My new Pi 3 newly installed with Raspbian-Jessie, OpenHAB and, after the problem with the Aeon Z-wave stick on my Synology NAS, a Razberry z-wave board.
The problem seems to be that the controller node (Razberry) is unreachable or so. This is in the openhab.log:

Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
I’ve tried some cures that are in the forum already, but so far unfortunately no luck yet.
Thanks.
Nb.
I used this installation script: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/getting-started-openhab-home-automation-raspberry-pi/
After that stopped OpenHAB, installed the Razberry software, stopped and deactivated the z-wave-server service and started OpenHAB.
By the way, also the z-wave-server service could not communicate with the controller.
I had a working setup on a Raspberry Pi 2 in combination with a RaZberry board. There I installed openHAB 1.8.1 manually by extracting the official installation archives into /opt/openhab. Linux used is Raspbian Jessie.
Now I wanted to switch to a Raspberry Pi 3. I also chose Raspbian Jessie but this time I used the Debian packages for installation which gave with openHAB 1.8.2.
The non-working result looks identical to me:

Raspberry Pi 3 uses a different UART peripheral compared to RPi 2 for the extension header. For details see the blog post below.
There are several options how to get around the problems releated with this change. I choose to use an device tree overlay to map the old UART back to the extension header. It works and I can live with the drawback of loosing Bluetooth. See the following blog post for details.
I tested with a Raspbian Jessie release after 18th March 2016.
More information about the available overlays can be found in the official documentation. Have a look for pi3-miniuart-bt and pi3-disable-bt.
Mark,
As I was still having comms problems, I tried some things… Now I’m kindof lost.
I found different solutions and did some changes, now I get the error " Serial Error: Port /dev/ttyS0 does not exist" again.
The problem is that I don’t know which solution to choose from as I don’t know which distribution I’ve got, dont know which port to use etc…
I started with an install from before March, 18th. Today I did a “sudo apt-get dist-upgrade”, do I now have an after March 18th distribution?
I’ve read a new solution was in the distribution to disable bluetooth (http://forum.z-wave.me/viewtopic.php?f=3422&t=22957), I followed that one and undid the Brian Dorey changes. Should the Razberry now be available on ttyAMA0 again or still …S0? Actually it’s on neither.
I wouldn’t want to go for a full new install as we have quite some work in this one (VPN, Samba, mqqt, etc)
Bought a Raspberry Pi 2, put the Razberry and the SD card in it, undid all Pi 3 specifics and it runs.
Apart from quite some bugs.
I think some of the bugs are:
1.8.2 related (z-wave bug in habmin);
some new devices not fully supported yet (zwave.me wall controller 2 and the Fibaro motion detector z-wave-plus);
weather binding Yahoo not stable (undefined state, because of: “CommonId not found: CommonIdHandler[provider=YAHOO,id=,icon=]”)
I’m looking forward to a new version which handles these problems.
