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] curlyel: Maybe it should go to openhab-core Yes, I think it would be better in the core since that’s where the config description gets populated. The UI is just doing what OH says - in this case, showing and limiting to the options.

I think that needs to be fixed in the bindings, I have left a comment on the issue .

Just did a code dive and seems like the OHC serial transport is used by the zigbee binding, so trying to get it to work with "rfc2217://ip:port’ but can’t get past the check in the binding that 0 or more serial ports exist. A how-to would be great, as I’ve spent some time searching on relevant keyw…

Chris is working on a total rewrite of the binding. I think it is based more off the official standard rather than reverse engineering. It may be best to wait on that before adding features to the existing binding. If you do wish to proceed you could start an issue on GitHub and receive help there. …

[image] chris: I think this post is asking about ZigBee? Oops. My bad.

Chris, Bruce, Thanks for the replies. I’ll try to clarify. I’m not seeking a feature addition; rather, I’m trying to understand how to use my own pty based virtual serial ports, or to leverage the rfc2217 port capability provided by the core, with the zigbee binding as-is. The zigbee binding per…

[SOLVED] [Zwave, Zigbee, ...] RFC2217 remote serial port HowTo?

The ZWave binding doesn’t support the RFC2217 classes - these were removed from the ZWave binding a long time ago.
