Hi, Firstly; noob-alert
I have the current setup:
RPI#1; RPI 4b 8Gb with Debian 64bit + HA Supervised running. Bluetooth active in order to manage Plejd devices.
RPI#2; RPI 4b 4GB with Zway GPIO / UART / Pi hat card and Z-way.me software running.
Iāve been told itās wise to keep the Z-wave gateway separate from the HA installation. This way the Zwave network remain intact no matter what āmoodā the HA installation is in.
The Z-way.me has a MQTT add on in their āapp storeā. Iāve tried to set that up to work with ZwaveJs2MQTT add-on in HA using the Mosquitto add-on. But I found our that ZwaveJS2MQTT still wanted a serial port for the Zwave dongle/cardā¦ So after many tries I gave up on this.
Instead I tried installing ser2net on RP!#1 and make the AMA0 available on a TCP port.
And install socat on RPI#2 in order to create a virtual serial port for Zwavejs2MQTT.
I tried many various setups but didnāt get that to work either.
Iām not sure if any of these two approaches are any good?
If so, my failure is likely due to the fact Iām a newbie to this and Iām trying to follow guides I find in this forum and similar. The issue is I havenāt found the exact same use-case, hence Iām not sure how to modify the codes to math my setupā¦ I I try and try but doesnāt seem to get it to work.
I will very soon just buy a Fibaro gateway and use that instead. But every since my Home Center 2 got bricked I promised myself to never spend another $$ with them.
The new Aeon stick compatible with the RPI4 is also an alternative.
But the best and most cost effective way would be to get the hardware I have on hard to function properly. I like the Z-way software, it seems very robust and powerful.
Does anyone run the same setup as I and can guide me through this? Screen shots with the correct settings or links to actual guides where one doesnāt have to be fluent in Linux would be awsome
Many thanks!
