zwave login failing on fresh install

[casper]

I have a raspberry pi B+, I have installed the zwave image from razberry website. I see the log in screen from the find.z-wave.me address (z-way remote access screen). It shows me the username and password boxes. I have tried entering this information from the raspberry pi screen but it does not authenticate it displays the message "Remote access not possible or wrong password". I have tried resetting the password to just the number 1 and then try to log in but it still does not work. I have tried clicking on the address shown at the bottom the box (my raspberry pi ip address) (direct connect) but this just shows me three folder tabs (firmware update, network information etc). I have tried doing this with image mentioned above and from a fresh install (use noobs to install debian and then run the wget to install zwave. I don't understand what or how to diagnose what is wrong since I cannot log into the zwave-me local website. I have tried setting the ip address to a static address but this does not seem to help. Any ideas to why this is so difficult. I would expect the image installation to be very easy.

There are several ways to access the zway interface which I'll do my best to detail.

1 - If you are on the same network the pi is on go to http://[pi ip address]:8083
That should give you the actual z-way interface

2 - It looks like you found the remote login stuff on http://[pi ip address]:8084 (where it shows the 3 tabs for firmware, network, etc) Go to that page, create a password, and save the changes. Then make sure in the next tab the checkbox for "allow remote connections" is checked.
Then go to the find.z-wave.me address, and put in the username / password that's shown on http://[pi ip address]:8084 (assuming it didn't break with the last update or something)

3 - You can setup port forwarding on your router to port 8083 of the pi and access it from anywhere. WARNING: This is not secure! Unless you setup apache as a front end for https access or something similar and then redirect locally any one who finds that port can turn your lights on/off, read your power, open locks, etc.

Hopefully that will help you get going.

thanks for responding. Let's take all the internet access off the table and I just want to be able to use it on my local network for now.
Do I need the "allow remote connections" enabled to be able to connect to it on the local network?
Also, when I install the image it shows a username and password on the pi screen. Should I be able to immediately use this to log into the razberry (http:pi ip address:8084) without changing anything? This did not work for me. Maybe enabling allow remote connections is the key.

I cant access the screen that says "choose a user interface". I have set the ip address, I have set the password. When I go to http://pi address:8084 I am always given the "z way configuration screen". When I go to "find.zwave.me, I enter the username and password and then I am shown "Remote access not possible or wrong password" Since I have tried this over a dozen times I know I am not mistyping. Any ideas on what could be going wrong or what I can look at to see what is wrong? I have made sure the allow remote access flag is checked.

To access it the user interface go to port 8083, not 8084. 8084 is the config screen which you are seeing.
Allow remote access is only used for remote login via the find.zwave service. locally just go to port 8083 of the device. Remeber, just switch to port 8083

http://pi addess:8083

That should solve it

and the bright light bulb turns on. Wow, I can't believe I missed that one. Thank you, Thank you.

I am able to enter the local access. I see the "choose a user interface". I cannot access the expert interface it displays error "Error handling data from server". I see the error as soon as I click the expert ui go button and it sends me to "http://192.168.1.22:8083/expert/#/" Any idea for this error?

Rappo, can you connect to SSH on your Razberry? What is configuration of your system?

[Rappo]

Yes, I am able to connect to the Razberry using SSH. I am no command line expert though...

I am using v2.0.1-rc12.

What platform do you use? Raspberry?
There is a good article to check https://www.domotiga.nl/projects/domoti ... e_RaZberry

Shortly speaking.
1. Check your Expert UI Network->Controller Info. What data is there?
2. Login via SSH and check your Razberry dongle device name with the command

Code: Select all

ls /dev/

There should be ttyAMA0 present in the list
3. Check the process user of your Razbery dongle

Code: Select all

sudo fuser /dev/ttyAMA0

The answer should be like that

Code: Select all

/dev/ttyAMA0: 23000

23000 is the process number (may be different in your case)
Then check the process name

Code: Select all

sudo ps aux|grep 23000

You will get lines with process names there should be 'z-way-server' name

If everything OK go to HomeAutomation UI in browser and check Preferenses->Automation->'Z-wave binding module' ->serial port to z-wave dongle

If nothing helps you can attach '/var/log/z-way-server.log' for analysis
