All we can say is that we cannot connect the OH ZigBee binding to a ‘serial’ port using RFC 2217 (as of now - tested on Windows 10 and openHABian). However, the Z-Wave binding seems to work in combination with RFC 2217 (Share Z-wave dongle over IP (USB over IP using ser2net / socat ) guide - #253 by mvbergen). In other words: there must be be a problem in the chain of the components. Unfortunately, we don’t know where - and IMHO it would be difficult to find the root cause. Besides the RFC 2217 problem the OH ZigBee binding seems to work flawlessly. The fact that the Z-Wave binding does support RFC 2217 and the OH ZigBee binding doesn’t could be an indication (not a proof though) that the problem lies within the OH ZigBee binding or is caused by an incompatibilty between the ZigBee binding and the OS/OH. Whether the OS/OH or the OH ZigBee binding is the culprit, I don’t know.
