /dev/zwave (which I mapped and works in HA) under device name and click initialize. One weird thing I noticed is the terminal calls out HID port with VID:1b5f and PID:0x0001 which I assume is vendor id and product id of the usb port it is trying to access, but my z-stick has different id’s… is there a config file that I could default these values, or is the HID port something else?

Murphy’s law: you hit your head against the wall with an issue, spend the morning writing a plea for help in a forum… and promptly solve your own problem. After visiting the following link here I noticed the following text “Ensuring that HASS isn’t running (crossing the streams would be very bad), run the control panel” ok… lets give this one more shot. I entered device name /dev/zwave and clicked the ‘Initialize’ button. And BOOM it works now. I swear I tried doing exactly what I just did before. Oh well.
@JoeDSM I’m experiencing the same issues as you. I was seeing the errors that you mentioned, but not now - perhaps I had HASS running. Now I see nothing while trying to configure open zwave control panel.
When I hit initialize I get this in the console, but nothing in the interface
post: key=dev data=/dev/ttyACM0 size=12
post: key=fn data=open size=4
post: key=usb data=true size=4
The Home Id, Controller Mode, Node Count all stay empty
@zakharm Wish I could help you, are the 3 post lines the only output you are seeing on the console? Are you able to see zwave entity id’s or services listed in home assistant? Did you confirm your usb controller is at ttyACMO (mine has flipped between ttyACM0 and ttyACM1)?
Pinned the topic. I think it would be nice if we add this as a page to our documentation. PR welcome! CC @robbiet480 as was writing something up too iirc
@JoeDSM I restarted HASS a few times and now I’m able to see zwave/add_node and others on there. i was only seeing zwave/0, zwave/1, etc before. I didn’t really anything different, it just started appearing.
My zwave configuration:
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
config_path: /srv/hass/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.0-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config
polling_interval: 60000
Now I see my Aeotec Multisensor 6 and the following entities:
sensor.__luminance_2
sensor.__relative_humidity_2
sensor.__temperature_2
sensor.__ultraviolet_2
I believe I still need access to Open Zwave Controller to make a configuration change so I can use the motion detector.
@zakharm You are essentially exactly where I was recently and I noticed similar behavior (zwave/0, etc). Assuming you haven’t tried the following already I would run the following commands, I am sure you don’t need these steps in detail but if you are like me and completely new to this stuff maybe it will be helpful.
@JoeDSM Thanks for the steps. I closed out of HASS and also rebooted and I’m getting the issue you were having accessing the controller

I didn’t click the USB checkbox and it worked!
From the project’s Github Issues:
The Aeon Labs USB controller creates a serial device in /dev. The USB checkbox
is for HID (non-serial) devices.
