Removed incorrect information.
Thatās the one thatās marked āBackupā right?
Sorry no, Submit it is. Itās under just about every field.
Sorry, I thought that it was obvious that once you changed a setting you needed to submit to save the changes; I thought you were referring to something else.
So I was referring to the Backup button.
To clarify; under each of the various device settings sections is a Submit button. When you make a change to a setting, for example Polling, you need to press the Submit button to save that setting.
The backup button at the top of the control panel saves the controller settings.
I used the auto installer to deploy a HA installation, which has been working well, once I got past some speedbumps. I was also looking to āmergeā the OZWCP and HA Zwave configs, but I found that , while my config path in āconfiguration.yamlā is ā/srv/hass/hass_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.1-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/configā, that the āconfigā folder in ā/srv/hass/src/open-zwave-control-panelā is actually a symlink back to the one in my configuration file. However, there is a āzwcfg_*******.xmlā and āzwscene.zmlā in my āhome/hass/.homeassistantā folder, as well as in ā/srv/hass/src/open-zwave-control-panelā, which I found that I had to copy out of the ā/srv/hass/src/open-zwave-control-panelā folder to get newer devices that I added to show up.
Did these somehow end up in the wrong place, and/or can they be symlinked?

I have same problem as Cougar281.
Can anybody help? pls!
I have a related question about OZWCP since IĀ“m a bit confused about the whole z-wave setup.
When do you use the āadd deviceā inside OZWCP?
I have only one device atm and all I did was pair it with the controller and then it appeared under devices in OZWCP.
After a while it appeared in HASS too but after a HASS reboot it was gone. It is also not visible in the z-wave config in HASS, still visible in OZWCP though.
Iām kind of in the same boat as you here, but here is what I think I have learned.
HA will discover zwave devices that are not in a zwave network. OZWCP will see the devices that are part of HA, and let you add them to the OZWCP zwave network. The two networks donāt appear to be the same thing though. A zwave device can only be in one network. So here is what I do.
- Hook up the device, go to developer tools, zwave domain, add node and try to get HA to see the device. If that works Iām done, no need to go any further.
- shut down HA (HA and OZWCP donāt coexist running at the same time)
- from the OZWCP install directory run OZWCP
- put in the device name for your zwave usb stick or whatever (/dev/zwave) in my case. And initialize.
- Try adding a node and see if you can get the device to show up in open zwave. if it works, skip step 6.
- use OZWCP to remove node and while itās looking turn the device on and off a couple of times. THis is to remove the device from whatever network it Thinks it is in. Go back to step 5
- Remove the device from OZWCP again
- shut down OZWCP (ctrl-c)
- restart HA
- for me the devices typically show up at reboot. IF not, try using developer_tools to add the device again.
Weird. I know next to nothing about ZWave, but all I have ever had to do was run OZWCP, initialize my stick and put the device in pairing mode. Then once the device is detected and Iāve saved any settings, I save the config using the backup config button at the top.
I restart HA, wait a few minutes to let the device fully, then restart once or twice more and everything shows up.
Not sure what Iām doing right; I never symlinked anything and simply have been with the same AIO install I did in May 16.
mine wont read my devices folder can i do it like this?
time_zone: America/Chicago
name: Home
customize: !include customize.yaml
devices: !include known_devices.yaml
config_path: \HOOVER-HA\config\known_devices.yaml
