ioBroker zwave Adapter

---

WARNING: This adapter is no longer maintained!

The main developer of OpenZWave has announced that he'll focus on other things from now on. As a result, OpenZWave and this adapter won't get any updates going forward.

Solution: Use ioBroker.zwave2 instead.

Note: If you are going to switch to ioBroker.zwave2, be aware that the state IDs will change. It is recommended that you use the ioBroker alias function instead of the adapter's IDs in scripts and visualizations so you can change them all in one place instead of having to edit many things.

Zwave support with openzwave.

For this adapter is used rather good supported npm module: https://github.com/OpenZWave/node-openzwave-shared You should find out what the name has USB port of the Z-Wave stick and setup it in the adapter settings.

Important Information

• On first run, the Adapter needs some time, to calculate all Objects within iobroker.
• If you add a Device, let the adapter do it's job and wait a little bit.
• If a Device is not visible within the included Admistration Site, it's not fully imported into ioBroker.

Installation

First of all, Implementation is tested only on ARM Linux (e.g. Raspberry Pi (2)). You need a fully Development Environment (gcc, make,...)

Install additional packages

On some systems it will be necessary to install additional packages. Therefore run the following on the console before installing the adapter:

apt-get install pkg-config libudev-dev build-essential curl unzip

Raspberry Pi3 only: Activate GPIO UART

On Raspberry Pi 3, the UART is by default occupied by the bluetooth module. To activate it for use with a GPIO module, follow these steps:

1. sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

   1. remove console=serial0,115200
   2. save the file and close it

2. sudo nano /boot/config.txt
   Look for each of the following lines. If they are commented out with a #, remove that. If they don't exist, add them to the end of the file:

   • dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt
   • enable_uart=1
   • force_turbo=1

3. reboot

First start

The GPIO module usually has an address like /dev/ttyAMA0 or /dev/ttyACM0. The USB stick can be found under /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1.

• Go into iobroker admin and add the Zwave Adapter (the installation is rather long, be patient)
• Start the new zwave Adapter instance and select the controller device's address from the dropdown in the admin UI.
• If your device is not detected, check it or try to manually enter its address when the adapter is turned off.
• Wait until the indicator in the "Instances" tab turns green or the message "zwave.0 Scan completed" is found in the iobroker log.

Known issues

If you get the following (or similar) error after starting the adapter

libopenzwave.so.1.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

you can fix it by running

sudo ldconfig

or

sudo ldconfig /usr/local

or

sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib64

If all of those commands don't work, the following process might:

1. sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/zwave.conf

   1. enter /usr/local/lib64
   2. quit the editor with CTRL+X, confirm with Y to save the changes

2. sudo ldconfig

Configuration

Within Admin Settings you can set following Attributes

• USB name (the USB Port of your Z-Wave stick)
• Logging (enable logging to OZW_Log.txt)
• Console Output (copy logging to the console, Logs all to ioBroker.log)
• Save Config (write an XML network layout create a /zwcfg_.xml on linux)
• Driver Attempts (try this many times before giving up)
• Poll Interval (interval between polls in milliseconds)
• Suppress Refresh (do not send updates if nothing changed)

Logfiles / Configuration Settings

If you have installed iobroker into default Folder:

• Logfile: /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.zwave/node_modules/openzwave-shared/OZW_Log.txt on linux
• Configuration: /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.zwave/nodemodules/zwcfg.xml on linux

Device add or remove

If you add or remove a device, it takes 60 seconds. Then the page is automatically reloaded.

If you change the Name or Location, it takes 5 seconds. Then the page is automatically reloaded.

Features

Within OpenZWave Configurator you can see all Nodes and their classes.

Following Actions are current supported (only with context menu):

• Set Name and Set Location for Node itself
• Change Value of a class

Following global Actions are current supported:

• Add Nodes
• Remove Nodes
• Refresh Nodes (Refresh Nodes from ioBroker Communication)
