- Platform information:
- Hardware: Intel 64bit

- Java Runtime Environment: zulu JDK 1.8.0_144
- openHAB version: 2.2.0 - SNAPSHOT
- Issue of the topic: ZWave items are in State=NULL
And its me again … I am running my docker container on Synology in privileged mode an I have set the permissions on the /dev/ttyACM0 devives to 777 to make it work inside the container. I configured the zwave section in the openhab.cfg and added the zwave binding to the bindings line in addons.cfg. The USB stick is recognized correctly and gets configured in openHAB.
I attached the Aeontec ZWave Plus Gen5 stick successfully and a Devolo temperature/humidity multi sensor.
I managed to get the USB Stick configured as Zwave bridge device and also to bind the sensor as node2 to the controller. I also managed to configure the things file right so that both devices get initialized during container startup. The I have searched on how to define the items - especially the channel to connect to the sensor tags …
I have found so many different ways to define items but none of them worked. Find below my configuration data and the ZWave related entries in the karaf console and openhab.log to see that I am almost there. Becausethe only missing link is to define the channel correctly to as the items keep staying in the state=NULL.
Things file:
Bridge zwave:serial_zstick:abcd1234 [ port="/dev/ttyACM0", controller_softreset="false", controller_master="true", label="zwave_usbstick", security_networkkey="XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX" ]
Thing zwave:device:abcd1234:node2 [ zwave_nodeid="2", label="DV_TEMP_HUMI" ]
Karaf console output for things:
openhab> smarthome:things list

=> both: USB Stick = Bridge and Sensor = Thing are in Status=ONLINE !!!

This is my items file:
Group gZwave // Zwave items
Number ZwaveDVHumi "Luftfeuchtigkeit [%d %%]" (gZwave) {channel="zwave:device:abcd1234:node2:sensor_relhumidity"}
Number ZwaveDVTemp "Temperatur [%.1f °C]" (gZwave) {channel="zwave:device:abcd1234:node2:sensor_temperature"}
Number ZwaveDVBatt "Batterielevel [%d %%]" (gZwave) {channel="zwave:device:abcd1234:node2:battery"}
The items get not recognized by openhab … see karaf console:
openhab> smarthome:items list | grep Zwave
gZwave (Type=GroupItem, Members=3, State=NULL, Label=null, Category=null)
ZwaveWzHumi (Type=NumberItem, State=NULL, Label=Luftfeuchtigkeit, Category=null, Groups=[gZwave])
ZwaveWzTemp (Type=NumberItem, State=NULL, Label=Temperatur, Category=null, Groups=[gZwave])
ZwaveWzBatt (Type=NumberItem, State=NULL, Label=Batterielevel, Category=null, Groups=[gZwave])
openhab>
But the State is NULL? And also the Category = null? What am I missing or what is wrong with my items syntax???
Eventhough I am working in a container and therefore the configuration via Paper UI is not persistent I have used it to get the things added at the first time. I can read the thing properties from the Paper UI and here they are:
for the USB Stick:
zwave_neighbours 2
zwave_nodeid 1
for the Devolo Sensor:
wave_class_basic ROUTING_SLAVE
zwave_class_generic MULTILEVEL_SENSOR
zwave_neighbours 1
zwave_frequent false
zwave_version 1.14
zwave_listening false
zwave_plus_devicetype AIR_TEMPERATURE_SENSOR
zwave_deviceid 32
zwave_nodeid 2
zwave_routing true
zwave_wakeup_time 2017-11-11T12:42:35Z
zwave_beaming true
zwave_class_specific ROUTING_SENSOR_MULTILEVEL
zwave_manufacturer 373
zwave_devicetype 2
I kindly appreciate any advice and hint what to do to get the sensor activated!
Thanks a lot
Justus
