I also changed the topic prefix in order to better identify devices from MQTT client and/or home assistant. Just need to set up a broker address (the broker IP back home), authentication username and password. MQTT configurations are located at MQTT section. When not migrating from old secured system, but pairing everything again, a new key can be generated from the button next to S2 authenticated field. Going to Z-Wave configuration: only need only to configure Z-Wave device address (IвЂ™m using external USB device so itвЂ™s /dev/ttyACM0) and network key for authenticated devices. So navigating to with a browser should give ZWave2MQTT web page. Next step is of course to configure the ZWave2MQTT. So no need to worry about power loss/restart either. Starting the docker container: sudo docker-compose up -dД«y calling that command, it will start the container as a daemon and since вЂ docker-compose.yamlвЂ has restart set as вЂ alwaysвЂ the container will start automatically at reboot.

Just running these commands I got the software installed: cd ~Д«efore starting the container, I verified вЂ docker-compose.yamlвЂ file that my Aeotec Z-Wave USB device that is being forwarded to the container has proper USB address: вЂ /dev/ttyACM0:/dev/ttyACM0вЂ. ZWave2MQTT Docker container installation is rather simple when all the enablers are in place. Installing ZWave2MQTT as docker container Note: These issues are heavily dependant of the Linux distribution and Raspberry PI HW versions. now after boot it seems that docker can be installed properly ( apt-get upgrade) and all seems to be ok! That can be done by editing вЂ /boot/cmdline.txtвЂ and adding following lines in it: cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1 swapaccount=1 This is an kernel issue that can be solved by enabling cgroup memory and swap account.

Installed docker-ce package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1Д®rrors were encountered while processing:Д®: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)Д«y looking more closely the error by calling вЂ journalctl -u rviceвЂ it seems like my kernel does not support cgroup memory limit: Sep 13 17:38:11 raspberrypi dockerd: time='T17:38:11.933758328+01:00' level=warning msg='Your kernel does not support cgroup memory limit' However, on my Raspbian OS and Raspberry Pi 3B+ I got following docker-ce installation error: dpkg: error processing package docker-ce (-configure): That can be done that by calling following commands: cd ~

ZWAVE HOME CONTROL INSTALL

Installing dependenciesД«efore start installing ZWave2MQTT, I need to install docker, docker-compose and all the dependencies needed by those softwares.

ZWAVE HOME CONTROL UPDATE

But before going into that, IвЂ™m changing the default password to something else by calling command вЂ passwdвЂ and then upgrading the system with вЂ apt update & apt dist-upgradeвЂ.ДЄlso device name and timezone should be configured properly using command вЂ raspi-configвЂ. IвЂ™m installing ZWave2mqtt as a docker container to easily manage itвЂ™s backups in case of broken SD card. Ok, so the Raspbian OS is now booted up and ready to run. At least 5V/2A is needed without any external devices added. Another thing is to have strong enough power supply. SD card is not reliable enough in a long run and might get easily corrupted or even broken while doing constant writing to the SD card memory. Note: IвЂ™m currently using SD card, but might be swapping to SSD later on. Just to enable SSH by creating an empty file named вЂsshвЂ™ into SD-card вЂbootвЂ™.ДЄll done! Flashing is nice and easy with Raspberry PI Imager software. I decided to use plain Raspberry Pi OS Lite to avoid unnecessary packages along with crappy UI features, since I wonвЂ™t be having any display connected to the device.Дownloading the image and flashing it with RaspberryPi Imager to 32GB SD-card worked alright. Raspberry PI as Z-Wave gateway Choosing Raspberry Pi imageДЇirst things first, a proper raspberry pi image is needed. It will вЂconvertвЂ™ my Z-Wave devices to MQTT/Home Assistant compatible and forward those to my MQTT broker at home. For software part, ZWavej s 2mqtt should do the trick.

I have an old Raspberry Pi 3B+ lying around on the table so I decided to use that along with a new Aeotec Z-Wave stick gen5. My devices are directly communicating with my one and only Home Assistant instance running back home, therefore I will need a physical gateway to forward my Z-Wave network data to another location.

IвЂ™m currently not having a separate Home Assistant instance running in my summer home, but a VPN connection to home directly instead. That means one more device (Z-Wave gateway) at my summer home, but also enables me to use other Z-Wave devices as well like smart smoke detector. By choosing HeatIt Z-Wave thermostats to be used to control heating at summer home I need to install a Z-Wave network at my summer home.
