ZWave - Not able to include device FGR223 - how to verify zwave-binding installation

[Diver]

• Platform information:

  • Hardware: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1
  • OS: Linux 4.9.35-v7+
  • openHAB version: 2.4.0-1 (Installation via a SD card image for the RasberryPi)

• Issue of the topic:
  I’m not able to add the Fibaro FGR223 to my Openhab System
  The Device is in the Database (https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/983)
  but not supported by the zwave-binding v2.4 .
  My hope is, that it is supported by the zwave-binding v2.5 snapshot

What did I do:
Try to install the zwave-binding 2.5 snapshot

• uninstall zwave-binding via Paper-UI
• there are no bindings in the addon.cfg
• stopped the openhab service (sudo systemctl stop openhab2.service)
• deleted temp and cache ( rm -rf $OPENHAB_USERDATA/{cache,tmp}/*)
• copy zwave-binding 2.5 to add-on folder
  ( source: https://ci.openhab.org/job/openHAB2-Bundles/lastSuccessfulBuild/org.openhab.addons.bundles%24org.openhab.binding.zwave/ )
• restart RaspberryPi

Result:
No discovery of new devices in Paper-UI possible.
No zwave binding visible
No zwave-binding results in the log

“bundle:list” gives me “-bash: bundle:list: command not found”

How do I verify the correct installation of the binding ?
All help is welcome

Look at the log file for openhab. My guess is that openhab is not able to start the zwave binding.
When installing the binding manually you usually need a couple of more dependencies.

The bundle:list command can be run using karaf, i.e ssh -p 8101 openhab@localhost (password habopen).

Take a look at this post, should give you some insights on how to run a snapshot jar file of the zwave binding.

I’ve done local modifications from time to time. Basics steps: Uninstall zwave addon Put org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xstream-1.4.7_1.jar in addons folder Launch karaf run: feature:install openhab-transport-serial Run git clone https://github.com/openhab/org.openhab.binding.zwave zwave Install apach maven (apt installl maven3, I run Opensuse so different there) Edit the xml file you need to change for instance for Fibaro Smart Implant: ./src/main/resources/ESH-INF/thing/fibaro/fgbs222_0_0.x…

Actually, the easy way is to update with the install script.

Zigbee and zwave manual install script

A number of people have run into trouble performing manual installs of the Zigbee and Z-Wave bindings. A manual install (dropping the jar into addons) is rarely needed, but some people prefer a manual install over apt-get, or want to use a stable OH release with a recent Zigbee or Z-Wave binding. Here is a script that will hopefully make it easier to install, upgrade, and uninstall these bindings, and prevent some of the common issues. Who would benefit from this script: Anyone wanting to tes…

Yeah, I agree, best thing is probably to use openhabian-config and install 2.5.m2.

Thank you.
updating to the testing branch 2.5.m2 did the trick.

Solution:

1. sudo openhabian-config
2. selected line marked 40
3. selected “testing”
4. installed zwave-binding via paper-UI
5. deleted in Things the “unknown device”
6. scanned for new zwave devices
   -> FGR223 was found.
