Arming Envisalink panel from MSR

@tamorgen Yep, went thru that. I believe this thread covered it: https://smarthome.community/topic/1116/zwavejs-controller-question-s/19?_=1680386140317

@tamorgen Yep, went thru that. I believe this thread covered it: https://smarthome.community/topic/1116/zwavejs-controller-question-s/19?_=1680386140317

What did you have to do? @Pabla said "You can only run one or the other. Uninstall whichever add on you don't need and try again, I ran into the same issue.". One or the other what? Am I not able to to use Zwave JS UI if I want to use ZwaveJSController?

[tamorgen]

@gwp1, am I understanding that you can only have Zwave JS or Zwave JS UI installed? I thought they were integrated into each other. I tried disabling the Zwave JS instance, and all of my devices in Reactor disappeared. I tried connecting to the ws after disabling Zwave JS, and it still wouldn’t connect. What am I missing?

Did you have to do all of your Reactor rules?

@toggledbits , can you please move the ZWaveJSController section of this thread to a new one? I've seen to gone off on a tangent.

@tamorgen Yep, went thru the exact same thing.

The only addon in Home Asst is:

My ZWaveJSController config:

@gwp1

That's what I have as well. Z-Wave JS UI is the only add-on shown in the HACS add-on store, however, when I go to Settings --> Devices and Services, Z-Wave JS is shown as an integration. Do you not have that one?

Just so I understand clearly, do I need to Delete Z-wave JS from Devices and Services to get this to work? When I tried disabling that integration, all of my devices disappeared from all of my Dashboards, and from MSR. Is the idea that I'd be managing them in ZWaveJS Controller on MSR instead?

I guess I'm trying to figure out what level of effort this is gong to be. I have a pretty complex ruleset and some fairly complex dashboards, so I'm afraid if I delete Z-Wave JS from HA, I'm be starting over from scratch.

This was mentioned in the other thread that @gwp1 linked earlier. The port not being published/exposed is a high likelihood in this scenario.

Cannot connect to host core-zwave-js:3000 · Issue #63670 · home-assistant/core

The problem Getting a strange error in the logs about secure connections internally, using the Z-wave JS integration. What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? core-2021.12.8 What was the ...

Also, remember to restart Home Assistant and its integrations/services when making any changes to their configuration (incl ZWaveJS).

[gwp1]

@tamorgen Yes, I have ZWaveJS under settings>devices & services

Those devices are my iBlinds, the ZWave stick, and a couple anscillary things.

@toggledbits is correct - it took (IIRC) a couple times of config/restart and then everything dropped right into place.

Remember... I'm using a ZWave stick off of Home Assistant as well as MSR's ZWaveJSController.

@gwp1
Okay, that's what I'm attempting. So long as I don't have to delete Z-Wave JS and start over, I can work through this issue.

[tamorgen]

Figured out the issue. HA has moved crap all over the place over the past year, and some of those directions in the other thread are out date. Here is the problem I found. It still leads back to @Pabla 's comment about only one instance running.

When I went to HACS --> Add-ons, I saw a screen, with only Z-Wave JS UI. If I go to Settings --> Add-Ons, it shows Z-Wave JS and Z-Wave JS UI.

I went into Z-Wave JS in the Add-On screen, and changed the Start On Boot to off, and all of a sudden, the Z-Wave JS Controller connected.

Crazy!

@tamorgen That sounds vaguely familiar!
