Hi all,

I’m trying to get the Zwave-snapshot addon to work.

Openhab version running: openHAB 4.0.3

Steps taken:

- Removed Zwave binding through the UI
- Stopped Openhab
- Cleared cached
- Downloaded the Zwave - snapshot JAR file
- copied the JAR to the /usr/share/openhab/addons directory
- checked file owner and permissions (ok)
- Start Openhab again

Result is **HANDLER\_MISSING\_ERROR** on the Zwave things.

I’m missing steps I guess, but not sure which one(s)…  
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!  
/Jasper

Did that, and the bundle:list gives me:

> Blockquote  
> 324 │ Installed │ 80 │ 4.1.0.202309250348 │ openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: ZWave Binding

So it shows the zwave addon, but it’s not active.

When I try bundle:start 324 it give me:  
`Error executing command: Error executing command on bundles: Error starting bundle 324: Could not resolve module: org.openhab.binding.zwave [324] Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: javax.measure; version="[2.2.0,3.0.0)" `

I’m not familiar with that one. Try a search of the forum?

I did a quick check myself. You might need to try M1, but not sure. Also I always add `order:latest` for more recent posts

Apparently, the “stable” version is not working together with the latest Zwave-binding snapshot.

The solution was to change to the “Testing release” repo:

- apt-get update
- apt-get upgrade

Which upgraded the OH version to 4.1.0 M1  
after which the Zwave-binding Snapshot binding was accepted. All seems up and running again now…

Thank you again!
