Can anyone point me in the right direction please as I am fairly sure this is a simple case of a port problem.
I upgraded to an HA Yellow CM5 from a Green and I had Z-Wave JS running which was all fine on the Green but when I’ve restore onto the Yellow it’s failed to start. Everything else was fine or, easily sorted out but this is doing my head in and I can’t fond the answer after hours of reading.
The add on is using this as the port recognised: /dev/ttyAMA10
But I suspect that is the ZBT1 and not the Aeotec Z Wave dongle hence, it will not start.
In hardware though, that’s the only device I can see of its ilk and I’ve tried all the tricks I could fine, restarting, powering down, having the dongle out for a time then starting it up again etc, etc.
In the add on logs I get this:

Which I believe is really only telling me that it can’t see the dongle. What I can’t work out is why.
