I assuming it is a permissions issue…
Do a “ls -l /dev/ttyAMA0”
It might say “root tty” and not “root dialout”
IF so, then add openhab to the tty group, too. (same command just change dialout to tty)
Also, I add this the following line to /etc/init.d/openhab and to /usr/share/openhab/bin/openhab.sh
"-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyAMA0 "
right after “-Dosgi.noShutdown=true”
Using the Wiki method, I believe you use start.sh to launch.
I use the apt-get method posted on the github. It is simpler (it also puts files in different places).
I suggest that approach
FYI,
The Razberry uses the Pi’s GPIO pins - Rx and Tx, which by default are used to transmit the console over text. By installing Z-way first, their install makes the necessary changes on the Pi to disable the serial output and make it available for apps. You then stop and disable the Z-way service and start Openhab…
Using Wheezy I have not had to install Z-Way first, but using Jessie or whatever it is, the newer build, I absolutely had to install Z-Way first before Openhab would work with the Razberry.
Wheezy was easier for me to get things up and running… However, on to the next hurdle…
