FreeBSD and aeon labs' Z-Wave usb stick

[Samppa Kytömäki]

Hello,

I'm trying to run openhab on freebsd with aeon labs' usb zwave stick. Has anyone made it work? I assume that the correct port to use is /dev/cuaU0.

I’m not sure about freebsd, but can’t you do ls /dev and see what port is added when you plug in the USB stick?

Hi Samppa

Were you able to get things going. I'm facing a similar problem on my freenas... I also think this is the right port, as it is the one added when I put the stick into the USB port.

Thx!

Another hint: please double-check if the openhab user is member of the group of the device.

You might also need to do the following:

"You will also need to add the property to the Java command line by adding the following (device names delimited by ":" ) to the file /etc/init.d/openhab in the JAVA_ARGS section with your device names substituted.

-gnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/rfxcomUSB:/dev/zwaveUSB"

I don't know what openhab 'expects' for serial ports, but i suspect it's ttyUSB0. So you would need to add /dev/cuaU0 (or whatever your device enumerates as).

See https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/Hardware-FAQ

Hope that helps,

Paul

Has this been resolved? I'm dealing with the same issue and have been unable to find any information about a fix. I would appreciate any help the group could provide. Thank you.
