Best way to install Domoticz on Ubuntu server 16.04

[cazz]

Hi
I have now reinstall the Domoticz over three times and not got it to work.
I have install it in three different ways but still have problem with it

I have no problem to install the Domoticz, I also have no problem to install OpenZwave (I get no error anyway)

But when I trying to add a node to the Aeon Labs Z-Stick USB Gen5 nothing happend.
I have a Z-Wave Schuko Plug-in Switch plus Power Meter and it does not show up when I trying to make Domoticz to find it.

i just downloaded the linux precompiled binary from domoticz downloads (stable) and openened up the tgz archive and installed on ubuntu 17.10 server. Using ZWave gen5 stick. No problems so far.

[cazz]

hmm ok, do you have any guide that I can follow?

[cogliostrio]

The easiest and quickest way would probably be as described here:

https://domoticz.com/downloads/

sudo curl -L install.domoticz.com | bash

[cazz]

ok I can try it again.
Last time I did install OpenZwave first but now I just run the command and see.

[cazz]

ok I have now install it again

After I have add the USB and see that Domoticz find it I go to the control panel
I select "Add Device" and press "Go"
Almost right after it say
"Error, contrlr, ERROR: Dropping command, expected response not received after 1 attempt(s)"

I press the button for " Z-Wave Schuko Plug-in Switch plus Power Meter" three times but nothing happend.
No new device start to show.

/Update
Have try a little more but same thing but her is the log

Did you tried hard resetting aoetec gen5 and adding the nodes again? Seems like there is no zwave nodes config on gen5. Try adding with off port, take out gen5 from usb, press gen 5 button, when blinking blue press node s button.

[cazz]

yes I did shut the computer down, remove the USB and push a the button until it led to be blue and then plug it in and start the server again

[febalci]

No please read the aoetec gen5 manual, when blinking blue do not plug it in usb. Take it near the node and press s button on node.

[cazz]

ok after I have done that and plug it in USB and start the server and look in the log I can see

2018-03-04 20:38:01.506 OpenZWave: New Node added. HomeID: 3878640583, NodeID: 1 (0x01)
2018-03-04 20:38:01.506 OpenZWave: New Node added. HomeID: 3878640583, NodeID: 1 (0x01)

I guess it is the new device but I can't see it?

[cazz]

Have no idea what I have done.
But today I did reconnect the USB and restart the Domoticz and now I can see it??

if you include a node but it dont show up, wake the node or do the include again (without exclude).

this helps for me.
