[SOLVED] OH3 ZWave Binding is unable to find Technisat Dimmer

Works :slight_smile:

Steps to solve with manual installation of Z Wave binding:

  1. Openhab Backup: The path and filename can be freely chosen, the extension must be .zip

sudo openhab-cli backup /home/pi/openhab/Backup/2021-02-09-backup-3.0.1.zip

  1. Uninstall ZWave Binding: Go into the Openhab UI as usual, e.g. localhost:8080 in the browser.

Settings → Bindings → ZWave Binding → uninstall

  1. Download latest ZWave Binding snapshot openHAB-ZWave - Jenkins → org.openhab.binding.zwave-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

  2. Copy it to the addon directory of Openhab. Take the correct directory for this from the documentation openHAB on Linux | openHAB

sudo cp /home/pi/Downloads/org.openhab.binding.zwave-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/share/openhab/addons

  1. Restart openhab: In my case openhab is a service:

sudo systemctl restart openhab.service

Important: The binding is not listed under bindings now. But as @Bruce_Osborne mentioned it still works.

  1. Remove not correctly detected device (Technisat Dimmer):

Settings → Things → Technisat Dimmer → delete Thing

  1. Add new device:

Settings → Things → + → ZWave Binding → Scan

  1. Create items for the device and link them to channels

  2. Use

Troubleshooting:

  • ZWave controller and devices uninitialized or Error:Bridge: wait a bit until openhab has finished starting and the binding recognizes the controller. If that doesn’t help restart Raspberry Pi or the used system.

Thanks @Bruce_Osborne for the support.
