  • Issue of the topic: Trying to configure zwave stick, port ttyACM0 is not listed as available
    File /dev/ttyACM0 does not exist. Configuring ttyAMA0 as the zwave controller port does not work as zwave controller (aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 model ZW090-C) is unable to get online status.

I made a fresh installation from openhabian-pi-raspbian-201908050414-gitca0976f-crc6a66b5a1.img.xz
(https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/releases/download/v1.5/openhabian-pi-raspbian-201908050414-gitca0976f-crc6a66b5a1.img.xz)

I will appreciate any comment on how to proceed to get the zwave controller working.

Hi @foruny

I’m guessing you’re plugging the Aeotec Z-stick into the RPi directly? Unfortunately, the two have issues together:

I use an amazonbasics hub attached to the RPi 4 to use my Aeotec stick. /dev/ACM0 shows up after then.

After running dmesg -c I ran dmesg -T | grep tty

No output. It seems like plugging the stick is not recognized by the system.

Plugging the zstick directly into a Pi4 will not work because the zstick dies not follow the usb specification. The port shuts down to prevent hardware damage to the Pi.
A workaround is to use a USB 2 hub between the Pi4 and the zstick.
The permanent solution is to use a usb certified device that meets the specifications.

Thank you @Benjy. I understand that there is a design flaw on the hardware of the Aeon Labs Z-Stick Gen5, not being able to pass usb certification program. Fortunately the workaround of connecting though an USB hub worked for me.

cant find ACM0 and AMA0 isnt working =(

10

what is the result of the command

ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/
11

its crazy, I connected an arduino UNO.

sometimes ttyACM0 is showing and the board is connected

some minutes later the board is no longer available / not found

ls: cannot access '/dev/serial/by-id/': No such file or directory

12

could it be that this is linked to a power supply problem.

its definitly the overheating, i always lose the uno when outdoor temperatures are 30*C +
