Automations fail to load in 2022.3

Configuration
1

All my automations work fine in 2022.2.9 and prior however updating to 2022.3 or 2022.3.1 causes the automations to fail to load. I have pasted the log below. Appreciate any help troubleshooting this.

Random thought: Did you update ZwaveJs as required in the release notes?

3

My ZWaveJS version is 1.15 and ZWaveJS2MQTT is 0.35.2 so I think everything should be up to date.

4

Reading through the full changelog, it appears that significant changes have been made to ZWaveJS automation parameters and event listening. I will probably have to edit the ZWave automations so that they follow the new guidelines and not result in an invalid configuration in pre-2022.3 setups.

I was able to resolve the problem by deleting some disabled, in-progress ZWave automations that look for changes in certain ZWave parameters. Not sure why in 2022.3 that throws an invalid config error, but at least it’s now resolved and doesn’t disable automations completely!
