Raspberry Pi3 - RaZberry Feature request

[evansnp]

After doing some experimenting, using 'HomeGenie', i have come to the conclusion that talking to the RaZberry card through a symlink e.g. /dev/ttyUSB20, doesn't work very well, giving loads of timeouts. In HomeGenie, I initially tried connecting to the USB20 symlink, and saw very similar problems as I was seeing in Domoticz i.e. node timeouts, nodes dead. However, in HomeGenie it's possible to configure a 'custom' port, so I used /dev/ttyAMA0, the native port, and all of the timeout issues disappeared.

So, would it be possible to add the 'custom' port choice for Z-wave devices please, as I feel that this may solve my issues with Domoticz?

Does it need it? From what I can see current beta Domoticz looks for and displays all USB serial device nodes. So for example on my Pi2-B's it shows /dev/ttyACM0 (USB connected Aeotec G5) and /dev/ttyAMA0 (RaZBerry Pi).

hamish, thanks for that steer! Just upgraded to the beta version, and ttyAMA0 appears ..... excellent!

Just be warned, that for me the beta has serious issues with data quality. It adds fake random data (& at times random devices), and ignores legitimate device data. I fell back to the release version which although still has moments of dropout (Pretty consistently for 2 hours per day on one of my TKB88E's) is a lot better at getting the actual data correct.
