This is a web based interface for automating things around the home. It can monitor doors, windows, motion detection and turn electrical things on and off.

The server software is in two pieces, Z-Wave JS and HASS. Z-Wave (nodejs) reads a USB stick and manages the connection and commands to various Z-WAVE compatible wireless devices. HASS (python) displays and automates monitoring and reacting to the devices by communication to Z-Wave over the WebSocket service (ws://localhost:3000). I install and run the docker images of these packages.

ws: WebSocket
ip: TCP/IP
zw: Z-Wave

Reference:

Plug in Zooz S2 stick 700

This is a USB radio for wireless communication to the Z-Wave family of home automation devices.

Like:

light switch
door alarm
window alarm
motion detector
thermostat

Model (US): ZST10-700; US Frequency Band: 908.42 MHz; Z-Wave Plus: USB-A [1]

Find the name of the device for the USB Stick. Here it is '/dev/ttyUSB0'.

Install Software

Option (1): TrueNAS App

If you already have TrueNAS installed this is a much easier option. I run HA on TrueNAS Scale (Linux Debian) now. If your TrueNAS never moves from the HA device location, this makes even more sense than, say, a laptop.

(1) App for Home-Assistant

Home-Assistant is software to show and control your devices, and perform automation.

Using the TrueNAS web interface, select Apps.
In the Tab, select Available Applilcations.
Select the home-assistant app. Then select:
- timezone
- under Storage, check Host Path and navagate to a spot on your NAS filesystem where you want your configuration.yaml, the input field is called Host Path for Home Assistant Configuration Storage Volume EX: /mnt/vol042/ha/hass
- it should pick an open port for you, larger than 9001
- save, and Navigate your browser to the Home-Assistant console : <http://localhost:<port>/control-panel> and create a new login.

TrueNAS App puts event and statistics data in a postgresql database [1], instead of sqlite (the default).

Access the database from the App menu (3 dots), then Shell.


# psql  -U postgres -d homeassistance
psql (13.1 (Debian 13.1-1.pgdg100+1))
Type "help" for help.

homeassistance=# \dt
                 List of relations
 Schema |         Name          | Type  |  Owner   
--------+-----------------------+-------+----------
 public | event_data            | table | postgres
 public | event_types           | table | postgres
 public | events                | table | postgres
 public | recorder_runs         | table | postgres
 public | schema_changes        | table | postgres
 public | state_attributes      | table | postgres
 public | states                | table | postgres
 public | states_meta           | table | postgres
 public | statistics            | table | postgres
 public | statistics_meta       | table | postgres
 public | statistics_runs       | table | postgres
 public | statistics_short_term | table | postgres
(12 rows)

homeassistance=# select count(*) from events;
 count 
-------
  4470
(1 row)

homeassistance=# \q
# exit

Your Home-Assistant install will look for a configuration file in the docker /config directory. You can find it here [2]:


$ sudo docker ps --filter="name=home-assistant"|head -2
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                          COMMAND                  CREATED        STATUS        PORTS     NAMES
b87237af7a25   homeassistant/home-assistant   "/init"                  11 hours ago   Up 11 hours             k8s_home-assistant_home-assistant-d88b55479-rsgpb_ix-home-assistant_11a62bf0-b8e2-4108-a597-1a6c448dd01d_0

# Use the NAMES and grep for config
$ sudo docker container inspect   k8s_home-assistant_home-assistant-d88b55479-rsgpb_ix-home-assistant_11a62bf0-b8e2-4108-a597-1a6c448dd01d_0 |grep config
                "/mnt/vol042/ha/hass:/config",
                "Destination": "/config",
            "WorkingDir": "/config",

The port number is here


$ sudo docker container inspect   k8s_home-assistant_home-assistant-d88b55479-rsgpb_ix-home-assistant_11a62bf0-b8e2-4108-a597-1a6c448dd01d_0 |grep HOME_ASSISTANT_PORT=
                "HOME_ASSISTANT_PORT=tcp://172.17.216.154:22401",

Just ignore the 172... IP Address, it is only for internal docker. A bridge network makes it available to the Host's public IP Address. This example port number is 22401, so I would put into my browser : http://localhost:22401/. You may need to substitute localhost with your public IP Address.

Reference:

(1) Daemon to run ZWave-JS-UI

ZWave-JS-UI is a node application to interface with the USB stick and Home Assistant.

Move to one level below your Host Path designated above for Home-Assistant (EX: /mnt/vol042/ha), and install ZWave-JS-UI [1]


$ mkdir zwave-js-ui
$ cd zwave-js-ui
# download latest version
$ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases/latest  \
| grep "browser_download_url.*zip" \
| cut -d : -f 2,3 \
| tr -d \" \
| wget -i -

unzip zwave-js-ui-v*.zip

Put zwave-run.sh in TrueNAS > System > Advanced > Init/Shutdown Scripts ... with POSTINIT

File: zwave-run.sh


#!/bin/bash
DIR=/mnt/vol042/ha
LOG=zwave-run.log
#
cd ${DIR}
nohup sudo ${DIR}/zwave-js-ui-linux >> ${DIR}/${LOG} 2>&1 &

Navigate your browser to Z_Wave-JS-UI console : http://localhost:8091/control-panel and perform the Z_Wave-JS-UI setup [1]. You may need to substitute localhost with your public IP Address.

I disabled MQTT to get rid of Error: connect ECONNREFUSED messages in the debug log window of ZWave-JS-UI, since the HA to ZWAV communication is done via WebSockets (ws://localhost:3000).

Reference:

https://zwave-js.github.io/zwave-js-ui/#/usage/setup

(1) Skip Option (2) and proceed to section -> Configuration for other Zooz products

Option (2): Docker Package Install

This option installs and runs two docker images, one for Home-Assistant, and another for ZWave-JS-UI.


$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg \
    lsb-release

(2) Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu

Follow the latest guide here:

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

Make sure you are about to install Comunity Edition (ce) from the Docker repo instead of the default Ubuntu repo by adding Docker’s official GPG key, before setting up the repository


$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

$ sudo systemctl status docker

FYI: Docker download OS selection: https://download.docker.com/linux/


centos/
debian/
fedora/
raspbian/
rhel/
sles/
static/
ubuntu/

(2) Run Docker to Install homeassistant

May need to run docker with the --init parameter first. Then stop and restart without init.


export HOME=$(pwd)
$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
$ docker run -d \
  --name homeassistant \
  --restart=always \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
  -v ${HOME}/hass:/config \
  --device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 \
  -e "DISABLE_JEMALLOC=true" \
  --network=host \
  -p 3000 \
  homeassistant/home-assistant:stable
#
# To Remove and re-install:
docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. 
The container name "/homeassistant" is already in use by container "5113815f15cb79a0ea19f1888e6efdd39aa9108c60675fe10b515aa162c2e72b". 
You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.
See 'docker run --help'.

# docker stop 5113815f15cb79a0ea19f1888e6efdd39aa9108c60675fe10b515aa162c2e72b
5113815f15cb79a0ea19f1888e6efdd39aa9108c60675fe10b515aa162c2e72b

# docker rm 5113815f15cb79a0ea19f1888e6efdd39aa9108c60675fe10b515aa162c2e72b
5113815f15cb79a0ea19f1888e6efdd39aa9108c60675fe10b515aa162c2e72b

(2) Run Z-Wave JS Server

Create a new directory for the zwave-js server configuration files


export HOME=$(pwd)
$ sudo mkdir ${HOME}/zwavejs

Run the docker container (the first port listed is for the Z-Wave JS Web Interface, the second port is the Z-Wave JS WebSocket listener)

May need to run docker with the --init parameter first. Then stop and restart without init.


$ sudo docker run -d --restart=always  -p 8091:8091 -p 3000:3000 --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 --name="zwave-js" -e "TZ=America/NewYork" -v ${HOME}/zwavejs:/usr/src/app/store zwavejs/zwavejs2mqtt:latest

(2) Check Docker Status


# docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                 COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                                                                                  NAMES
d977c2674a80   homeassistant/home-assistant:stable   "/init"                  24 minutes ago   Up 24 minutes                                                                                          homeassistant
99769272d748   zwavejs/zwavejs2mqtt:latest           "docker-entrypoint.s…"   42 minutes ago   Up 42 minutes   0.0.0.0:3000->3000/tcp, :::3000->3000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8091->8091/tcp, :::8091->8091/tcp   zwave-js

(2) Move Container/Image to SSD (/data)

Put this file in /etc/docker/daemon.json:

File: daemon.json


{ 
   "data-root": "/data/docker" 
}

Stop docker


$ sudo service docker stop

Make dorectory, copy files into it, change the old name


$ mkdir /data/docker

$ sudo rsync -aP /var/lib/docker/ /data/docker

$ sudo mv /var/lib/docker /var/lib/docker.old

Ready to start on the new directory


$ sudo service docker start

test . test . test . test . test .

Then:


$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker.old

(2) Default Route was getting messed up with docker

So changed NetworkInterfaceBlacklist in connman main.cf file as follows:


[General]
PreferredTechnologies=ethernet,wifi
SingleConnectedTechnology=false
AllowHostnameUpdates=false
PersistentTetheringMode=true
NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=SoftAp0,usb0,usb1,vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb,veth-,vb-
Used to be:
NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=SoftAp0,usb0,usb1
...
Then restart connman:
$ sudo systemctl restart connman

Upgrade

Option: TrueNAS

Homeassistant app can be updated using TrueNAS app screen, 3 dot menu in the home-assistant app.
Z-Wave-JS-UI latest can re downloaded.

Option: Docker

You can find the latest, stable, and development builds on docker hub here: https://hub.docker.com/u/homeassistant

During the upgrade your devices will continue to work fine, but please note any automations or access to the application will not be available, so it’s recommended to do this during a time that you know no automations will be running.

Validate your current version

Navigate to the Developer Tools section of Home Assistant. Here you can validate the latest version you currently have deployed.

#
# Purpose: Keep HomeAssistant up to date
#
# Dependencies: homeassistant and zwave-js are installed via docker
#  Z-Wave USB device may be different
#  Time zone may be different
#
# Process:
#   1. Stop the current container
#   2. Delete it
#   3. Pull the new container from the docker hub
#   4. Run the container again
#
# The config directory is not in the container, so it remains untouched.

Lights for WALL-E

The relay module ZEN16 is wired to a switch on the garage door. When it is open a red light is displayed on Wall-E, when the door is closed a green light is shown.

Wall-E

A USB charger is used to supply 5 volts DC (BAT1) to the circuit. Circuit switch S1 is connected to the ZEN16 relay R2 connection. Q1 is a 2N2222 transistor. A closed circuit supplies voltage to LED2, open circuit supplies voltage to LED1.

Here is the electrical diagram for that:

Circuit

ZEN16 Relay

ZEN16 will monitor its switch Sw2 below, if is closed, then turn on relay R2, closing the circuit switch S1 above. Home Assistant will detect the change in relay R2 and issue notifications using its automation.yaml definition "alias: Garage Door Open".

ZEN16 will respond to relay R1 on/off commands from Home Assistant. The automation.yaml definition is called "alias: Bedroom Alarm" and turns on relay R1 at 6:00am. A Home Assistant dashboard button is enabled to turn relay R1 off.

Garage door connections:

Purpose	Connection	HomeAssistant Entity_ID
Garage Door Switch	Sw2	N/A
Wall-E Light Circuit	R2	switch.garage_door_relay_zen16_2_2
Alarm Light Radio	R1	switch.garage_door_relay_zen16_2

ZEN16

Alarm Light Radio - Diagram

The Power-Tail-Switch is a 120v AC relay controlled by 5v DC. The ZEN16 acts as a switch to turn relay R1 on and off. This opens/closes the 5v DC voltage flow to enable/disable the 102v AC voltage through the PowerSwitchTail, that sends power to the power strip turning on/off the radio and light plugged into it.
