Debian 12 Bookworm?

[michap]

Is it possible to install Z-Way on actual Debian version?

With install script - not possible (not supported version)
With deb file - a lot of unmet dependencies...

Any idea?

Thanks!

Installing Z-Way Server on Raspberry Pi

Installing a Z-Way server on a Raspberry Pi is the recommended way to work with this software, in addition to the Raspberry Pi itself. You will also need a Z-Wave interface to communicate our future controller with other Z-Wave devices. For this configuration, we recommend purchasing the Razberry expansion board. We also have a version of the Razberry board with an external antenna.

PS: This expansion board can only work with one frequency at a time, but if you plan to use Z-Wave devices on different frequencies in your network, you will need to buy another Z-Wave interface, in the form of a USB stick.

Equipment:

• Raspberry Pi 4 2GB
• MicroSD Transcend 8GB Class 10 Speed
• Razberry 7

Installing the Operating System:

We will write the image using the official Raspberry Pi Imager software.

1. Select your device, for me it's Raspberry Pi 4
2. Select the image Raspberry Pi OS (Other) > RASPBERRY PI OS LITE (64-BIT)
3. Select your microSD card
4. In the pop-up window, enable SSH access (user pi and password razberry are indicated). You can also set up a connection to your home Wi-Fi access point here.

After writing the image, insert the microSD card into your Raspberry Pi, connect it to the router and power supply. After about 5 minutes, you can connect to your controller via SSH. The login and password are set during the image writing process.

Note: If you plan to connect this controller via HDMI to a monitor or access it via VNC, choose the full image which includes a desktop environment instead of a terminal.

Installing Z-Way Server

After we have connected via SSH, the last command to install the Z-Way server remains:

Code: Select all

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msazanov/Z-WayInstallScript/main/Z-Way-Install | sudo bash

Problem with Z-Way and Raspbian Bookworm:

Currently, Z-Way uses the libwebsockets16 library, but on Raspbian Bookworm, only libwebsockets17 is available. We will soon transition to a newer library version, but for now, here's a solution to this issue: Z-Way Knowledge Base.

SOLVED!

After we have connected via SSH, the last command to install the Z-Way server remains:

Code: Select all

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msazanov/Z-WayInstallScript/main/Z-Way-Install | sudo bash

Thanks, with your installation script the software is working again!

Thank you for your help!

I found another problem, now UART is disabled by default during installation (there is no device /dev/ttyAMA0)
to fix this, run this command:

Code: Select all

f=/boot/config.txt; u="enable_uart=1"; grep -q "^$u$" $f || (sudo sed -i "/^enable_uart/d" $f; echo $u | sudo tee -a $f; echo -e "\e[31mUART is enabled, reboot your RPI...\e[0m")

Hi,

maybe better:

Code: Select all

f=/boot/firmware/config.txt ...

because the /boot/config.txt is now a link to /boot/firmware/config.txt file ?
Otherwise the link will be overwritten (but not the linked file)
