Hello! I am running openhabian on an older RPi 2 something and I’m trying to get my Aeon ZWave Stick set up and talking to the zwave devices. I’ve added the Thing for the Z-Wave Serial Controller, but it says the Status is OFFLINE - BRIDGE_OFFLINE Controller is offline. I click the pencil to edit t…

[image] nomadic-squirrel: Incidentally, the console shows 2.4.0 Release Build in the welcome message, but paper ui shows 2.5.0.M1 I think you somehow messed up your openHAB installation during an upgrade. [image] nomadic-squirrel: So is that snapshot 0025 ? Never seen any numbering li…

Ok. The Z-Wave binding reports the board as Offline, but the Z-Way binding reports it as Online. So what is the reason for this?

These bindings can’t run at the same time. Remove Zway. They are both trying to use the same resources, and don’t play well together.

Am not trying to run both at the same time. When the Z-Wave binding is installed, it reports the board as Offline. When the Z-Way binding is installed, it reports the board as Online.

Isn’t there a Zway server too? Are you running this on the Pi? IIRC, this had conflicts with the zwave binding too.

I am running the Razberry board in a Pi model 3.

If you want to use the zwave binding you need to stop and disable the zway server on the razberry board: [image] Razberry Not Working with Openhab Beginners Yes, it looks like … stop z-way-server: service z-way-server stop and disable it: update-rc.d z-…

I tried two test cases using clean SD card images on the Pi.. A) I completely uninstalled all the Z-Way server software, and the Z-Way openHAB binding; and just used the ZWave binding; in that test case the RaZberry board is reported in openHAB as Offline. B) I uninstalled the ZWave binding; insta…

Had the same workaround these days. Installed the zway software for making a firmware update of the razberry and geting rid of the dead nodes. You must remove the zway server in the autostart with : sudo update-rc.d z-way-server remove sudo shutdown -r now In addition to that I had to set again the…

So you mean that the ZWay software must be actually present even if it is not running? Why is that?

No, there is actually no reason for having both installed on the raspberry. Both programms use same ports, so there are problems if you have the zway server running and the zwave binding.

[SOLVED] Z-Wave Serial Controller shows "OFFLINE - BRIDGE_OFFLINE Controller is offline"
