Any ideas?

System is fresh, original for RP4B.

Search for dtoverlay as that is what you're missing from the config.

It looks like problems with serial port /dev/ttyAMA0 are being reported by multiple users. From my experience with bookworm OS, Z-Way's installation script (called RaspbianInstall) needs to be updated. Here are the issues I've encountered with the installation script for the 32-bit lite version of bookworm on a Pi 4:
1. /boot/config.txt is incorrectly updated
2. serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service needs to be stopped and masked

Here's how I was able to solve the serial port problem.
1. Update file /boot/firmware/config.txt by appending the following lines to the end of the file (after the [all] line). Note that I don't use bluetooth on the Pi, so I disable bluetooth. If you use bluetooth, uncomment the miniuart-bt line and comment out the disable-bt line.
#dtoverlay=miniuart-bt
dtoverlay=disable-bt
# enable uart
enable_uart=1

2. Install lsof since this app will be used to confirm ttyAMA0 port status
apt install lsof

3. Reboot the Pi to use the new config file

4. Disable the getty service that uses the ttyAMA0 port
systemctl disable serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service
systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service
systemctl mask serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service

5. Confirm the ttyAMA0 port is not being used - no output should appear since the ttyAMA0 port should not be in use. If you've already installed Z-Way, then restart z-way-server and skip to step 7.
lsof | grep ttyAMA0

6. Install Z-Way
wget -qO - https://storage.z-wave.me/RaspbianInstall | sudo bash

7. For completeness, check the Z-Way log file /var/log/z-way-server.log to confirm the serial port is working. You can also re-run the "lsof | grep ttyAMA0" command to see the z-way process (and its threads) has opened /dev/ttyAMA0.
