Configuring zigbee binding

[Bruce_Osborne]

You can install a newer Zigbee binding on 2.4. I recommend users this install scrip with IH running.

Zigbee and zwave manual install script

A number of people have run into trouble performing manual installs of the Zigbee and Z-Wave bindings. A manual install (dropping the jar into addons) is rarely needed, but some people prefer a manual install over apt-get, or want to use a stable OH release with a recent Zigbee or Z-Wave binding. Here is a script that will hopefully make it easier to install, upgrade, and uninstall these bindings, and prevent some of the common issues. Who would benefit from this script: Anyone wanting to tes…

Hopefully 1GB ram on it will be enough.

That should be fine, I’m using a pi with 1GB ram as well (even with zram enabled for logs and swap).

I am interested in motion sensors as well. […] The price of the devices is a bit of a concern for me

Afaik @chris has just added support for the Tradfri motion sensors, those might be an option…

I have not been able to get a manual zigbee install working since it was migrated to bnd. And I have not tested anything on 2.4 for quite a while. Rather than copying the jar and dependencies into /addons/, I find it easier to use bundle:update. I plan to update the script, but my interest in OH is waning.

arturas:

I managed to install the 2.5 SNAPSHOT on 2.4 stable last week - it works fine, but requires the xstream dependency which took me a while to find.
