Platform information: Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 OS: OpenHAB openHAB version: openHAB 2.5.5-1 (Release Build) Hi everyone, I bought a Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 and I was trying to connect it to the RPI I followed the steps: I downloaded the Z-wave binding Placed the stick into the RPI …

The USB stick is the device that controls the entire network. It is assigned to Node 1 by default. That has been properly connected to OH when you added the serial device (just another name for your USB stick) and configured the computer port it was assigned to. The way this binding works, when y…

Check if zstick shows up under same port after plugging in. At least in my case those devices often got different port for some reason after reconnecting (sometimes ttyACM0, other times ttyACM1)

It’s true that if you unplug the stick the port is often not released and that will lead to the assignment of a different port the next time you plug it in. In that case, however, it is the stick that is reported as offline. If OH found your Node 003 and your serial controller reports as online th…

Follow the binding instructions and submit debug level logs. The default level of logging is not very useful for troubleshooting.

the Z-Wave Node 003 is the Z-wave stick (Aoetec Z-stick Gen5) I was watching a tutorial on youtube and thats what the guy did

Ok so the Z-stick is working normaly however for some reason I still have that weird z wave device that i have no idea what it is but also I get even more devices that are not recognized which do not connect to anything that I simply have to ignore. [Capture] thank you everyone that helped

If a device shows up in your inbox with a human readable label (e.g., your node 6 - FGD212 Dimmer 2) then that device is properly included in the network, communicating its identifying information to OH, and using that identifying information OH can find that device the z-wave database in the bindin…

The device (node 6 - FGD212 Dimmer 2) is a ghost device because it used to work but then it stopped and I had to exclude it. Then when I would pair the same device node 6 would show up together with a new device (e.g., your node 8 - FGD212 Dimmer 2) which is esentially the same device only that now …

Here’s another post which describes this problem with ghost nodes along with a fix to remove them. [image] Deleted Zwave items keep popping up in Inbox as "unknown devices" The software @Bruce_Osborne is referring to is called Z-wave PC Controller. You can ma…

As you are using the Aeotec stick you may also wish to utilize their backup software before trying any network management so that you can restore your stick in case of problems. [image] Z-Stick Gen5 Backup Software This page provides the download for the Backup Software tool for Z-Stick…

Zwave binding doesn't see any devices?
