I using a I am using an Aeon DSA02203-ZWUS Labs Z-Wave Z-Stick Series 2 USB Dongle with openHAB, and I have found that OpenZWave Control Pannel is a very useful companion tool for configuring and testing Z-Wave devices before you add them to openHAB

mkdir svn
cd svn
svn checkout http://open-zwave.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ open-zwave
svn checkout http://openzwave-control-panel.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ openzwave-control-panel-read-only
sudo yum install libudev-devel
cd ..
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/libmicrohttpd-0.9.19.tar.gz
tar zxvf libmicrohttpd-0.9.19.tar.gz
mv libmicrohttpd-0.9.19 libmicrohttpd
cd libmicrohttpd
./configure
make
cd ..
cd open-zwave
make

uncomment the following lines and change the LIBZWAVE to match

# for Linux uncomment out next three lines
LIBZWAVE := $(wildcard $(OPENZWAVE)/*.a)
LIBUSB := -ludev
LIBS := $(LIBZWAVE) $(GNUTLS) $(LIBMICROHTTPD) -pthread $(LIBUSB)

make
ln -s ../open-zwave/config/ .
./ozwcp -d -p 1234

bring up a browers http://server:1234

I have my zwave configured for /dev/zwave (which i will post a blog in in the future)
