even i am facing the same problem
Razberry Z-wave server not binding with zwave plug TKB68ZE

These are the error messages:
In the expert UI: "Error handling data from server"
In the home automation UI: "Can not start Z-Wave binding: Error: Bad data - communication failed"

There are no mentions of ttyAMA0 in both /etc/inittab and /boot/cmdline.txt files.
Tried on a new raspberry pi model B+ and connected it as shown in image on http://razberry.z-wave.me/ website.
http://127.0.0.1:8084/cgi-bin/main.cgi

Also, z-way remote access not responding after entering ID '22911' and password '12 digit aplhanumeric (generated default at time of installation)'.
Tried it with different versions of zwave i.e v1.4 and v2.0 but still problem remains unsolved.

Attaching the log file and screen shots FYI. i am trying to troubleshoot for over now still same error. product support is very bad. came to conclusion that no way to debug this without their help. so please help us in debugging this asap.

I see also lot of error like Can not start Z-Wave binding: Error: Bad data - communication failed, configuration is ok, with another razberry it's work. I see more than 20 razberry (on park of 500-1000 razberry). Is there any explication of that form z-wave.me ?

[pz1]

Guys, I do have difficulty understand your posts. It would be helpful if you placed some information about your system in your posts, (or in your signature)

[zoic22]

It's generally on rpi (1 or 2). It's not system dependant because with another razberry on same hardware and software it's ok

Guys..
I am also seeing same issue... Any one is able to resolve it ?

Need help , Its urgent

[bmal66]

Every time (often) it happens to me, I have to connect to home automation UI / preferences / modules and install z-wave binding if it is not present (it disappears for no reason)
