@chris
Today i did a fresh openhabian install om another rpi laying around. With another aeon gen 5 stick, factory resetted. Updated to the latest snapshot true openhabian.
Toen i tried a z wave inclusion, and got exactly the same issue,The new discovered thing only showed up after a restart of the service or the binding.
I will take another look when I get a chance. It is not especially easy to find this sort of error as itās completely unclear why the processing of incoming messages is stopping.
@chris I built a version of the binding with your PR. I did an inclusion, and it worked without issue. I donāt have time right now to do much more testing, but so far so good.
