About to give up

I posted a few days ago about my troubles getting the names and ids of my Zwaves dimmers to stay stable between reboots, HA to OZWCP and adding nodes.

Since then I upgraded to the latest HA release, painstakingly named all the devices in zwcfg (doing it from the UI was just too slow), changed all my customizations and groups and finally got something workable and seemingly stable.

Today I’m trying to add another set of 7 dimmers and BANG, after the first call add_node and restart ALL THE NAMES (and locations) are gone from zwcfg (and therefore HA). Thanks god I made a backup…

I can’t keep going on like that. I have at least another 25 nodes to add to the existing 40. This is killing me…

Can anyone help figure out what is going on?

What equipment are you installing on?
How are you installed (venv, docker, direct install)

Are the nod name changing in openzwave or just HA?
What zwave devices are you using?
