Share Z-wave dongle over IP (USB over IP using ser2net / socat ) guide

That makes sense, thanks.

In any case, I have just tried as per your suggestion in the post above. I have configured things as:

Bridge zwave:serial_zstick:controller "ZWave Controller"
    [ port = "rfc2217://192.168.1.1:2001",
      controller_softreset = "false",
      controller_master = "true",
      heal_enable = "true" ]

Unfortunately, it does not work. Log shows:

Attempting to add listener when controller is null

and PaperUI shows:

Status: OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR Serial Error: Port rfc2217://192.168.1.1:2001 does not exist

I tried replacing rfc2217 with socket, not specifying it at all, adding host parameter and nothing works.

How does your binding expect this parameter to be formatted to work over rfc2217?
