Help! Z-wave on rPi for node-red

I find myself with a spare Z-wave stick (z-wave.me). So I thought I'd add it to the rPi that lives in my storage building, which communicates with Indigo using MQTT.

Should be simple, but it's not. I need to install OpenZwave, which I've managed to do a couple different ways. But I also need node-openzwave-shared, which is requires for node-red. That fails miserably every time I try. First, I aways get dozens of these warnings while building the package:

Code: Select all

                reinterpret_cast<Callback>(callback), type);
/home/pi/.cache/node-gyp/10.19.0/include/node/v8.h: In instantiation of ‘void v8::PersistentBase<T>::SetWeak(P*, typename v8::WeakCallbackInfo<P>::Callback, v8::WeakCallbackType) [with P = node::ObjectWrap; T = v8::Object; typename v8::WeakCallbackInfo<P>::Callback = void (*)(const v8::WeakCallbackInfo<node::ObjectWrap>&)]’:

                reinterpret_cast<Callback>(callback), type);


But it does seem to build. Then I get this major failure:

Code: Select all

But it's there:

Here's where I'm starting: https://www.npmjs.com/package/openzwave-shared

I don't think these errors have anything to do with the specific Z-wave stick. It's all about the NPM build.

Has anyone done this?

Funnily enough this was just what I was thinking this morning. I am getting far too many delays with my Zwave TRVs so thinking about off loading them to a pi and running on node-red.

Not going to happen any time soon, but will follow with interest at your success!
