I have 52 z-wave devices that are configured manually with zwave.things. This works great (thanks @chris!), but every time I start openHAB I get 52 new devices in my inbox. Am I doing something wrong with my .things, or is there a bug that finds already defined things?
This is not related to zwave only, I did notice this behavior for all bindings which do auto discovery.
Iām not sure it will be necessarily related to all auto discovery, however for sure in ZWave itās an issue, and also at least any other binding that changes the thing type.
The problem will be that in the text files, you onāt define the UID - not the thing name. In days gone by, these were the same thing. In ZWave, we get the original UID from the inbox (which is simply zwave:device:bridge:nodeX) and change the UID to something specific (eg zwave_aeon_zw111_00_000). When you define the things in text files you are only defining the second one, so when the inbox discovers new devices, they have a different ID, and get added.
So, in the case of ZWave, itās a consequence of changing the thing type - maybe thereās other reasons for it in other bindings if it happens on all things.
One possible fix would be not to do a discovery on startup and only do it when asked for by the user. Iād be tempted to raise this in the ESH issue tracker.
Could you please share the manual configuration file?
Sure can.

Thx a lot, that helped me to do the same with my zwave devices.
Are you able to change configuration parameters of your manually configured zwave devices?
That is the only problem I have at the moment ā¦ HABmin tells me the change of config parameters was successfull, but on a reload I still have the old values ā¦
Nope, you have to do it in the .things file.
No - this is simply not possible at all at the moment. I proposed to change the way it works, but so far itās not been acceptedā¦
Thx, that is what I already thought. No problem, back to GUI configured things now 
BTW, if anybody is still looking for changing the invert percent for rollershutter devices in the things file:
Thing zwave:fibaro_fgrm222_24_024:controller:node11 "Z-Wave Node 11: FGRM222 Roller Shutter" (zwave:serial_zstick:controller) [ node_id=11 ] {
Channels:
Type blinds_control : blinds_control [ config_invert_percent=true ]
}
Is it really not possible to change the z-wave configuration parameters (e.g. setting switch type to āMomentary switchā) via habmin for manually configured devices? If so, the manually configuration for z-wave device is imo completely useless.
Itās a work in process, give it some time. I am sure this issue will be fixed. I for one am very happy with the ability to manually configure my devices!
Unfortunately not - sorry. I proposed an addition to ESH that would allow the UI to be used to make changes to a thing even if it was configured in a text file, but this was rejected.
At some stage there may be a solution to allow device configuration. Itās something that has been discussed for a while and thereās an open ticket.
Hard to believe, that such fundamental functionality, which was well supported in OH1, is still not available and not even designed. OH2 looks nice, but in my opinion itās far away from a stable and easy to use system. Everything should be managed via UI(s), which results in klicking one or two hours in the Paper-UI for the configuration of more than 30 z-wave devices. And after this there are a lot of text file for defining site maps, persistences, maps or rules.
After spending so much time for setting up the system, there is no (official) possibility to make a backup (itās not sure that restoring conf and userdata directories really work) or transfer a configuration to another system (e.g. when upgrading from Raspi2 with raspbian to a Raspi3 with DietPi).
Iām back to OH1, forget about using new z-wave devices like the FGS-223 and still have a look on OH2, how work is going on.
I really like the idea of version controlling all of my configuration. @sipvoip what version are you working with? Iām using openhab2-2.2.0.20170715040819-1.noarch and openhab2-addons-2.2.0.20170715040819-1.noarch but Iām not having too much luck. Iām seeing my zwave things discovered and Iām seeing the things I defined in paper. The ones I defined are stuck with INITIALIZING as their status. Is this things file heading in the right direction?

I am working with 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT Build #986 and a pull from yesterday for
the zwave binding.

Note that this version doesnāt allow things to be configured manually. Only the development version has this functionality.
haha that makes more sense. Are there nightly generated rpms? If not what is the recommended steps for deploying the snapshots?
Sorry - snapshot versions donāt have this feature - only the bleeding edge development version -:
OK so meaning I need to download and build from github to get this functionality. I can do that. Thanks for the direction. What is the target release for this functionality?
