Title: New user: got lost
Post by: K.Rens on December 29, 2014, 01:47:22 PM

Hi,

I just bought a ZME_UZB1 stick and downloaded your package for the raspberry pi.
Once inside Homegenie, I updated to the last version and went to configure the z-wave device.
I saw following ports:
/dev/ttyAMA0
/dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS0

If I install the package for domoticz, I see following port:
/dev/ttyACM0

In Domoticz it worked right away, in HG none of the ports worked.
It did not discover my Fibaro devices.
It even created some weird Hue devices (that I don't own) when I selected S0.

To make a long story short: I was stuck and couldn't get it to work.
Maybe my stick is not supported (openzwave supports it), but you may want to work on improving this for newcomers.

I switched back to Domoticz, but I hope this feedback will help you improve it for the future.

Good luck!
Koen

The problem is that the /dev/ACM0 port was not coded in HG.
So try by manually putting this url in the browser:

Code: [Select]

http://192.168.xx.yy/api/MIGService.Interfaces/HomeAutomation.ZWave/Options.Set/Port/%2Fdev%2FttyACM0/

This will set port to /dev/ACM0.
Let me know if this works, so I can add this port to the next HG release.

Cheers,
g.

Hi,

That will probably work.
I recommend you to add this port anyway, as it works for Domoticz with ZME_UZB1.

I no longer have HG installed, so I cannot test it.
But I wish you all the best, your product looked awesome.

it seems as the usb stick gets activeted, but does not connect  to my sensor, but the problem could also be with mit fibaro motion sensor ...

Hi there,

I bought a Z-Wave ZME_UZB1 Me USB Stick and it is detected by Ubuntu 15.04 as /dev/ttyACM0. When I start HG (updated to newest version), I can't select this port, ttyS0, ttyS1 and so on.

I tried the workaround posted here

and it worked. So it seems that the ttyACM0 / ttyAMC1 ports are still not coded to HG? If so, could you add that? The stick works fine, but I have to manually select the port.

Hi,
I have just added an issue in github :
https://github.com/genielabs/HomeGenie/issues/194
And if i have spare time, i will try to do the code modification needed (but not a lot of chance).
You can try by yourself too ...
Bye

Hi,
The code seems to already have this case, but only for raspberry ... So you probably don't have one ?

Code: [Select]

                        if (Raspberry.Board.Current.IsRaspberryPi)
                        {
                            if (!portList.Contains("/dev/ttyAMA0"))
                                portList.Add("/dev/ttyAMA0"); // RaZberry
                            if (!portList.Contains("/dev/ttyACM0"))
                                portList.Add("/dev/ttyACM0"); // ZME_UZB1
                        }
