After upgrade to 0.63.0 I get these errors…

Possibly you’ve hit this bug where cython is now required.

As the user you run Home Assistant as, activate the virtual environment and then run

pip3 install cython

Then try restart Home Assistant.

sj3fk3 · February 11, 2018, 10:54am

Tried that and then I run into the problem that python-openzwvae can’t find the openzwave-lib :frowning

So for now I reverted to the previous version.

jayholler · February 11, 2018, 3:44pm

Thanks for this tip! I uninstalled python_openzwave, installed cython, and then re-installed python_openzwave and things are working fine again on 0.63. This is using a Python 3 virtualenv on ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

mistrovly · February 11, 2018, 5:15pm

Firstly thank you for the tips; but for some reason it does not work for me. I’m still experiencing the same issue once upgraded to 0.63. Im using HA on ubuntu 16.04 with virtual environment enable.

Tinkerer · February 11, 2018, 5:23pm

The permission denied error suggests that at some point you’ve used the wrong account.

You need to ensure that all files under /srv/homeassistant are owned by the right user, and then run the commands as that user. For example, if you run HA as homeassistant, then run this as an account with sudo access:

sudo chown -R homeassistant /srv/homeassistant

mistrovly · February 11, 2018, 6:00pm

Thank you for the quick answer. I thought i did, but ill double check that

OmenWild · February 11, 2018, 6:03pm

You also need the libudev-dev OS package installed (sudo apt-get install libudev-dev) for python_openzwave==0.4.3. I finally managed to scroll back far enough to see an error about libudev.h missing.

mistrovly · February 11, 2018, 6:07pm

You guys, are the best. It was a permission issue. Thanks a million

daemondazz · March 9, 2018, 5:24am

After installing libudev-dev, I also had to pip uninstall python-openzwave and then remove the pip cache folder at ~/.cache/pip/ before it would install properly.

sj3fk3 · March 9, 2018, 6:19am

Ha! I’m going to try that as well.

Btje1977 · March 25, 2018, 9:43am

got also a problem installing. I’m on python 3.6 and got this error:

running install_lib
creating /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pyximport
error: could not create ‘/usr/local/lib/python3.5/distpackages/pyximport’: Permission denied

Tinkerer · March 25, 2018, 10:15am

Did you install Home Assistant inside a virtual environment (for example, you’re using Hassbian). If so, you forgot to activate the venv.

Btje1977 · March 25, 2018, 6:40pm

My bad thought I logged in into the virtual env. I installed cython and the libdev and the manual installed open-zwave. Still got a config error:

Btje1977 · March 25, 2018, 6:47pm

I looked at the dist packages dir in python and could not find the openzwave folder. But the installer said succesfull?

Btje1977 · March 28, 2018, 5:39am

What file is HA looking for, there are several config directories.

My zwave is located on a different place after install (home\ha\lib…) . I use a orange opi zero and armbian.

BirdJesus · May 13, 2018, 2:37am

For some reason I had a lot of trouble installing openzwave.
On ubuntu 18.04 LTS (I upgraded from 16.04 LTS)
Python 3.6
Installing in a virtualenv

after activating the virtualenv:

sudo apt-get install --force-yes -y make libudev-dev g++ libyaml-dev libdpkg-perl python3.6-dev

Why I was missing so many dependencies I have no idea but maybe this will help someone.

sj3fk3 · May 13, 2018, 4:39pm

fyi: activating a virtualenv and apt-get are sort of unconnected. apt always installs global and the whole point of a virtualenv is that it’s local (but does inherit global)

So doing the apt-get install without activating the virtualenv would have the same result.

BirdJesus · October 6, 2018, 8:58pm

Correct, activating the virtualenv to install packages is not necessary. Thanks.

For what it’s worth, I had to do the same exact command again when I just updated python-openzwave from 0.4.x to 0.4.10 . I do a lot of package cleanup like apt-get autoremove and I haven’t spent time investigating but I assume that it removes at least one of the packages that I need. The README is helpful as well: http://openzwave.github.io/python-openzwave/README.html
