RaZberry in Banana Pi - problem

Hi,

I want to use my Razberry board on Banana Pi (more power, more memory).
Unfortunately it is looking that the GPIO is differently recognised on Banana PI.

Can somebody help me in how to set up this and how to make this working?
I was trying to find something on Google - but I found nothing.....

My raspberry is too weak to handle Z-wave server with Domoticz which I want to use as front-end with some extra API.
So idea is to put everything on one board of Banana Pi with z-wave server as the main system to control my devices.

Hope sb had the same issue and can help me.

Thanks.... Michal

Hi,

Excuse me, I am also trying to install my Razberry card on my Banana Pi but I have a problem.

After installing the Z-Wave controller software, the contents of my /opt/z-way-server/config.xml file is:

<config>
<automation-dir>automation</automation-dir>
<log-file>/var/log/z-way-server.log</log-file>
<log-level>0</log-level>
<debug-port></debug-port>
</config>

And, When the z-way-server server starts, I have the following errors in the logs :

[core] --- Starting Z-Wave Module binding
[C] [i / o] Failed to open device: No such file or directory
[E] [Zway] SaveData won't save data since It Was not loaded. This is to prevent prevention data loss.
[core] Notification: critical (z-wave): Can not start Z-Wave binding: Error: Invalid Port

By connecting the HA UI, I had the following errors : "Can not start Z-Wave binding: Error: Invalid port"
I have not found in either the HA UI or in the Expert UI where to change the port to /dev/ttyS2
In the Configuration part of the Expert UI, I only the following message: "Error handling data from server"

So I manually changed the port settings in "/opt/z-way-server/automation/modules/ZWave/module.json" and "/opt/z-way-server/automation/updateBackendConfig.js" but without success

I also tried adding the following lines in the file config.xml:

<device>/dev/ttyS2</device>
<port>8083</port>

But I still have the same errors in the log file and in HA UI.

I wonder if the Razberry card is seen by the system (Raspbian_For_BananaPi_v1412 + apt-get update and dist-upgrade)

How to be sure that the card is discovered by the system?
And how to know how the card is associated TTY?
The file /var/log/dmesg it contains a trace of the discovery of the Razberry card?

Thank you in advance for your help

Go to http://yourip:8083/z-way-ha/ preferences / Automation / Z-wave binding and put the right port here (eg. ttyS2 for bananapi).

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to buy a Banana Pi board for z-wave, but I don't which of them is compatible with z-wave card. Can you please write me which Banana Pi do you have?

Thanks a lot!
