AEOTEC DB54 integration issue

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: RPI3
    • OS: raspian jessie
    • Java Runtime Environment: 1.8.0_152
    • openHAB version: openHAB 2.3.0-1 (Release Build)

I am facing an issue with integrating a AEOTEC water sensor in openhab. I successfully integrated the sensor into openhab and configured the thing successfully. In the z-wave debug log I see events when putting the sensor into water and removing it from the water:

But the connected items do not receive any event. Here is my item configuration in .items file:
Switch Wasser_binary “Wasser Schalter” { channel=“zwave:device:fc7b8887:node17:sensor_binary” }
Switch Flut_binary “Flut Schalter” { channel=“zwave:device:fc7b8887:node17:alarm_flood” }

Here a screenshot of the Thing from paperUI

Does anyone have an idea on what is wrong with my configuration here?

Possibly nothing. Does Habmin show the devices as having completed initialization? You could also find this in the logs. Until it the Thing is initialized, the items won’t get data.
