Openhab 2.0 (offline version)
Habmin 2.0
zwave binding
Aeon Labs Aeotec Z Stick Gen 5 zwave controller
Aeon Labs DSC06106-ZWUS (on/off switch that plugs into wall)
So currently, I have OpenHab 2.0 running and have managed to get the zwave binding installed in the Paper UI, added the Z Stick manually as a controller in Paper UI, and then added the switch in Paper UI as well.

In my items file, I add this text to the appropriate place:
