Getting z-wave module working under ubuntu

[marcosti]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the z-wave module working under Ubuntu/Domoticz, however up until now I've not succeeded in this. Does anybody have any pointers or directions to information about how to get the z-wave module up and running (under Ubuntu/Domoticz)?

Hi,

Domoticz only support Z-Wave USB Dongle(/dev/ttyACM0). I tested domoticz with Z-Wave USB Dongle, it working well.

Pine64 Z-Wave module running on bus Z-wave(/dev/ttyS2)

If you using Bus Z-Wave, you can try to use  openHAB
Link #1
Link #2

"Only support USB dongle"? Where did you get that from?

Domoticz can be run on the RPi with the Razberry Z-wave module so why shouldn't a similar module work? On the RPi you only need to add a tty symlink (don't remember which direction).

I haven't had time to try it yet myself yet but here's a guide for the Razberry: http://www.vesternet.com/resources/appli...AjMOoZeCEd

Hi bontera,

Thanks for pointing out this. I just get my bus Z-Wave and tested it working.

Running command below:

Code:

ln -s /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyACM0

Then restart your domoticz, you will able add the z-wave module into it.

Okay, I've figured it out, thanks for all your suggestions!!

The way I managed to have the bus Z-Wave working is doing the following:
1. Create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-tty.rules, and add the following (copy the complete line, including the quotes and all); 
KERNEL=="ttyS2", SYMLINK+="ttyACM0"

This will make sure that every time you reboot your Pine64, the symbolic link is re-established under the /dev-directory. This is needed since all entries in the /dev-directory are recreated on each boot. So, instead of manually creating a symbolic link each time after the Pine64 boots up, have the udev-rules take care of that for you!

2. make sure that you use beta-releases of Domoticz (under Setup->Settings). Otherwise you will not have the option to select 'OpenZWave USB'.
3. reboot your Pine64, and go to Setup-Hardware and register an OpenZWave USB component, using port '/dev/ttyACM0'

That's it, this enables your bus ZWave module.
