First make sure you properly uninstalled the stable binding.
Then perform a bundle:start XXX where XXX is the number from your installed, but not active snapshot binding.

You may need to also install the serial transport dependency:

Add your controller as Thing and then set the correct port in the properties of that Thing.

#16

Thank you very much.
I did as you told and indeed it is active now.
btw, I started learing using the karaf console and it is great. I’m extending my openhab knowledge all the time.

There is (hopefully) one problem.
I added the z-wave controller to my ‘Things’’, but when configuring it, the “serial port” field is missing - so I can’t set it to /dev/ttyAMA0.

Thanks again,
Meir.

#17

This is how this Z-Wave controller config looks:

The “port” field is missing

#18

Normally, this is what you will see if the binding is not running - is the controller online? If not, what is the state? Are you sure the binding is running (I know you said it is, but, just checking… :wink: )?

#19

You are right
I did bundle:start 186 (my zwave id) and went to Paper UI, Clicked Add thing and saw the Z-Wave Contrtoller Thing.

But now I ran again the following command and it is “Installed” and not “Active”

bundle:list | grep ZWave

186 │ Installed │ 80 │ 2.4.0.201809291432 │ ZWave Binding

I nran also the thins list:
smarthome:things list

.

.
zwave:serial_zstick:ed57d759 (Type=Thing, Status=UNINITIALIZED, Label=Razberry Board 2016 Z-Wave Controller, Bridge=null)
.
.

#20

Normally a bundle won’t start if it’s missing dependencies. I think the only dependency that is likely to be missing is the serial driver.

Try typing feature:install openhab-transport-serial in karaf and see if it starts.

#21

Something wiered:

I did the followings:

  • feature:install openhab-transport-serial
  • bundle:start 186
  • bundle:list | grep ZWave (186 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.4.0.201809291432 │ ZWave Binding)

but few hour later it went back to installed state

#22

and gain it “complained” on the missing “gnu.io”

#23

Clear the cache

and install the serial transport again (has to be performed after each clearing of tmp and cache)

#24

This is what is installed by the serial feature, so I guess this is being removed somehow.

#25

  • I stopped the OH service (sudo systemctl stop openhab2.service)

  • I cleaned the cache (both cache and tmp sub directories)

  • I ran OH service (sudo systemctl stop openhab2.service)

  • I ran the console (sudo openhab-cli)

  • I imported the transport serial (feature:install openhab-transport-serial)

  • I started the ZWave bundle (bundle:start 189)

  • I checked that it is active (bundle:list | grep ZWave ===> 189 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.4.0.201809291432 │ ZWave Binding)

  • I configure the port:

  • I got “Server Internal Error” message:

  • looking at the openhab.log is see this error:

Never seen that error, are you sure you have the correct port?

Check via dmesg | grep tty

#27

did
sudo dmesg | grep tty

got

#28

Looks good, no more ideas.
Edit: Does your openhab user belong to tty group?

#29

Yes, I added it to tty and dialout groups

#30

When the OH 2.4.0 release is expected.
If it is less than a month from now I’ll wait for it.
Or, may be I’ll move the snapshot releases?

#31

I’m not 100% sure as it’s not been discussed yet in the maintainers discussions, but over the past couple of years, there have been 2 releases per year - one in December, and one around June. So, I would guess December…

You don’t necessarily need to move to the snapshot if you don’t like the idea of this - you can also use the milestone builds which are updated periodically (about every month) and M4 was released very recently. I’m not sure if you need a very recent version of the binding or not (ie if we’ve made any database updates that you need in the past week or so) - if not, M4 might be a good option for you.

#32

Thanks,
I’ll wait for M4.

#33

M4 is already available - it was released a week or so back.

#34

Thanks.
