How to get the Zwave Driver status

[sebekhtc]

Once a month my zwave stick (Gen 5+) is not responding showing similar (taken from another thread):

In such case the ls shows that device is connected and docker restart fixes it.
I would like to restart it whenever my cron python script detects Driver NOT ready.

How to pull the shown above driver info using eg. curl etc in linux (Raspberry Pi)?

you could use the health api: https://zwave-js.github.io/zwave-js-ui/#/guide/healthcheck?id=health-check-endpoints

thanks a lot!
I remember that
curl localhost:8091/health/zwave -H "Accept: text/plain"
showed me OK as a response in driver error/not ready state.
Will try the wget next time and check numbers received.

Let me know

@sebekhtc I have just submitted a possible fix that could have caused the curl command to not return the correct status. Please if you are using docker switch to master tag once the build finish: https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/actions/runs/8449004280/job/23142192398

had no idea about that... thought is always active. Anyway I can see that master has been built. going to update.

Just to explain better: Controller is your zwave antenna, each information you see on UI passes through it, that's why having a last seen on it just have no sense :)

[sebekhtc]

I'm wondering why other nodes have last seen while controller does not. Is it the same as Last Active column at the zwave control panel? All nodes including controller have it.

if i sort the nodes by the Last Active, the controller is active (as TX/RX is ongoing) like the other nodes, and controller stays on the top (second or third place as responding to it the devices come to the top).
If I can see that controller's last activity value is hour(s) from current time there should be something wrong, shouldn't be?

I see that controller debug info has a value lastActive:
"lastActive": 1711555323039,
that is live, how to read it by curl/wget etc? Where is that file located?

[robertsLando]

it is there but as said you should ignore it. Use the helath endpoints them are reliable

ok, I will monitor the situation together with my script checking the last active time for all connected devices based on the command I developed to get the highest last active Epoch time
cat /opt/zwavejsui/store/ce758003.jsonl | jq -c 'select(.k | endswith("lastSeen")) |.v' | sort -un | tail -1
