No SerialPort Provider error with Ubuntu 18.04 and Zwave 2.5.x snapshot

For the 2.5 binding, you’ll need to use to the Karaf console to install the serial transport.

[SOLVED] Link to Zwave binding SNAPSHOT 2.5

OK, it is resolved. I found in another thread that sometimes you also need to " feature:install openhab-transport-serial" in the Karaf in that case. I did that before I updated the Z-Wave because I though it was a one-time installation of a package rather than a procedure you have to execute after installing the bundle. 2.5.0 is now up and running and it correctly recognized the new devices.

FYI, I just rolled back to the 2.4 binding. Every time I reboot with the 2.5 binding, OH can’t find my Z-Wave dongle until I restart the service.
