After spending hours configuring my Z-Wave setup, I must say, it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience! 
I’ve managed to integrate my Nexia DB100Z with OpenHAB2, and it’s running like a charm. For those of you who might be struggling with similar setups, here’s a quick rundown of my journey and some tips that might help you along the way.First off, I was initially puzzled by the Nexia DB100Z only showing a battery-level channel. I wondered if this was a sensor issue or something related to the device’s power management. After some digging and reaching out to the community, I realized that the Nexia DB100Z is designed to report battery levels as its primary function. This makes sense, especially if you’re using it as a low-power sensor in a larger Z-Wave network.One thing I noticed during my setup was the occasional debug log message about inconsistent node addresses. It looked like this:2018-05-25 22:33:10.592 [DEBUG] [ssage.ApplicationCommandMessageClass] - NODE 10: Transaction not completed: node address inconsistent. lastSent=10, incoming=255At first, this was a bit concerning, but after some research, I found that this is a known behavior when devices are waking up from sleep mode. It doesn’t affect functionality, but it’s good to be aware of it if you’re monitoring your logs closely.For anyone looking to dive into Z-Wave with OpenHAB, here are a few tips:1. Firmware Updates: Always ensure your Z-Wave devices are running the latest firmware. This can significantly improve reliability and performance.2. Network Health: Regularly check your Z-Wave network health in OpenHAB. A stable network is key to smooth operations.3. Documentation: The OpenHAB community documentation is a treasure trove of information. If you’re stuck, chances are someone else has encountered the same issue and documented a solution.Reflecting on my experience, I’m genuinely impressed by how well OpenHAB handles Z-Wave integration. The ability to customize rules and automate actions based on sensor data is incredibly powerful. It’s also heartening to see such a vibrant community willing to help newcomers like myself.If you’re just starting out with Z-Wave or OpenHAB, don’t hesitate to ask questions or share your experiences. We’re all here to learn and grow together! 
Happy automating!
