Difficulty migrating to ZwaveJS2Mqtt

Good evening,
I am one of the 13 on Z-Wave..
I have a plug and a sensor from Fibaro. I followed the recommendations for the migration to MQTT.
For the plug, it’s impossible to control it; it was working in V3 and V4.
For the sensor: I still have the temperature and brightness,
the motion detection, battery %

Good evening @Heclim,
Have you installed zwavejs2mqtt and Node-RED?

Hello @Heclim,

Thanks for taking the time to try to migrate and sorry about this change ^^

I’ve moved your message into a separate thread so as not to mix it with the development of the new Z-Wave service :slight_smile:

Hello _Will_71,
no
could you tell

Hello @Heclim,

Okay, without these two components (while waiting for the new Z-Wave integration), it’s normal that it doesn’t work!

By the way, what’s your skill level? You say you’re just a regular user, but here you’ll need to get your hands a bit dirty. Do you know how to enter commands in a terminal?

To start you can follow @pierre-gilles’s tutorial for installing Node-RED

I just watched Pierre-Gilles’ video.
What worries me more is the command syntax to start creating the Node-RED Docker.
When I get to my RPi, it just displays
« gladys login: »
Do I have to enter my password? Or can I start the creation with the docker run command?
Using Node-RED will take me a bit of time, but it should do the job.

User: pi
Password: raspberry

I hadn’t left ‹ raspberry › as the password
I just pasted mine,

This is where you can enter the container creation commands

I’m getting started

I get an error message when validating after changing the Node-RED password
[ Error writing /var/lib/node-red/settings.js: Permission denied ]

no password change for now I will see later,

That’s the main thing. The password isn’t that important because you’re working ‹ locally ›, offline.

After installing the Z-Wave module on Node-RED, the server connection dropped, and since then it’s been impossible to connect.
When I run docker ps, the Node-RED container restarts every 20 seconds. I’m stopping for today and I’ll redo a complete installation including Gladys, probably on a disk…

Because you probably need to run the command with sudo. You didn’t have write access to the file

You’re right @_Will_71, that info is missing from the tutorial.
