Z-Station: Using Z-Wave & Zigbee
Posted: 30 Sep 2025 10:04
Main problem:
I have purchased a new Z-Station from , and the Z-Wave part works fine, but I cannot include any Zigbee devices.
I use (or would like to use) the following ports:
/dev/ttyUSB0 -> Z-Wave
/dev/ttyUSB1 -> Zigbee
My guess is that Zigbee may not be pre-installed yet. So I am following these instructions:
https://z-wave.me/support/tools-for-zig ... hread-ble/
I have downloaded the tool:
Zigbee Tool for Raspberry Pi
Get firmware info
For Zigbee firmware: zme_zigbee info -d /dev/ttyXX
For OpenThread firmware: zme_open_thread info -d /dev/ttyXX
For BLE firmware: zme_ble info -d /dev/ttyXX
But it doesn't work:
me@raspberrypi:/var/tmp/zme_zigbee $ zme_zigbee info -d /dev/ttyUSB1
-bash: zme_zigbee: command not found
me@raspberrypi:/var/tmp/zme_zigbee $ file zme_zigbee zme_zigbee: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, BuildID[sha1]=11de62005d720c912422caf775e5ee4f661ba1f1, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped
me@raspberrypi:/var/tmp/zme_zigbee $ ./zme_zigbee info -d /dev/ttyUSB1 ./zme_zigbee: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: ELF load command address/offset not page-aligned
The problem is apparently this error: ‘error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: ELF load command address/offset not page-aligned’.
The Z-Station is supposed to run on a Raspberry Pi (64-bit OS (arm64)). Apparently, however, the zme_zigbee binary is a 32-bit ARM ELF (armhf).
The error message seems to indicate an ABI incompatibility → it looks as if the Z-Wave.Me binaries were built on a ‘classic’ armv7hf and do not run cleanly on arm64 with multiarch.
Is it correct to assume that, contrary to the instructions (https://z-wave.me/drive/?file=6dd7593b2 ... 82c8ea851d), Z-Station does not natively support Debian/Ubuntu x64?
