Who are my Home Assistant + ZWave-JS users?
-
Finally got there... MSR-zwavejs installation (docker) went very well, no issues there. It was a different story with HASS. I am running an unsupported version of Home Assistant Supervised on a raspberry pi (bulleyes). I had to get rid of the zwave2mqtt addon and install it by itself (still with docker). Then I had to re-install the zwavejs integration. Home assistant documentation for zwave has a procedure to migrate the integratio to a new server without losing any devices. That helped alot.
@toggledbits, you should be seeing some data going you way. If not let me know. I will also complete my transition from vera to zwavejs in the following days. So more devices will eventually show up.

Can you please first answer my question? It's pretty much work what you ask.
Question: I know reactor by name. Do I need it? I have 80 zwavjes devices and a fully loaded homeassistant (+20 integrations)If you're not a current Reactor user and familiar with it, this isn't the situation in which to learn. I'll remove you from the test list.

I will have my first update to post later today with some fixes and a lot of new device support (thanks to those of you running so far -- lots of data, good stuff!).
-
@toggledbits Since we are at the beginning of this, should we put a header like "ZWAVE-JS" at the begining of the title for every new post related to Zwave-JS just to flag the topic? Or do we keep on going into this thread for all issues, questions, etc...?
How would you like us to proceed?

Build 22049 for zwavejs now posted. Some bug fixes, and a lot of device mapping.

Hello, i'm running zwavejs2mqtt addon on Home Assistant and the addon don't allow to connect to the addon via IP address. Is there a solution for this or i'm out of luck?
I'm running my Reactor on a docker on Unraid, and home assistant os as a VM on the unraid, i can't install docker zwavejs2mqtt because for some unknown reason my zwave stick loses a connection with the docker after couple of days and cant find the solution for that.
cheers

@toggledbits why not answer my question? Do I need msr? What's in it (extra) for me?

@sender If you're happy with whatever you are using for automations, you may not need Reactor. If you're struggling with Node-Red or find HA's native automations too limiting or clunky, then Reactor may be an alternative you find agreeable.

Build 22050:
- Continued improvements in attribute mapping for devices (locks are entirely new in this release).
- Z-Wave device polling see docs
-
Build 22051:
- Fix node/entity-specific interval on polling
- More device updates and action enhancements
-
Build 22052:
- Fix startup synchronization issue causing problems for polling when connection reset/restarts.

Hello, i managed to connect the HA add on to reactor. The first thing i noticed is that mappings for fan on ZXT-600 and ZXT-120 IR extender for AC are incorrect, on reactor are as follows: 0-off, 1 - auto, 2 - continuous, 3 - periodic, 4 - low, 5 - medium, 6 - high, in zwavejs web console are 0 - Auto low, 1- Low, 3 - High, 5 - Medium

As I mentionned earlier in this thread, I also had issues with the zwavejs2mqtt HA addon. The only option I found was to remove the addon and install it stand alone but still in Docker.
I am just curious to know your setup and how you manage to make it work still using the HA addon.
Thanks

Expect LOTS of device mappings to be off, or very generic. Not all devices follow the Z-Wave spec recommendations, particularly legacy Z-Wave devices, and even some first-generation Plus devices. I imagine this is why the Gen 2 specs are a good bit tighter. Regardless, every oddity and exception has to be handled as what it is, which is why I collect data from the interface. I literally sit and spend hours picking through your devices. On every new release, check those devices that previously didn't seem right. If, after a release or two, things still look or behave oddly, do let me know (specific data, please; if you say "X doesn't work" and nothing else, I will ignore it).

Many thanks

Reactor has its own set of values for its capabilities. These are mapped (or not) into the ZWave standard values supported by the command class, and/or what the device actually supports. Reactor's list is not limited by what the device does, although choosing values the device doesn't support usually won't do anything (or cause a default to be chosen, device-dependent); this has always been true for all devices on all controllers in Reactor.
EDIT: I see where you are getting the numbers, and that's actually a bug (an ancient one, at that) in the Reaction editor, nothing to do with ZWaveController specifically. That is now fixed both for general release 22053 and zwavejs build 22053.
