I did get it working initially. I recently added an additional zen31 controller and I had problems getting that one to work. Not sure if something changed in the more recent versions or if I did something slightly differently. I haven’t had time to really dig into it but from what I could tell, I had the thing/items configured exactly the same way as the others but it doesn’t respond to the raw channel.
@chris Somehow this still doesn’t work. Any idea what’s going on?
I am sending the csv-commands to the color_raw1 channel of a Fibaro RGBW2 dimmer.
*.items file
String RGBW2_RAW {channel = "zwave:device:controller:node44:color_raw1", autoupdate="False"}
Color RGBW2_Color {channel = "zwave:device:controller:node44:color_color1", autoupdate="False"}
Number RGBW2_Power {channel = "zwave:device:controller:node44:meter_watts1", autoupdate="False"}
If I send normal color commands everything works as expected:

What am I missing?
What commands are you sending? Please provide a log file - it’s difficult to comment without seeing a log as I don’t know what you are sending, or what is happening in the converter.
Note that I’m about to leave for Africa so will have no internet for the next 2 weeks - I’ll then be in the UK or a couple of weeks before getting home at the end of September so I’ll likely. not get the chance to look too much at this until then.
That’s what I’ve attached. I send the string through the RestAPI.
E.g.
curl -X 'POST' \
'http://192.168.0.15:8080/rest/items/RGBW2_RAW' \
-H 'accept: */*' \
-H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ....' \
-d 'RED=100,GREEN=100,BLUE=100'
event.log
Item 'RGBW2_RAW' received command red=100
Item 'RGBW2_RAW' received command red=100,level=100
Sorry - I don’t see any attachment? 
Sorry - I thought you ment the event.log but clearly you ment the zwave.log

There seems to be an issue with the channel, even though I’ve removed and re-added the thing this week. The channel is also shown in the GUI.

Yes, the event log is pretty much useless for debugging a binding as it has absolutely no information at all about the binding. The debug log is absolutely required for debugging this.
The issue is with the exporter - I’ve updated it and will try and do an export before I leave tomorrow.
Have you managed to do an update? How could I test if it was successful?
I think it was probably updated, but I don’t really recall as I have spent the immediate 4 weeks after this in Africa and Europe. Try it and see.
I checked in on this today and I’m seeing the same unknown channel log. I have 3 of these controllers and 2 are working and one is not. The one that is not working is one that I setup later.

Is there a chance to add the same feature to FGRGBW-441 (the first version of Fibaro RGBW Controller)?
I believe it’s all about database, but probably I’m not the one who can do anything there.
Edit:
I just did it in a stupid way:
- got the org.openhab.binding.zwave-4.0.0.jar out of repository
- using 7-zip browse to *OH-INF\thing\fibaro* and edit file fgrgbw_0_0.xml adding:
<channel id="color_raw1" typeId="color_raw">
<label>Color Raw</label>
<properties>
<property name="binding:*:StringType">COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_COLOR</property>
</properties>
</channel>
- upload changed .jar file to /usr/share/openhab/addons directory
- remove and install again z-wave binding (not sure if necessary)
- remove item and add it back using jar:binding-zwave (not sure if makes difference, but the original binding is still there and has no jar: at the beginning)
- profit!
Can anyone do this the right way?
