Eaton RF9601 no channels are available on Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5. Paper UI picks up the switch - but no channels are available to control. Also the LED on the switch does not go solid.

Welcome!

Is there any particular reason you are running an old Snapshot version of openHAB instead of a stable version? There was apparently an issue with the particular database entry you are referencing. It has since been deleted and a different entry is now used. I recommend moving to the Stable repository and installing the latest version, 2.5.5, I believe.

Delete the Thing from openHAB (do NOT exclude from the network) and then rediscover and add back to get the new binding settings.

Bruce -

Thanks for the quick reply - the reason was the snapshot was the only way for some of the dimmers to work - but that was a while ago when I added the last devices.

I updated to 2.5.5-1 and will let you know. So far it hasn’t picked up all my old devices - but going to let it sit for a little bit to spin and resolve itself.

Thank you,
Dan

2 things that seem to be “regular” now. Clear the cache and try restarting OH. I had to restart once last time. Some say up to 3 times is needed.

Cleared the cache. rebooted numerous times. not picking up the rogue node and can not discover Zwave devices.

Paper UI - search for things > zwave binding > it prompts me to add the Zwave controler which is already online.
Tried HabAdmin as well - same story - click on Config > Things > Discovery - only see my two other bindings.

not sure what I am doing wrong - but at a loss and can’t find anything on the topic in search…

Thanks in advance.

For anyone that get to this point… I did the following to get back to working order…

  • exclude each device from the existing network
  • in HABmin, delete each zwave thing, including the controller
  • shutdown openHAB
    sudo systemctl stop openhab2
  • exclude all devices (hold down Aeon stick button until orange - walk around w/ stick and turn on/off switch - Aeon stick should blink to confirm exclusion and each device should now be blinking looking for a controller.
  • delete any remaining node.xml files -
    found in /var/lib/openhab2/zwave
    ls to look at the directory
    rm *.xml
    ls to confirm delete
    sudo openhab-cli clean-cache
    sudo reboot
  • start HABmin
  • add the stick and configure the port
  • include devices
    Search and include from Paper UI
