Can you transfer this issue to the zwave repo @kaikreuzer?

What I meant to say in https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/issues/1511#issuecomment-647794131 is that most users currently use ser2net which does not support this mDNS discovery mechnism. Most users currently seem to use ser2net because...

There is now https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/pull/2519 that adds RFC2217 ser2net discovery in a generic way that can be used by any binding that has a `UsbSerialDiscoveryParticipant`. Maybe you can switch your own...

> Which bindings do have that UsbSerialDiscoveryParticipant yet? It's currently only used with EnOcean in the [EnOceanUsbSerialDiscoveryParticipant](https://github.com/wborn/openhab-addons/blob/dsmr-usbdiscovery/bundles/org.openhab.binding.enocean/src/main/java/org/openhab/binding/enocean/internal/discovery/EnOceanUsbSerialDiscoveryParticipant.java). If you implement a `UsbSerialDiscoveryParticipant` it will be transparent so you can use...

> I've not really looked at how this works, so haven't checked yet, but why wouldn't this also work in Zigbee? Implementing a `UsbSerialDiscoveryParticipant` is very easy. The logic only...

Ah yes I see it's used in both the `ZigBeeEmberUsbSerialDiscoveryParticipant` and `ZigBeeTelegesisUsbSerialDiscoveryParticipant`. :+1: So the new RFC2217 discovery should add those to your inbox when you configure ser2net 4.3.0 (or...

I also think it's unlikely RFC2217 discovery will ever be implemented. It would be interesting to know if ZWave with RFC2217 works for you without: * this workaround * the...

I think you did an excellent job to try to get it working @RafalLukawiecki as newcomer. Back when I started working on openHAB I also found it very difficult to...

That would be awesome! It seems [RFC2217 is working better](https://community.openhab.org/t/solved-zwave-zigbee-rfc2217-remote-serial-port-howto/81633/31?u=wborn) with these [changes](https://github.com/wborn/org.openhab.binding.zwave/commit/fdf423b93b14db030f9e5df704b37ea6e5486c18).

Yes that's the one. Doesn't it throw exceptions that you can properly handle when you open the port when the device is unplugged?
