I understand that in need the Zwave binding to connect to my Aeotec/Aeon heavy duty smart switch ZW078. I am using paper UI. Two Questions: I am using the demo config and the progress circle keeps spinning when I try to add the Z wave binding. Do I need to set the serial port of the Zstick fir…

[image] JimHome: I am using the demo config and the progress circle keeps spinning If you refresh the page or leave & some back you will likely see it is installed. The Paper UI is known to be buggy like that sometimes. It has been removed from openHAB 3. [image] JimHome: where do I disc…

Thanks Bruce I left and came back and my zwave is installed. I clicked on it and saw the configuration screen. I opened the port and had only one something like AW0, I have a raspi4 b and openhabian. Then I tried to pair my switch. I needed to reset my switch since it was paired with home auto…

[image] JimHome: the config timed out and can’t seem to return to selecting inclusion mode. I do not tend to use the Paper UI much. I believe you can go to the Inbox & select “Search for Things” & then pick the binding.

I think I need more patience. The Zstick is configured and on-line as shown in the config,things UI. It is still not paired however. I cannot find any way to set to inclusion mode. I have it set to high power inclusion and I can only execute the following: [image] Suggestions? Thanks

[image] JimHome: Suggestions? Sorry, I tend to use the recommended HABmin interface for that. You might want to install that User interface.

[image] JimHome: It is still not paired however. I cannot find any way to set to inclusion mode. In PaperUI (if you prefer to use that over HABmin or just because it’s there already), you just go to the inbox, hit the blue + button, and pick the ZWave binding. That will actually put your Z-s…

Gentlemen Thanks for the feedback. I tried to install HABmin but could not find anything about the installation in the docs. I moved on to using PaperUI and followed your instruction and it worked great. I went to the inbox, hit the blue + button, and pick the ZWave binding. (this was strange be…

Z-Wave bides 5 6 and 7 are zombie nodes still defined on your network and stored in the controller. They could affect network routing and stability unless they are removed. Devices may try to route through these non-existent nodes. Since, I believe this may be a new and somewhat simple network the …

Thanks Bruce The network at this time consists only of the smart switch. I am reluctant to exclude all devices but will exclude 5, 6, & 7 since this pairing process was so time-consuming. What about the openHAB Hue Emulation. It appears to reside in the razpi it self. I am concerned that it is …

[image] JimHome: will exclude 5, 6, & 7 If the devices do not exists you cannot easily exclude them. You can try marking the devices as failed & then exclude them but most people have not had good success doing that. I do not use Hie Emulation and have not looked at the demo in over a year. …

One of the remaining useful HABmin features is the tools to manage zwave devices.
