I cannot answer this question as I am running a RazBerry Shield. AFAIK the license is included there so that I don’t have to do anything to add it manually. Perhaps you should ask the designer of ZWay, because that is a “problem” with ZWay itself.
Selecting your Zway-server thing and editing it you need to give you password of the Zway user. This mostly should be the admin user. So what user do you use to go to http://zwayserver-IP:8083/ ?
I cannot help you with the third question. But perhaps it goes away after fixing the other questions?
@pathec I’m trying to install the ZWay library on Ubuntu 16.04. I followed the instructions in here and I have some questions (the installation instructions here are for the RaZberry, not for Ubuntu):
Download Z-Way v2.2.3 or newer (further information about installing Z-Way you can find here)
I downloaded z-way-server-Ubuntu-v2.3.0.tgz into ~/Downloads and extracted it into the directory /home/avner/Downloads/z-way-server
When I try to start the server with service z-way-server restart, I get the error message Failed to restart z-way-server.service: Unit z-way-server.service not found.
I think that this is because the z-way-server is installed into a local directory. So instead, I’m executing it in the foreground
pushd /home/avner/Downloads/z-way-server
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/avner/Downloads/z-way-server/libs
set | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/avner/Downloads/z-way-server/z-way-server
I’m following the description from the openHAB master branch. In it you point to here, which mentions
Download Z-Way v2.2.3 or newer (further information about installing Z-Way you can find here)
Can you elaborate on how to deploy the Z-Way v2.2.3 package?
If I download the file to e.g. ~/Downloads and extract it, the directory ~/Downloads/z-way-server is created.
How do you make it a service? (so that it can be started with service z-way-server restart)
I think you shouldn’t link a dimmer item to a channel with accepted item type number (Switch multilevel has accepted item type number). However, the UI does allow that, the binding can’t handle this, because the binding can only send state updates over the channel with a specific state type (decimal, dimmer, …). The problem is now that I have defined multilevel switches with accepted item type number and a item of type dimmer needs the state type percentage. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
A solution would be to set item type of switch multilevel channels to dimmer. But before I change that I would check that in detail.
I think I would like to have that to. Without doing further configurations using the Control-Tab in PaperUI I just can type in a number/int to set a dimmable value. I could write a rule to handle the interaction. Or am I overseeing something?
To the latest update: Kai meant the modeling as a channel is not optimal, because only functionalities should be defined as channels. That is why we have agreed to define the information as a property of a thing. I think this is acceptable, because the quick link on the control view (PaperUI) leads directly to the thing details and there is the time of the last update.
The feature was megerd today, so it should be the next days in the snapshot release.
I’ve created a pull request with the new channel definition for switch multilevel as dimmer. Also added On/Off commands for multilevel switches.
If you want test it, download the test version. I had to uninstall Z-Way in my production system, move the file to addons folder and recreate the multilevel things before it worked.
