I am working on adding a few zwave components and I have gone through the Raspi Zwave installation documentation. But when I reboot the Pi and refresh the URL the Zwave nor the Sensor I have linked are showing up. Has anyone seen this before and how they got it working?
Others have listed challenges in removing the USB stick while the Pi is running. I have had good success with stopping home-assistant, removing the stick to add a device, and then reinsert the usb stick and then starting the services back up. No reboot required.
One interseting thing, I have 2 Ecolink motion sensors and each sensor shows up as four items in the web interface.
You will also see a lot of this info in the ./homeassistant/zwcfg_*.xml file. I edited this file to add a more meaninful name and location.
Tip - If you want to edit the file, Home Assistant HAS to be stopped before you open the file for editing.

I’ve tried copying the directory fix you suggested. HASS is still not seeing the Zwave USB. I’ve reboot the RasPi and HASS. I’m not sure if I just don’t have something setup properly (user error) which is the direction I’m leaning or if it’s a bad Zwave USB.
I was finally able to get the Zwave working. It all had to do with formatting. I am use to coding in SQL where tabs and spaces do not matter. In YAML, they do!
I stumbled across this thread because I have the same thing…EcoLink motion sensors, and 4 entries per device.
Why are there four entries? Which one should I be using if I want to trigger events based on motion?
Please use small words…I am just in my first baby steps with HA (I’m a SmartThings refugee) and I’m doing a trial run with just one room, a couple lights, and this motion sensor. So far I have my two lights in the HA UI, and that’s it.
I am using binary_sensor.basement_motion_sensor_5 , where 5 is the device ID.
I have renamed them a bit, but look for the binary_sensor.xxxxx_motion_sensor_ entries.
