Since quite a while now (openHAB 2.4M… ???), rfc2217 remote serial ports seem to be supported. Theoretically, this should give the option, easily connect to remote telnet-serial ports (provided by e.g. ser2net on a remote RaspberryPi) directly from the bindings configuration. Up to now, I’ve been u…

[image] Bruce_Osborne: Does it work through the UI too? Honestly I don’t know with OH3. I tested it some time ago with OH2.5 and there it did not work (as PaperUI only offered the physical COM-Ports and would not allow any alternative entry for the Port). As it worked fine with a textual .thi…

Many thanks Rafal, happy to hear that. Even though I started this thread, I still have my remote serial adaptors on a socat/ser2net combination after of some initial issues with rfc2217. Because of the promising posts here I currently reconsider moving to rfc2217 while migration to openHAB3 (of c…

[image] vossivossi: Unfortunately I am not happy with that. After a network interruption I have to restart the Z-Wave binding. Otherwise it won’t recover by itself. Mmmh. That’s what I feared :frowning: [image] vossivossi: But now I anyhow changed again the setup and also run OH3 on the …

[image] curlyel: May I ask You too about your re-connect experiences when using rfc2217 ? Hmm, I guess I have not been “lucky” enough to experience enough disconnections over the 6 months to notice any issues. I blame my networking. On the other hand, clearly the rfc2217 experience @vossivoss…

[image] Rafal: I blame my networking. :rofl: [image] Rafal: “lucky” enough to experience enough disconnections Fully agree. Same here … usually :wink: But you know, bad things happen always at the worst time… Means for my setup: “When I’m not available to fix it quickly” So some so…

[image] Bruce_Osborne: Does it work through the UI too? At least in the released version of OH3, yes, it does. I have just done that in the z-wave thing GUI. For it to work, on the remote system where the z-wave interface is connected, just make sure you define everything correctly in the /e…

Has anyone gotten this to work with Zigbee? I’m testing OH3 in a docker container in a VM on my server and while the ZWave binding works great connecting to rfc2217://192.168.0.5:3001, the Zigbee binding configured for rfc2217://192.168.0.5:3002 gives me this in the debug log. The box at 192.168.0.5…

[image] curlyel: May I ask You too about your re-connect experiences when using rfc2217 ? I have just done a couple of restarts of my Pi, which runs the ZStick and RFXCOM antennas, to see if and how rfc2217 ZWave recovers. I am pleased to say that in the current version (OH2.5_11) both ZWave …

Can someone summarize the situation regarding OH3? I am quite sure that restarting either the openhab machine as well as the ser2net machine causes a loss of connection between OH3 and a zwave stick. Am I correct? My setup is so far: OH 3.0.1 ReleaseBuild on a rpi4 running buster Z-Wave Serial C…

@curlyel Could you remove [SOLVED] from the title as there are obviously still todos regarding OH3?
