FreeBSD is fixed in 0.4.0.31, thanks!

Hi,
on a Raspberry 3, with a RaZberry card :
z-way-server works : i can configure and drive my devices through the website.

But running my app (written for python-openzwave 3.x) makes the z-way-server crashes :
(log in /var/log/z-way-server.log are :
RECEIVED UNKOWN PACKET TYPE: 0x00
....
Get Serial API Capablilites returned zero..
Notification: critical (z-wave): Cannot start Z-Wave binding: Error: Bad data - communication failed
)

the website running on 8083 says suddently "unable to load data" (instead of all the devices, and their values). My app seems to work, but nothing is sent or received from the devices (no communication)

OS (name, version, arch) : Raspbian(jessy) - 4.4.5 - armv7l
Python version (full version): python 3.4.2
Python openzwave version : 0.4.0.31
Python openzwave flavor (--git, --embed, ...) : (installed with pip3)

I don't really know where to start. I think there is something that is different in the way to use the module from the previous version. Is there any documentation on how to upgrade ?
Thx a lot :-)
Cheers

UPDATE :
Well, in facts, i was wrong, this is not the problem. Even with this error, the python module works (but the z-way-server crashes, that's true). My issue is this one : I have a Smart Switch AEOTEC Gen 5 (ref ZWO75). It is detected in z-way, i can switch it on and off. But in python-openzwave, this switch is not found in get_switches(). I made a test with api_demo.py, and the device is seen, i get its COMMAND_CLASS, etc, but Retrieve switch section is empty.

[bibi21000]

@sylvaincherrier :
There were no major updates in the python-openzwave library between 0.3 and 0.4. Most of the updates was in the setup process.
It seems that your problem comes from the openzwave c++ lib.
You can test the installation with pyozw_check -i -d /dev/xxxx. It may help you.
You can try the ozwdev flavor ... or fallback to an old version using the 0.3.x archives.
Hope this helps

[bibi21000]

Don't know if it"s related to your problem : OpenZWave/open-zwave#1210

[sylvaincherrier]

Thx for your answers.
I think i made mistakes : as i was checking my 0.3 version, i realise that z-way-server had crashed too. I think you can't run both z-way-server AND a program using the python-openzwave library, no ?
My problem was that my switch was not accessible with the get_switches() method (it was not the 0.4 version of the library that was guilty, but my new switch !)
My question is : how can i help you to make this switch being part of the result provided by the get_switches method ?
Cheers

[bibi21000]

What are the command_classes manage by your switch ?
Could you please cut and paste your comments from this issue in a new one ?
As said in the first post, the goal of this ticket is to follow the build of python-openzwave on different plateform.
Thanks in advance

Update:
OK, so, lesson learned. Install all dependencies first, then install python_openzwave with the --flavor option.

Using "pip install python_openzwave" failed with error "Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-oAEqGr/Louie/".

Checked the installation with "pyozw_check", but this command returned "command not found"

Anybody a suggestion how to resolve this problem?

[PeteCal]

Tried this for my RPi:
https://openzwave.github.io/python-openzwave/README.html

More problems then I can mention.
I get the feeling time has past openZwave by. But I need a replacement. I tried a few things including zwavejs2mqtt. I can't get anything to work.

If anyone crosses this thread, please give me some alternatives.
