Also with the newer versions of ser2net, you can make multiple connections to one serial port by adding max-connections=N to the configuration. For the dutchies this might be handy when using a DSMR data logger and a seperate OpenHAB instance.
I couldnt get 2 x ZWave sticks working. One connected via socat works just fine, when I connect a local controller it wouldnt discover it. When I added it manually I had all sorts of issues as described in the thread.
All the problems read like they are a problem with the controller, not the fact that it happens to be the second controller. Do you see the same errors when adding that controller by itself?
One controller works fine, either via socat or via the USB port.
Its the second controller because when its inserted/removed those errors come up and also the second controller fails to display a new item in the inbox after a successful pair.
This must be specific to your setup, but is not true for OH. I am even using 3 x Aeotec Gen5 Sticks parallel in my production environment for more than 1,5 years without any problems.
At the moment I am running OH Snapshot 2.4 1407 with Z-Wave Binding 2.4.0.20181031 but it worked ever since May 2017 for me with the Z-Wave dev version (which became part of the Snapshots later, I think shortly after 2.3 release?). Which one do you use?
Just install a more recent snapshot.
However, the switch to the recent Z-Wave version requires to delete and rediscover all Z-Wave things (leave them included, but delete just the things in OH). More Details in this thread:
Actually it is not as dangerous as it might sound. Of course it depends on the number of Z-Wave devices you have but I managed to do it with > 100 devices 1,5 years ago. After rediscovery with the new binding your items und rules should work again as before (at least if you have them maintained in item files what I do)
Ive always been on the binding I posted above, never changed it. And if you say this works since 2017, then my binding should work just fine given this is Sept 2018.
