Automation Config Broken after excluding ZwaveJS node

So I exluded my Zoos ZEN32 Scene conroller from the ZwaveJS integration so I could do a firmware update on the device. It excluded from the network no problem BUT it broke my automation conifg.

I am using the Zwavejs add on with homeassistantOS.

I tried reflashing my odroid and restoring from a backup but the problem persists.

The firmware on the scene controller was a beta and I’m using an older nortek HUSBZB-1 But Im thinking this is an integration issue with Zwavejs. I made a pull request here.

I am out of my element here and my whole house runs on home assistant. Any thoughts and ideas would be much appreaciated. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Looks like you have an automation that is referring to a device ID. Since you excluded the node the HA device was probably removed, and the integration is having trouble handling that scenario. I would just try commenting out any of those automations that refer to the missing device and see if it starts up. Then you can modify the automation afterwards.

That was it! Thanks for the help
