usb port?

I had a somewhat similar issue, however my Z Stick had already been initialized by the binding previously. I upgraded to the latest snapshot a few days ago and noticed my Z Stick would not come online. Mine would go from Initializing —> Offline —> Port in Use in the error logs. Tried all the steps you did. Restarting the zwave bundle from karaf, restarting openHAB, restarting my PI, re-installing the zwave binding, etc.

Perhaps coincidence because a restart should have cleared the port, but these steps immediately brought my Z Stick online after an openhab restart.

ps -lt ttyACM0

I didn’t have any process ID’s populate that were using the port so I then ran this command

fuser -k /dev/ttyACM0

Again, this may only be helpful if you have already paired the Z Stick or have had something previously using that tty port.

i solve the problem by going to sudo openhabian-config > Serial Port > and i remove the check mark from " Add common serial ports to openHAB" and check mark it again
