I’ trying to connect my Linear Dimmer switch to my ZWave network, it’s being discovered in HABmin but It’s showing up as unknown… In OpenHab 1, it was still saying unknown, but I could still control it… Not sure what to do in OH2… Please help
Yh, it’s right here http://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/6
Ok, good. Next stage. 
- How many zwave devices do you have in the network?
- Is this a battery device?
- How long have you waited after the inclusion of the device till writing here?
- What does the log says about this device?
- Is the device online or offline according to HABmin?
How many zwave devices do you have in the network? Just This One, testing this device before I add anything else
Is this a battery device? Nope, Its an inline Wall Dimmer Switch
How long have you waited after the inclusion of the device till writing here? About 3 hours
What does the log says about this device?

Is the device online or offline according to HABmin?
It’s Offline, But the Z wave stick can see it…
Please provide the XML file of the device. It can be found within <oh2 userdata>/zwave directory (see documentation)
I only see the node 1 xml under /var/lib/ooenhab2/zwave… Which I believe is the controller
Yeah, right.
Please have a look at the zwave binding description, last chapter “Unknown Devices”. May this help you?
I looked at it but I’m not finding an xml in my zwave folder… So I can’t send the xml. To be included in the zwave database…
Yeah, got that. Thought it is a battery device. Sorry.
I think only @chris can help you at this point.
Ight thanks
