jQuery?
You need to install make
, and may need to install serial ports directly.
see https://github.com/zwave-js/node-red-contrib-zwave-js/issues/17 for a fix.
@hufftheweevil,
We seem to be seeing this with HA, being uninvolved with HA, is this normal?, is there a reason why HA does not want to install certain deps?
Honestly, I don't know enough about HA to know if it's "normal" or not. But you're right that it is HA-related. Since @nappyjim was able to fix it with some config settings, maybe we should just add that info to the readme.
Ok,
I think this is the way Red has been integrated into HA - seems as if it's been cannibalised or the hass base images has stuff missing.
this also backs up @nappyjim approach.
Hi,
I was able to get the npm installed using @nappyjim method. However, I'm confused by the configuration.
I'm obviously another HA user. I have the Node-Red Add-On installed as well as the new Zwave JS Addon.
The Zwave JS Addon already connects to my USB Zwave Hub and I don't think the Zwave JS Node-Red NPM can connect to it at the same time.
I was expecting this Node-Red NPM to connect to the Zwave JS Addon (using websocket if I understand the technology correctly) that is already running in HA. Is it not possible to use both the HA Zwave JS Addon and the Zwave JS NodeRed NPM at the same time?
Hi,
The HA zwave js add-on is for HA. This add-on is nothing to do with HA.
It’s for node-red, which just so happens to also be available as an add-on for HA - which where the confusion might be.
The 2 plugins are entirely different things. One is for HA, the other is for node-red.
Hope that helps.

Yes, I'm starting to think this NPM isn't for what all us HA people thought it was for. HA just released a new Zwave JS integration in the latest release which is why you are probably getting all this traffic.
Us HA People are looking for a Node-Red NPM that will communicate to the Zwave JS instance running as an AddOn in HA. I don't think it exists... YET! =)
Thanks again!
That would actually make a lot of sense. but yup - this one is for node-red, regardless of its host/container.
I'm not positive, but I think the general HA community is leaning towards zwave-js-server as the official Zwave add-on. However, zwavejs2mqtt could also be used. It all really depends on how you want to wire it up to HA and Node-RED.
In my case, I use HA as more of a glorified container system. My HA entities are very limited and almost everything takes place in Node-RED. So using this package works just fine for me.
Closing as per discussions above.
