New Installation on Pi3 using v2.2.2 and AEOTEC Z-Stick Gen5

Post by aupton »

:?: Hi, first post here. I read through the forums and haven't found a solution so I'm hoping that someone else knows a solution ?

I'm trying to get the Pi3 running Rasbian 4.4.4. Jessi Lite using Razberry 2.2.2 and the Z-Stick Gen5 to work together without much success. I can see that the z-stick is identified by the Kernel at boot as "ttyACM0" and there is a valid device under the /dev filesystem as "/dev/ttyACM0"

However after configuring the "Z-Wave Network Access" app under settings to use /dev/ttyACM0 I'm getting these errors in the log:

"Cannot start Z-Wave binding: Error: Bad data - communication failed"

I've disabled the Bluetooth device via /boot/config.txt as some have suggested as a work around, but this did not work. I've tried rolling back to previous releases, all without success.

However, checking lsmod I see that there are zero devices using the cdc_acm module/driver:

Module Size Used by
cdc_acm 17370 0

This is strange since the cdc_acm driver is reporting this device data to the kernel at boot:

[ 5.466419] cdc_acm 1-1.5:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[ 5.467884] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm
[ 5.467901] cdc_acm: USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters

So I'm a bit stumped. Not sure where to go from here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Friendly Bump. Still trying to make some progress with this. Is there something obvious that I'm doing wrong or perhaps my expectation to use the USB z-stick is off?

Under Zwave Network Access it asks to configure these parameters:

Settings:
You need to set the IP address of the Remote Box including the port number.
You need to define the polling interval. Once second in a quite good choice.
You need to manage the remove device to be included into you UI.

I'm confused as to why it requires the IP of a remote box when I'm not using a remote box... I'm simply trying to get the z-wave stick to initialize on the Pi so I can control some pre-existing z-wave light switches that are currently under Home Seer's control.

What am I missing here ?

Thanks!
