For those who struggle with the description. I did the following

  1. Install z-wave binding via paper ui
  2. go to karaf console and uninstall the binding via console
ssh openhab@localhost -p 8081

password is 'habopen’
list the installed bundles:

bundle:list

...
184 | Active   |  80 | 2.0.0.b4              | openHAB Dashboard UI
185 | Resolved |  80 | 2.0.0.b4              | openHAB Paper UI Theme Fragment, Hosts: 180
186 | Active   |  80 | 0.9.10.v20160429-1435 | reflections (wrap)
187 | Active   |  80 | 1.5.8.v20160511-1038  | swagger-jersey2-jaxrs (wrap)
190 | Active   |  80 | 0.9.0.b4              | HABmin User Interface

199 | Active   |  80 | 2.0.0.b4              | openHAB Serial Transport Bundle
...

search for the zwave binding. In my case it had id 198
uninstall the binding using this id

bundle:uninstall 198

exit the karat console with

Ctrl+D
  1. Install newest snapshot
    got to ‘/usr/share/openhab2/addons’ (if you installed with apt-get)

Download the bundle here. e.g.

cd /usr/share/openhab2/addons
sudo wget https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB2-Bundles/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/bindings/org.openhab.binding.zwave/target/org.openhab.binding.zwave-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Hope this helps someone.
