When/How to update openzwave and python-openzwave code for HA environment

[dap35]

I have a pi3 with Raspian and the HA All-In-One installer with a virtual environment. Is there a process for updating the Open-zwave code and the python-openzwave code?

[thrust15]

Go to your installation directory (for me it’s: cd /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave)

then type:
sudo git pull

this will get the latest version from GitHub

[DavidMStraub]

But just pulling isn’t enough, is it? Also, there are two repositories to be pulled, python-openzwave and openzwave. Looking at the all-in-one installer’s source and the Makefile of python-openzwave, my guess would be:

1. Go to the installation directory (e.g. cd /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave)
2. Make sure the python3 branch is checked out (git checkout python3)
3. Run make update (which will pull both repos)
4. Run make build
5. Run make install

I have not tried this myself though. Can anybody confirm this is the right prodcedure? Thanks.

Does anyone have any update on this? I’m also looking for an answer to this problem. There are lots of varying opinions on how to update so it would be great to have a confirmed process for getting this done.

Cheers

I would also be very interested to know if this is a correct process…

[DavidMStraub]

Hi,

I tried the procedure I suggested above and it worked, with two changes:

• There is no python3 branch anymore (master supports Python 3), so step 2. can be skipped
• If you have HA installed in a virtualenv (e.g. when having used the all-in-one installer), make sure to activate it before steps 4 and 5 and use

PYTHON_EXEC=`which python3` make build
PYTHON_EXEC=`which python3` make install

instead (see here).

However, it seems all of this will be unnecessary starting with 0.45.

Anyone know how to update on Hassbian? the directories mentioned here don’t exist on my installation.

Most of my z-wave stuff appears to be working after upgrading, I am missing one switch on a dual-relay though.

[brianjking (Brian King)]

@DavidMStraub Yeah, I’m hoping that pull request slated for 0.45 fixes all of this without any need of a reinstall or anything.

Do you see any benefit from updating openzwave and python-openzwave manually as of now or just wait until 0.45?

Thanks!

Python-openzwave update available

Today i noticed the update wasn’t applied properly. I noticed only python-openzwave was updated but not openzwave that should come along with it. After some research i found the solution. The commands i used to upgrade both are: sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate cd /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave make uninstall make clean make update make build make install i used “make uninstall” and “make clean” to make sure there are no previous versi…

[DavidMStraub]

I did it because of this statement in the 0.44 release notes:

you’ll have to update to the latest Python Open Z-Wave with this release

However I’m not sure why or whether it is really necessary.

[aetjansen (RNO)]

I just did that on my fresh hassbian 1.22 install. I just logged in and did a

pip install --upgrade python_openzwave

and that worked, although it told me that I was already running the latest version.

And in my case, these are the install directories:

/srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave
/srv/homeassistant/src/open-zwave-control-panel

so, if you are on the latest hassbian as well, I guess that’s where you could find yours.

HTH!

[blackgear (Davide Gavagnin)]

I’ve All In One installer for Raspberry, so

sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
source /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade python_openzwave

solved putting config_path in my configuration file

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB0
  config_path: /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.1-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config

[oakbrad]

Thank you sir, sometimes the easiest explanation is the correct one

edit:
my config path ended up being:

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/python_openzwave/ozw_config

This seems to have fixed my flaky GE in-wall toggle switch.

[SebasT]

Seems like you are running 2 versions of openzwave.
pip seems to have installed 0.4.0.34, but you are pointing your config to 0.3.1
This doesn’t seem right IMO

Hello all,

Just tried to install Open Zwave on my Raspberry Py for the first time. After the install, the startup fails telling me that a config directory not found. I am installing into virtualdev env and I followed instructions from here:

Installation in Python virtual environment

The root cause error:

libopenzwave.LibZWaveException: "LibOpenZwave Generic Exception : Can't find config directory /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.4/site-packages/python_openzwave-0.4.0.34-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config"

This above directory indeed does NOT exist. But I do have “/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.4/site-packages/python_openzwave-0.4.0.34-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg”

But I actually do have this directory with a bunch of files:
/srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave/config

However , HA is not looking for it when starting-up. I have used “virtualdev” install instructions for my HA. So should the HA be actually looking for this directory instead? /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave/config ?

I am installing the latest version of Open Zwave and I had just did upgrade of HA as well. So everything is the latest version as of May 17th 2017.

Please help to find a resolution.

Here is a section of the HA startup that is relevant:

I answered my OWN question!!

All I had to do wad to change my configuration.yaml in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant

to include:

zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
config_path: /srv/homeassistant/src/python-openzwave/openzwave/config

The config_path config pointed to the correct directory!
