ZWave Inclusion not finding device (Razberry)

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hi,
I am new to openHAB and in my first week im setting up a system.

I am using Rasberry PI 3 with a Razberry module and, Openhabian package 2.2

I have already included other Bindings without any problem, but with ZWave I am having problems.
I was able to install the Razberry module and it was recocgnized correctly and is online.

The problem I have is, that I can not include any device.
I see, that the Razberry module is going into inclusion mode and I have tried different devices(Fibaro WallSwitch and WallPlug) without success. I have tried diffrent ways to set the devices in inclusion mode as well, but nothing helped.
I have set the log level for the Binding to DEBUG.

From other forums I have seen, that one reason could be, that the Razberry is not using the correct frequency.
I am located in the EU and have bought it here. But I also do not know how to check if the Razberry is an US or Canadian Device which might use different frequencies.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is a sniplet of two Inclusions I have tried:

As you have a RazBerry device, install the Z-Way software that comes from the manufacturer and look at the device with it. The z-Way software can tell you the currently set frequency, and (IIUC) can also SET the frequency that the RaZBerry will use (i.e. There’s an option for it, but I have never tried it since I’m in the Eu (At least until the Brexiters finally get their way) and changing ti US frequencies is of little use to me.

  • when you include, have the device right next to the RaZBerry. This is a limitation of zWave. It’s low power, and also requires (Usually) the device you’re including to be in it’s permanent position, AND right next to the controller doing the inclusion.
  • I bought a second controller (Aeotec Gen 5 USB stick) because it’s designed to be unplugged, taken to your new device and included in place.
  • Yes it was a nightmare to get the USB stick inserted as a second controller into my network. IIRC I had to create the network from the USB and then add the RaZBerry into it…
  • I still have issues including new devices. Some devices are just a PITA to get to work. A good source of compatibility between devices and controllers is vesternet.com
  • Fibaro devices seem to be the easiest to include. Devolo are the worst for me.
  • YMMV
