ZWave config - LibOpenZwave Exception

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I am new in the game and just installed the latest HASS image (0.36.1) on my new Synology DS716+II in a Docker container.

HASS is up and running, atomatically detecting my Hue lights and my Sonos speakers.

But it shows an “Invalid Config” message for zwave.

This is my config:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
  config_path: /srv/hass/hass_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.1-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config

the ls command shows a ttyACM0 device - though it might not be the correct one.

But the home-assistent.log shows an exception:
libopenzwave.LibZWaveException: "LibOpenZwave Generic Exception : Can't find config directory /srv/hass/hass_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.1-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config"

So I assume, that there was change in the image recently and now this config snippet fails. Correct?

I am coming from the .NET / C# / rich client. Therefore this Linux / Bash / Python stuff is totally new for me. But I am eager to learn! :wink:

What happens if you remove the config_path? I run on Synology via Docker, and I omit that line since it’s optional.

Yes! The error in the log is gone now and the “owz_log.txt” tells me, that there is something going on with the zwave stick. Thank you!

Now I just need to learn how to connect and configure all the zwave sensors.

You have to add them in ozwcp (stop homassistant first).

5

how to do that, when HASS runs in a Docker container?

6

I’ve never used Open Zwave Control Panel (OZWCP) with Home Assistant. This is not a requirement.

My USB path is also /dev/ttyACM0. For Docker, you need to make sure you have this device mapped to your Docker container. (via --device parameter). Did you do this step? What error is owz_log.txt telling you ?

In the meantime the docker container is successfully mapped to the ZWave stick.

Now having a hard time, to connect/configure the devices (Aeotec Smart Switch 6 and Aoetec Door Controller).
Honestly - I didn’t expect that it is that hard…
