Home Assistant with socat for remote zwave

Based on homeassistant-home-assistant image, published on docker hub.

Please report issues on github.

Instead of using a locally-connected zwave device (usb stick/etc), we can use a serial device mapped over the network with ser2net and then map it to a local zwave serial device with socat.

This docker container ensures that

• a zwave device is mapped in the local docker with socat

• home assistant is running

If there are any failures, both socat and home assistant will be restarted.

Environment options:

All homeassistant-home-assistant image options are available and on top of that a few others have been added:

DEBUG_VERBOSE=0

Default: 0

PAUSE_BETWEEN_CHECKS=2

In seconds, how much time to wait between checking running processes.

SOCAT_ZWAVE_TYPE="tcp"

SOCAT_ZWAVE_HOST="192.168.5.5"

SOCAT_ZWAVE_PORT="7676"

What the zwave device should be mapped to. Use this in your home assistant configuration file.
