Noob help with Zwave & Razberry

Howdy, folks.

I’m new to HA and have been trying to set up a Razberry Zwave board. I’m not a coder or command line guru and just keep thinking to myself that for a system that’s supposed to be user friendly, it shouldn’t be this difficult.

I’ve done a clean install (more than once!), edited the config file to add the bt miniuart line, installed ZwaveJS and ZwaveJS to MQTT (so I can use the GUI) but I can’t seem to get the board to recognize. I keep getting a driver error (Error while calling api startInclusion: Zwave client not connected ) but there’s no advice on how to fix all this.

Hoping someone here can help.

Thanks in advance!
