Help with Aeon Labs Gen5 z-stick

Got my z-wave switches in and decided to get my z-wave stick up and running.

I have successfully installed OpenHAB
I have properly edited my openhab.cfg.

################################ Z-Wave  Binding ######################################
#
# The Z-Wave controller port. Valid values are e.g. COM1 for Windows and /dev/ttyS0 or
# /dev/ttyUSB0 for Linux
zwave:port=/dev/ttyUSB0

# Z-Wave nightly heal time. This is the hour (eg 2AM) at which the automatic nightly
# network heal will be performed.
zwave:healtime=2

I have installed the z-wave binding.
I have added user openhab to the dialout group

sudo usermod openhab -a -G dialout

I have updated and rebooted.with the USB stick plugged in.

Here are some outputs:

pi@OpenHAB ~ $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0658:0200 Sigma Designs, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I am navigating in HABmin to Configurations -> Bindings I select the ZWAVE - Z-Wave Binding and then Open the Devices Tab I see nothing. If I click on Heal/Exclude/Include, I get an error message “Error sending action to server”

I apologize for my lack of linux knowledge. My understanding from what I read is that the Gen5 should be PnP on the RPi and my googling is sending me around in circles.

Thank you for your help.

Are you sure it’s the right port?
I installed OH on different RPi’s with Raspbian and the zwave usb stick was always /dev/ttyACM0

You should give it a try …
