Hi all,
I have probably an extreme new-be question, since I can not find anybody reporting my problem. But on the other hand I may just have an installation problem? I am completely new to zwave/openhab/habmin.
I understand that hardware has to be included, initialised, and configured. My problem is with the configuration.
In habmin I can see ‘configuration/bindings/zwave/devices/nodes’, e.g. node4, showing up as NS210 (it actually is the Greenwave powernode1, ‘ns310F’ so that is going to be my second question in second post). I assumed that habmin would help me configuring the item in an item-file. But when I click on ‘configuration/items and groups’ and click ‘add’, the drop-down menu is empty, no node can be chosen.
Reading through the openhab manual I understand I have to create an item-file. But I also understand that habmin only looks at it’s own item files. So how do I make an itemfile in habmin, which corresponds to the correct node?
My setup: laptop running Ubuntu 15.10, Openhab via apt-get install, and habmin 1.4
Aeon zwave-usb-stick Gen5, and among others: the Greenwave Powernode-1 NS310-F.
Thanks Chris, this, together with your email last Thursday helped a lot! What I did not get, is that the binding string in the item file, for me: zwave=“4:command=switch_binary”, ties the item to the right node by this number. I though it was some config number that has to do with the hardware. Maybe it is in the manual somewhere, but I can not find it. Also the examples just give these numbers, but never explain. If I didn’t overlook: maybe this should be added explicitly.
Anyway, I just managed to put my lights on and off from the sitemap for the first time!
I’ll be sleeping as baby tonight!
