Installing with openzwave on MAC OS X

[charlysquare]

Hi,
I'm trying to add the Aeon stick on the hardware setup.
I can select Openzwave USB, but I cannot select the serial port in the box.
I'm running Mac OS x 10.9

Any ideas ?

what is the name of the serial port?
maybe you can use the wiki for 'persistent' devices and set it to /dev/ttyUSB20

Hello,

on OSX, the tty USB port are not /dev/ttyUSBx

For the AEON stick it is :
/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART and /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART

In order to use it with domoticz, you have to create a symbolic link with /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART.

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART /dev/ttyUSB0 

unfortunately, you have to make this command on every reboot.

there is another solution (i don't now how to make a svn for the dev team) :
Add in the Helper.cpp line 100 :

Code: Select all

#ifdef __APPLE__
			if (fname.find("cu.")!=std::string::npos)
			{
				bUseDirectPath=true;
				ret.push_back("/dev/" + fname);
			}
#endif

It work here (OSX 10.6)

I will add the code below, thanks !

Code: Select all

    #ifdef __APPLE__
             if (fname.find("cu.")!=std::string::npos)
             {
                bUseDirectPath=true;
                ret.push_back("/dev/" + fname);
             }
    #endif

Hi All,

I recently switched from a Homewizard to Domoticz. I’m running Domoticz on a macmini 2011 with Mavericks (10.9.3) installed.

I’m trying to compile openzwave (bought the Aeotec Z-Stick Series 2). I’ve installed the drivers and as far as I can tell compiling goes well. I’ve got the libraries in the folder but Domoticz keeps telling me that it can not find openzwave during compilation.

I’ve tested the setup on windows and that works so I know the stick is ok. I’ve followed the instructions above and I’m running version 1.1757 from Domoticz.

Any ideas? Do I have to copy files from openzwave to domoticz.

No, your folder should look like

- open-zwave-read-only
- domoticz

so the development checkout should be in the same folder as the openzwave checkout

After this, the cmake script should find the compiled openzwave files.

if not, delete the cmake cache files

Got it working!

Thanks!

Hi, I try to use domoticz on my mac mini. Seems the openzwave compile goes okay. When I try to compile domoticz this also works. I can start the webserver, but whatever I do I can't add openzwave to domoticz. I used macports and have one folder containing open-wave--read-only and domoticz in their folders in. I still don't see the openzwave option to add. Any idea anyone?

[gizmocuz]

looks your openzwave folder has a wrong name, there should be two folders:

- dev-domoticz (might be another name, source should be in here)
- open-zwave-read-only

make sure you checkout the source like:

svn co http://open-zwave.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ open-zwave-read-only
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/domoticz/code/trunk/ dev-domoticz

Got it working. Used Brew and that mixed up things. Cleaned all and used Mac Ports. Works much easier. It is working now on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10 thnx!

I am just not there yet.

I installed downloaded open wave and compiled it
I downloaded and compiled domoticz (it said with open wave functionality)

But when I start domoticz there is no openzwave USB visible (I have a Vision USB dongle). It sees my RFX controller, but no zwave. Is there something I missed ?

I am using Mac OS 10.11

I have same problem. Porting my domoticz from my Rasp Pi. Open Zwave does not show up on mac. Looking for workaround now
