Title: Z-Wave USB Dongle
Post by: Blues on January 08, 2014, 04:13:24 am

Running 1004. After plugging in Aeon DSA02203-ZWUS Labs Z-Wave Z-Stick Series 2 USB Dongle I can see following in /var/log/messages:

Code: [Select]

Jan  7 21:05:10 dcerouter kernel: [  703.240243] usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4

AFAIK it is supposed to appear in Devices? But it does not ... :( Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

Did you see an Orbiter message asking you if you want to use a device?

Nope, I had no time to mess with it, but methinks I need to check if usbserial module was even loaded, I believe this is needed? Anyhow, I downloaded 1204 and I'm going to install it today after I get home from work.

Maybe the usb ID of this dongle is not autodetected..?
Look at the output from the "lsusb" command and see if that id exists in the ZWave device template.

You have to actually add it.  Add a new device to the 'Interfaces' section, use device template 'Zwave'.  Once that adds, make sure the 'COM port on PC' is selected and save.  Might have to tell the DCERouter to restart, and then wait a bit for it to discover the rest of the devices on your zwave network.
