Support all configuration options in config.js

[synthead]

This is example_config.js:

zwave-js-server/example_config.js

Lines 1 to 18 in 1fb161d

	module.exports = {
	logConfig: {
	filename: "/var/log/zwave/zwave",
	forceConsole: true,
	logToFile: true,
	level: "info",
	},
	storage: {
	cacheDir: "/opt/zwave_js_server/data",
	deviceConfigPriorityDir: "/opt/zwave_js_server/data/config",
	},
	// Generated with: "< /dev/urandom tr -dc A-F0-9 | head -c32 ;echo"
	securityKeys: {
	S0_Legacy: Buffer.from("<NETWORK_KEY>", "hex"),
	},
	};

Here is where the config file is parsed:

zwave-js-server/src/bin/server.ts

Lines 68 to 133 in 1fb161d

	if (configPath) {
	try {
	// Pull presets out of options so we can pass them to the driver
	({ presets: presetNames, ...options } = require(configPath));
	// If both securityKeys.S0_Legacy and networkKey are defined, throw an error.
	if (options.securityKeys?.S0_Legacy && options.networkKey) {
	throw new Error(
	"Both `networkKey` and `securityKeys.S0_Legacy` options are present in the " +
	"config. Remove `networkKey`.",
	);
	}
	const securityKeyNames = [
	"S0_Legacy",
	"S2_AccessControl",
	"S2_Authenticated",
	"S2_Unauthenticated",
	];
	// We prefer the securityKeys option over the networkKey one
	if (options.securityKeys) {
	for (const key of securityKeyNames) {
	if (key in options.securityKeys) {
	options.securityKeys[key] = normalizeKey(
	options.securityKeys[key],
	`securityKeys.${key}`,
	);
	}
	}
	}
	// If we get here, securityKeys.S0_Legacy is not defined, so we can safely use networkKey
	// make sure that networkKey is passed as buffer and accept both zwave2mqtt format and ozw format
	if (options.networkKey) {
	if (!options.securityKeys) options.securityKeys = {};
	options.securityKeys.S0_Legacy = normalizeKey(
	options.networkKey,
	"networkKey",
	);
	console.warn(
	"The `networkKey` option is deprecated in favor of `securityKeys` option. To eliminate " +
	"this warning, move your networkKey into the securityKeys.S0_Legacy option. Refer to " +
	"the Z-Wave JS docs for more information",
	);
	delete options.networkKey;
	} else if (!options.securityKeys?.S0_Legacy)
	throw new Error("Error: `securityKeys.S0_Legacy` key is missing.");
	// Support long range keys
	const securityKeysLongRangeNames = [
	"S2_AccessControl",
	"S2_Authenticated",
	];
	if (options.securityKeysLongRange) {
	for (const key of securityKeysLongRangeNames) {
	if (key in options.securityKeysLongRange) {
	options.securityKeysLongRange[key] = normalizeKey(
	options.securityKeysLongRange[key],
	`securityKeysLongRange.${key}`,
	);
	}
	}
	}
	} catch (err) {
	console.error(`Error: failed loading config file ${configPath}`);
	console.error(err);
	return;
	}
	}

It supports a lot of options, but it does not support "mock-driver", "port", "host", or "disable-dns-sd" options. Instead, these options are parsed separately:

zwave-js-server/src/bin/server.ts

Lines 34 to 41 in 1fb161d

	const args = parseArgs<Args>([
	"_",
	"config",
	"mock-driver",
	"port",
	"host",
	"disable-dns-sd",
	]);

It would be really great to be able to tell zwave-js-server to "read all my config options" and have the port, host, encryption keys, and the like all in one place. This would make it a lot easier to maintain individual configurations for each zwave device and its corresponding server, which is useful for how zwave-js-server is typically deployed on a server.

For example, this is the zwave-js-server package in the Arch Linux AUR:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zwave-js-server

Here is the [email protected] file that it includes (link):

[Unit]
Description=ZWave-JS Server Daemon "%i" instance
Before=home-assistant.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/zwave-server /dev/%I

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

If we could pass a configuration file to zwave-server and have everything we need, then this would be great 😄

Thanks for the great project! Cheers!
