My knowledge in linux are verry basic, i think my usb dongle id detected by linux.
I already try to change the dongle on another usb port, with the same issue.

I don't know where is the problem.
Somebody could help me ?

Thanks in advance.

Zwave USB dongle UZB1 requires port:
/dev/ttyACM0
to be set in Zwave App

Thanks for your reply, this issue is resolved now:)

When i tried to include one sensor ( Fibaro : motion sensor) in normal mode, i have the error :

INCLUSION takes a long time to start up.

And i i used the expert mode :

Error handling data
/ZWave.zway/Run/controller.AddNodeToNetwork(1)

In log file :

SETDATA controller.data.secureInclusion = True
Max number of devices (1) reached

I read on this forum, this is a problem of license !?
Somebody could tell me if it's right and how much cost one license ? ( i don't know if one license is limited at a number of sensor ? )

Thanks in advance for your help.

The price is around 60 EUR. UZB1 can in principle control 232 devices. Performence depends on number of devices, and how often you poll them.

Thanks for your reply.

I too expensive for me , i will search another solution, might be nodejs & openzwave
