[Z-Wave](http://www.z-wave.com/) support for Home Assistant is very new. We have started now by integrating only the sensors.
|
|
|
|
Support for Z-Wave can be added by plugging a Z-Wave USB stick into your computer.
|
|
|
|
To allow Home Assistant to talk to your Z-Wave USB stick you will have to compile `Python Open Z-Wave` yourself. We have made it easy and added a script that will do just that for you: `script/build_python_openzwave`.
|
|
|
|
Please make sure you have the correct dependencies installed:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install cython3 libudev-dev python-sphinx python3-setuptools
|
|
pip3 install cython
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As an alternative, the Home Assistant docker image has support for Z-Wave built-in.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
zwave:
|
|
usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **usb_path** (*Required*): The port where your device is connected to your Home Assistant host.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls /dev/ttyUSB*
|
|
```
