All nodes show as unavailable after I moved the installation to a different PC

So it’s my rental house and I had to ask my tenant to ship the RP to me which took a few days and then even more to move everything to a lenovo desktop etc.

Now, they received everything back and all nodes show as unavailable. I have no idea why but here are some clues:

  1. The original Aotec stick was damaged in shipping so I had to buy them a new one.
  2. Is there any timeout for the devices to reset themselves if they don’t see the base for too long?

As far as I’m aware, devices pair to the stick, so if you have purchased a new stick, then everything would need to be re-paired to the new device. It’s been a while since I’ve used Z-Wave, so I may be wrong.

That’s correct, devices are paired to the stick. So if OP doesn’t have a backup of the Aeotec stick, he needs to repair all devices.

Wow, how do I make a backup of the stick? If the stick is broken I have to reset all zwave devices and repair them?

There’s a tool for windows where you can do a backup/restore of the Aeotec sticks.

Yes.

I’m wondering how the package company managed to break a USB stick…

Thanks. I have no idea to be honest. Actually I have two installations now with the same issue. One stick just broke by itself and another was damaged during shipping. Bad luck.

How do you ensure that they are broke? I use mine like 4 years and never had issues and I also never heard from people here that the stick got broken.

One looks like this:

and the other one simply shows as unavailable in Virtual Box. Here is my topic about this issue: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/aotec-stick-on-virtualbox-installation-suddenly-shows-as-unavailable/241501

The Sigma device shows greyed out.

Wooow, these guys should pay you back the stick plus 1000 dollars for the time and effort to repair all the devices.
