This project should help you jump-starting your cheap but still cool home-assistant (home automation) project based on a
- raspberry pi (v.3 in my case, any should do though)
- razberry 2 as z-wave controller (probably any USB/GPIO should do)
- A docker-host enabled distribution ( See the wiki)
It is also designed to be a boilerplate for your hass production environment
What i will do here is, describe one way i took to get it done, with what i think is best practise. It might be very true, that you have chosen a different path e.g.
- choosing a different OS
- not using Docker at all
- not using Z-wave
- using a different Z-Wave controller
- not using Home Assistant
If you create issues or questions, please ensure you keep the following scope of this project:
- Z-Wave only ( no matter which controller type, be it USB/GPIO )
- Home-Assistant only
- Raspberry Pi only (no matter which version)
Be aware, that i will not describe how to do the alternative way e.g. not using Docker and so on, while this does not mean, it cannot be done - more its a effort thing. I will simply not focus on providing those, but i would be glad to see you add this sections in the wiki and contribute so we can have a broader base for everybody.
- Get a raspberry and a z-wave controller of your choice.
- I have chosen a Raspberry Pi 3
- and the Z-Wave Z-Wave.Me Razberry 2 - GPIO controller
- See the Docker-FAQ for the basics
Head over to the wiki and start with getting on board!
You already have docker and basically know what your are doing? Well then its all fairly easy
git clone https://github.com/EugenMayer/home-assistant-raspberry-zwave hass
cd hass
./run.sh
Now access your rpi on port 8123 using your browser and welcome to hass :)
If you done testing an really want to start, run
./craete_production_env.sh
./run.sh
Now you can adjust your configuration in production, files are ignored in this repo so you can safely run hass there in customize your installation
