# Home Assistant Add-on: Z-Wave JS
## Installation
Follow these steps to get the add-on installed on your system:
1. Navigate in your Home Assistant frontend to **Supervisor** -> **Add-on Store**.
2. Find the "Z-Wave JS" add-on and click it.
3. Click on the "INSTALL" button.
## How to use
The add-on needs to know where your Z-Wave stick can be found, and therefore,
you'll need to configure the add-on to point to the right device.
If you're using Home Assistant you may find the correct value for this on the
`Supervisor -> System -> Host system -> Hardware` page. It is recommended
to use a "by-id" path to the device if one exists, as it is not subject to
change if other devices are added to the system.
1. Replace `null` in the `device` option in the add-on configuration and specify
the device name in quotes: e.g., something like
`"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00"`,
`"/dev/ttyUSB0"`, `"/dev/ttyAMA0"`, or `"/dev/ttyACM0"`.
2. Set your 16-byte network key in the form `0x01, 0x02...` used in order to
connect securely to compatible devices. It is recommended that a network key
is configured as security enabled devices may not function correctly if they
are not added securely.
3. Click on "SAVE" to save the add-on configuration.
4. Start the add-on.
5. Add the Z-Wave JS integration to Home Assistant, see documentation:
<https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zwave_js>
## Configuration
Add-on configuration:
```yaml
device: /dev/ttyUSB0
network_key: 2232666D100F795E5BB17F0A1BB7A146
```
### Option `device`
The device address of your Z-Wave controller.
If you're using Home Assistant you may find the correct value for this on the
`Supervisor -> System -> Host system -> Hardware` page. It is recommended
to use a "by-id" path to the device if one exists, as it is not subject to
change if other devices are added to the system.
In most cases this looks like one of the following:
- `"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00"`
- `"/dev/ttyUSB0"`
- `"/dev/ttyAMA0"`
- `"/dev/ttyACM0"`
### Option `network_key`
Security Z-Wave devices require a network key before being added to the network.
You must set the `network_key` configuration option to use a network key before
adding these devices.
If you don't add an network key, it will autogenerate this for you.
To generate a network key manual, you can use the following script in, e.g., the SSH
add-on:
```bash
hexdump -n 16 -e '4/4 "%08X" 1 "\n"' /dev/random
```
You can also use sites like this one to generate the required data:
<https://www.random.org/cgi-bin/randbyte?nbytes=16&format=h>
Ensure you keep a backup of this key. If you have to rebuild your system and
don't have a backup of this key, you won't be able to reconnect to any security
devices. This may mean you have to do a factory reset on those devices, and your
controller, before rebuilding your Z-Wave network.
### Option `emulate_hardware` (optional)
If you don't have a USB stick, you can use a fake stick.
## Known issues and limitations
- Your hardware needs to be compatible with Z-Wave JS library
