Pi3/habmin/razberry: no nodes (solved)

Hallo everybody,

I did a complete new installation this week, and it works!
At least, I solved my basic problem “openhab didn’t recognize the raZberry-board” by changing from openhab1 to openhab2.

If there’s someone out there with Raspberry Pi3 and RaZberry, also
struggeling with z-wave-installation like I did. The following may be useful.

Here’s what I did, step by step:

  1. I downloaded „openhabian-ua-netinst-20160915-git9e034e7.img“ from https://github.com/ThomDietrich/openhabian/releases

  2. Wrote the image-file to the sd-card using Win32DiskImager (on Windows10)

  3. Connected Ethernet, SD card and power to my Raspberry Pi3.

  4. Additionally connected the Raspberry Pi3 to my tv by hdmi-cable. So I was able to watch the installation-protocoll on the tv-screen. (Not necessary, but helpful to me.)

  5. Waited until installation was finished and the login screen appeared on my tv-screen. (If you don’t have a tv-screen connected, you need to watch the led, like discribed in openHABian hassle-free openHAB Setup )

  6. Just to see, if installation was successful and works, With my browser I connect to the openHAB Dashboard with http://192.168.1.106:8080/start/index and to the openHAB Classic UI with http://openhabianpi:8080. They worked.

  7. Logged in on rpi3 from my windows-pc using puTTY, with user pi and password raspberry.

  8. Made a full upgrade with sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade

  9. Additionally I did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and sudo apt-get clean (Somewhere I read that this could be done.)

  10. Started the openhabian configuration tool with sudo openhabian-config

  11. I executed the following options:

    01 Update

    02 Basic Setup

    03 Java 8

    04 openHAB 2

    20 Serial Port (This is important! And you have to do a reboot after this.)

  12. I connect to the openHAB Dashboard again with http://192.168.1.106:8080/start/index

  13. In the Dashboard-screen I choosed Extensions wich shows a list of all bindings available.

  14. Scrolled down to z-wave-binding and installed it

  15. Selected menu INBOX which showed no entries.

  16. Pushed the ADD-Button

  17. A new screen appeared. I selected the entry z-wave-binding

  18. A new screen appeared. I selected z-wave-serial controller

  19. A configuration-screen appeared with empty fields . After a few seconds some fields were updated automatically with parameters.

  20. Into the empty field named serial port I wrote /dev/ttyS0 and then saved this change.

  21. The menu CONFIGURATION > THINGS appeared with a new thing „Z-Wave Serial Controller“ marked green.

  22. The INBOX showed two new things. (My two nodes, which I have included using z-way, before I did this installation.)

  23. Choosed INBOX and pushed the buttons of each node. For each node a menu appeared and I pushed Add Thing

  24. Choosed CONTROL. Now my Z-Wave Serial Controller (raZberry) and my two nodes appeared.
    But the nodes (sensor and switch) didn’t show data. After a reboot they did.

Ok, hope I didn’t forget something.
That’s it. Now I’m ready to use.
Next step on my list: Install and learn, how to use HABmin.

@ThomDietrich @sihui Thanks.
