Failure adding ZWave Scene controller

Add-ons Bindings

Today I tried to add two ZWave scene controllers: Cooper RFWC5. I got them added to my primary controller and I followed this post to get them associated with my primary controller. In Habmin I see that each group has 1 member, and the member is the primary controller. Unfortunately, I am getting some errors when I start OpenHab. Any ideas? Here is the log output from startup:

Thanks in advance for your help.

None of the messages are actually errors - they just indicate the OH doesn’t support these classes - most are not required - or that OH has truncated the names.

The XML message is a streaming error with XStream with some character sets. I know what causes it, but it seems hard to get rid of. It should stop things working and will just mean a little more traffic on the network when the binding starts.

Thank you. It does seem that everything is working. I am going to see if I can rename the node and remove some junk that is following the actual name. The other interesting thing that I now need to solve is how to get the scene “OFF” command to only be for the button that I pushed instead of all of the buttons.
