Exact log error message

Post by Apotropaic »

Hi PoltoS

Can you please describe the exact log line/s I should be looking for, I am now on my second Razberry card after a RMA and I still have the same symptoms. I am now re-installing my raspbian OS but it would help me to understand exactly which line indicates the wrong firmware is present and what should the correct line be.

Is it - [2013-10-16 18:17:16.633] SETDATA controller.data.vendor = "Z-Wave.Me"

Thanks

We have investigated the issue. It seems that there is a problem in initialization code of the board.

I can confirm the echo commands have healed the replacement device I have.

Hello, i'm new user of raspberry pi B+ and razberry. I try to launch z-wave-server but i have an error.
when i run this command on a new razbian image i get this:
wget -q -O - http://razberry.z-wave.me/install | sudo bash
...
...
Start mongoose http server
ls: impossible d'accéder à config/zddx/*.xml: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
Usage: ./z-cfg-update <filename>
Starting z-way-server
Starting z-way-server: done.
Thank you for using RaZberry!

I cannot reach the user interface on port http://myaddress:8083.

when i run this command i get this:
10:12 pi@raspberrypi /opt/z-way-server % sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./libs .
/z-way-server

And when looking in to the log, the log file shows : "No controller device found"

Try this first:
echo -ne "\x01\x04\x00\x42\x01\xB8" > /dev/ttyAMA0
echo -ne "\x01\x03\x00\x08\xf4" > /dev/ttyAMA0
And restart Z-Way.

What is the date written on your RaZberry? Is it 14.09.2014?

echo -ne "\x01\x04\x00\x42\x01\xB8" > /dev/ttyAMA0
echo -ne "\x01\x03\x00\x08\xf4" > /dev/ttyAMA0
I have a new Razberry that was showing "Notification: critical (z-wave): Can not start Z-Wave binding: Error: Bad data - communication failed" in the logs. After about 30 nervous minutes searching the forum, THIS is the magic incantation that brought my Razberry to life. Thanks.
