Aha! - a library. Seems I was trying to launch the unlaunchable
In addition to avoding docker, I am trying to get rid if the reliance on MQTT at least for my zwave controller. After a bit of reading, I managed to get zwave-js-server installed from scratch like this, if this might help anyone:
Prerequisites:
#Install ts-node and typescript (info here)
sudo npm install -g ts-node
sudo npm install -g typescript
#install git tool if not present
sudo apt install git
Installation:
#go to homedir and pull down zwave-js-server.
cd
git clone [email protected]:zwave-js/zwave-js-server.git
cd zwave2mqtt
launch
ts-node src/bin/server.ts /dev/ttyACM0
It launches all well and good:
However I’m a little stuck on the following:
1) What port is the web admin interface supposed to run on?
According to this blog, it’s supposed to be port 8091, yet it might be a docker thing, not sure. I’m presuming that port 3000 isn’t it, as that’s the websockets port where HA would be talking to wave-js-server?
2) Where is the configuration file supposed to go and what is it supposed to look like?
The template linked in the repo is a bit lacking in detail. For exaple, how exactly is the network key supposed to be formatted? ddeeaaddbbeeaaff…etc or with 0x, spaces and/or commas? Would be very grateful if somebody could post an example
Any help appreciated
