Recently I bought a Aeotec Z-Wave 5th generation stick. I installed the Z-Wave binding using PaperUI and added manually the ‘Z-Wave serial controller’. The Z-Wave serial controller becomes online.
I also could successfully add an infrared motion detector.
But when I restart the openhab service everytime the Z-Wave binding gets uninstalled, here is what tail shows to me:

Does anybody here face the same issue?
What is the problem here?
Is there any solution available?
Looking at other topics it’s mentioned to manually create your Z-Wave serial controller in your things but it’s mentioned above that you have done this.
Have you tried uninstalling the binding, stopping OH, cleaning the cache, restarting OH and reinstalling the binding? Have you set the binding log to DEBUG or TRACE to see if there is any additional info?
The recommendation from the developer is to use a UI such as HABmin to add the controller. In HABmin, you select the + sign, define the Thing. and then configure the serial port.
Follow the binding instructions for when things do not go as planned. Do not filter the debug logs. You can post here or check the log viewer yourself.
thanks. As suggested I wanted to give HABmin a try to install the Z-Wave binding.
Therefore I tried to install HABmin using PaperUI–>Addons–>User Interfaces–>HABmin–>Install.
Then I tried to open HABmin using follwing URL:
http://myserver:8080/habmin
But the upcoming page just shows ‘Loading…’ - nothing more :-(.
If I look into the browser log there are more than 300 ‘Not Found’ errors:
(Just took a screenshot of the last few errors)
I sure wish I had an answer, but I just joined to say that I’m having the same trouble. I couldn’t get anywhere by using HABmin either. One additional thing I noticed is that, as soon as the pi restarts, the Thing shows as online, then it switches to uninitialized, then to the missing handler error. I’m brand new to openHAB, so I don’t know where anything is yet. Maybe I’ll just start over from scratch and see what happens.
