I'm still not excluded, but I think it's a matter of time until he sees the same profile picture.
I was hoping to be able to test the eZLO plus some more, but given the temperature, i'd rather stay with the "Rafael group".

Utterly flabberghasting!

Edit: And there, i'm out too. Should we count how many eZLO plus beta testers he threw out? I have one.

I finally made the Domoticz link work, and then ported all Zigbee devices to the much better zigate plugin there. No change in latency at all, very sharp responses to door and motion sensors. Happy!

This plugin has its own GUI, and is almost structurally standalone. I've contacted the developers to ask if its possible with a direct API and to run it as a service to cut domoticz out of the chain..

I can now confirm that TRADFRI and Aqara will work together just fine, with repeaters helping for both systems:

PerH

The answer was offcourse logs. I didn't put in any limit to it, so everything is stored!

Found the solution here, update the docker compose files, and on we go.

PerH

Shouldn't this topic be set to "SOLVED"? Good luck with Hass, and not in the ironic way.

PerH

So, the resolution to the recent errors was that the UZB Stick was set up with "Bridge" firmware! to fix, go to ExpertUI - Network - Control - Firmware - Switch to "Normal" Firmware.
I may have been blinded by the "F**k, nothing i try works", but i think this detail could be more visible to beginners in some way, i.e. a small pop-up message when you try to add sensors in a-way (which requires normal mode FW).. I will pitch this to the z-way guys.

Onwards!

PerH

Cool! I'm currently on the Docker path, so i'll be setting up one for this. Ubuntu or debian? mabye Alipne, as VWout used for Openluup?

PerH

Contact!

Had to make a new token to make it work, theres no expiry of them, i hope?

Now i have to learn how to send "special" characters, it didnt even like "!".. But i don't intend to yell in my notifications anyway.

Sent one from reactor too Patrick.

To all you developer guys; Awesome job! thankyou for making this great HA system! Hope to join in on making some contributions myself.

Did this:
@rafale77 said in z-way-server ubuntu install:

@PerH

The problem is that libcurl3 is not in the standard repo you have listed.
assuming you are on ubuntu download it from here:

Ubuntu – Details of package libcurl3 in bionic

You need to pick from the correct platform.
wget --url you can paste from the link above--

i.e
wget http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/curl3/libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
downloading from the norwegian mirror for x64

Then run
dpkg -i libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
might need sudo authority to install.

Edit: Another idiot way to do it is to not install libcurl3 at all and instead create a symbolic link for libcurl3 to call libcurl4 (That's how I am running mine )
sudo ln -s /usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl-gnutls.so.4 /usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl-gnutls.so.3

sudo ln -s /usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 /usr/local/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.3
Note that you will need to find where your libcurl library was installed. I just gave you the ubuntu location.

and

apt install curl
systemctl disable openluup.service
systemctl enable openluup.service
systemctl start openluup.service

up and running again. Now the appstore is OK too, commencing attempt 2 on z-way bridge.

I have a docker running smoothly now, thought i'd share it. (and BTW, it looks awesome, Patrick!)
So far i've only opened 8111, and /config as volume. Mabye the full /reactor folder should be exposed for easy updating?

docker compose:

version: "3.9"
services:
  MSR:
    container_name: MSR
    restart: always
    image: perhu/msr-alpine:latest
    ports:
      - "8111:8111"
    networks:
      HAnett:
        ipv4_address: 192.168.0.8
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: /etc/localtime
        target: /etc/localtime
      - type: volume
        source: MSR-config
        target: /etc/reactor/config
      - type: volume
        source: MSR-storage
        target: /etc/reactor/storage
logging:
        driver: "json-file"
        options:
            max-file: "5"
            max-size: 10m
networks:
    HAnett:
        name: HAnett
        driver: bridge
        ipam:
            config:
                - subnet: 192.168.0.0/16
                  gateway: 192.168.0.254
volumes:
  MSR-config:
    name: MSR-config
  MSR-storage:
    name: MSR-storage

dockerfile for those who want to modify the image: (this works if you have unzipped MSR zip file to the same folder as the dockerfile)

FROM alpine:latest

COPY /reactor/. /etc/reactor/

RUN apk add --update nodejs npm && cd /etc/reactor \
        && npm install --loglevel error --no-save \
        && cp dist-config/* config/

VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/config"]

VOLUME ["/etc/reactor/storage"]

EXPOSE 8111

CMD ["/bin/sh"]

WORKDIR /etc/reactor

CMD ["node", "/etc/reactor/app.js"]

EDIT: 20210307 - updated with localtime bind

I suggest that you buy a xiaomi mi vacuum as well!

(good job!)

Yes, the regular sidebar with dashboards is scrollable, i ment the custom sidebar i tried for a in-dashboard sidebar..

PerH

Yes, it seems like I have to.. I tried the mentioned sidebar, but can't use it as I can't scroll it.. Kind of surprised that this simple thing isn't possible?

I wish I could at least group them in the sidebar in some way..

PerH

..and this had the answer i was looking for: https://github.com/DBuit/sidebar-card

PerH

the sidebar thing might be a solution, just don't quite know how to make the content change on the same tab?
I know I can add dashboards to the left sidebar, but i'd prefer to have that to choose other things (MSR/Z-way iFrames, configuration, different dashboards for phones/tabs/desktop, etc)

If I could duplicate the openLuup "devices" tab on one HASS Dashboard page - with the room sidebar on the left/right, and entities in the main area, i'd be happy!

PerH

Yes, but when i have tabs on a dashboard the tabs are situated at the top. I want them vertical to the left.. Merely because this is what i'm used to, and it allows for longer names without having to scroll off screen..

PerH

I've just started to look at HASS UI, and have seen enough to see that it has an infinite number of ways to show enitites and devices in all forms and shapes.. But for starters i'd like to have something familiar, so how do i go about getting a sidebar for rooms like in openluup?

I know i can put them in the actual left sidebar, but i'd prefer to keep that for configuration pages..

on each room page i'd like to sort the lights, the heaters, the sensors together, and i saw somewhere that HASS will do that for you if you play your cards (pun) right.. can't find it again now..

Any pointers to a beginner?

PerH

I've integrated Reactor and Z-Way Expert panel in my HA UI, but as it is iFrame, it will not work if I log in from the outside.

It would be great to access these in case my wife finds an automation flaw while I'm elsewhere, which seems to be the rule of thumb..

If I understand this right, all the dockers(reactor, z-way) host their own web server on the port, so it should be possible to get this throuh the HA "tunnel"(VPN or whatever its called)?

I noticed that my Octoprint camera is integrated differently, and can be seen on external connection as well even if i only give it a local address in setup?

PerH

I saw the problem HA is solving with dockers in Domoticz.. plugins that require different versions of packages can't co-exist and tears the system down.. To me it still seems weird to move to the "OS with nothing else on it" route though..

I run it in a docker now next to several other dockers, works well.

PerH

@sender said in Considering changing to HA - but what installation method?:

Z-way with an integration? Where did you find that?

The first integration step is done as far as I can see, so i guess its in line for the next HASS version?

After some tinkering i've gotten a docker up with HASS core on my "production" unit, and connected it to MSR.
I also added the Configurator/file editor docker so I can edit HASS and Reactor config from the web UI without firing up Putty.
MSR, Z-Way and File editor is added as iFrames, so now i can remove some bookmarks from my browser.
Tibber and Xiaomi MI integration dropped right in at first attempt.

Have to say that this looks very promising!

PerH

Sounds good! Kind of a strange path HA has taken, with a separate OS which needs to be alone and un-touched? I understand why offcourse, but i would think a slightly different approach to dockers would solve that?
It's probably on the roadmap..
