z-wave js fails to start after upgrading to 0.1.86

[object]

The problem

After upgrading Z-Wave JS from version 0.1.85 to 0.1.86 z-wave js add-on no longer starts. It shows "Failed setup, will retry" status in Z-Wave page.

I am using Aeotec Z-Wave Gen 7 USB stick. Device path seems to be corret: /dev/ttyUSB0 ID: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_30e744e60555ed11b47c99131d62bc44-if00-port0

I tried to follow various suggestions (re-insterting the USB stick, restarting the plugin, rebooting hardware), nothing helped.

UPDATE: Downgrading to 0.1.85 and restarting the add-on made it work again.

I submitted the logs below.

I am experiencing the same exact issue after the update last night (On Zooz 800LR stick)

I am experiencing the same exact issue after the update last night (On Zooz 800LR stick)

Do your logs look like mine? Did you also try to re-insert the stick. I saw another issue when the issue was resolved by re-inserting the USB stick followed by the system restart. But it didn't solve my problem.

[MerekW]

Embarrassingly, I don't have them, as I restored the snapshot from before the ZWaveJS update. It DID, however take a hardware reset, even after the restore (unplug/re-plug the USB stick), so that definitely indicates a hardware lockup.

How do you restore snapshots? I have full backup (using Home Assistant Google backup add-on) and it contains Z-Wave JS backup for 0.1.85. But I never ran any restores for a specific add-on.

[MerekW]

From Settings->System->Backups: Select the "addon_core_zwave_js_0.1.85" backup entry (will be there as long as you left "Create backup before updating" checked when you updated the add-on). Select both check boxes on the add-on restore pop-up, and click "Restore". I'd say reboot, but power the machine off and re-seat your USB dongle, then power up and boot.

HA should come back to the snapshot point prior-to the upgrade that locked it up.

[object]

Thanks a lot! I'll give it a try.

[philipwhand]

I was having this issue; finally resolved it by restoring 0.1.85, shutting down my HA VM, rebooting my host, unplugging and replugging my Z-Wave stick, and starting the HA VM back up. I'm guessing it was something with the 86 update so I'll hold off on updating again until there is a new update.

[simonthan]

phyiscally removing the z-wave stick and rebooting the ha vm worked for me to get it working again.

Does that persist through VM reboots?

After doing the above I reinstalled the latest JS update and everything seems to be working now.

[simonthan]

Mixed Test 1: did a HA restart, Z-Wave is still working Test 2: did a reboot of the host, Z-Wave is not working. Had to phyiscally pull out the stick and plug back in, restart HA to make Z-Wave work again

[mikem30303]

I have the same problem with Zooz 700 Series (ZST10). Following.

[raman325]

@AlCalzone any ideas here? Here's the PR for the addon bump to 0.86. We could try to update zwave-js in the addon to 11.10.0 and see if that resolves it but I'm not really clear on what's happening

[TonyPTX]

Have a Zooz 700 Series that also locked up after 0.186 update. Rebooted the Proxmox VM twice, then unplugged and replugged the USB Z-Wave stick, "reloaded" the Z-Wave JS service, then "restarted" HA and everything is working again for now. I have not tired to "reboot" machine, but do have a working back-up copy of VM if I need to resort to that.

[AlCalzone]

It seems that the sticks are still in 16-bit node ID mode when that happens. The driver automatically soft-resets if that is enabled, which fixes the issue. But AFAIK, HA has disabled soft-reset altogether.

Workarounds:

• unplug and re-plug the stick
• enable soft reset (only Z-Wave JS UI AFAIK)

[object]

Looks like it's time to migrate to ZWave JS UI. BTW unplugging the stick didn't help me.

[thechrisps]

I have this problem too. HA 2023.8.2. ZwaveJS 0.1.86. Aeotec Z-Stick 7, ZWA010-C, 700 series.

Logs look similar to above (Controller identification returned invalid node ID 0)

Downgrading to 0.1.85, rebooting host, unplugging / repluging stick worked to fix it

[object]

Needless to say that downgrading to 0.1.85 solved the issue.

[julien-vancouver]

downgrade, unplug & reboot resolved issue for me.

[AlCalzone]

Will be fixed by node-zwave-js version 11.10.1 (releasing now).

[BradyRosino]

@AlCalzone , thank you! I just applied the update and tested with a full reboot of the host to make sure everything came up clean. All is well again.

[object]

@AlCalzone I confirm that the version 0.1.87 resolves the issue. Thank you for the quick response. I am closing the ticket.
