My system is a raspberry pi 2b with Raspbian 10 (buster) running Kodi and Home Assistant in Python Virtualenv, recently upgraded to Home Assistant 0.100.1.
There are three nodes in my Z-Wave network. A Z-Wave.Me ZME_UZB1 USB Stick, a Fibaro Wall Plug and the Spirit Z Thermostat, which I want to remove. All nodes are awake and ready.
To remove I clicked to the config area, down to z-wave and hit the node remove button. Then I pressed and did hold the button on the thermostat as described in the Spirit Z manual for at least 5 seconds. The device showed “LEA” on its display and then switched back to showing the current temperature setting point, instead of “INS” as described in the manual.
I can see nothing suspicious in the ozw log however:

Is this the supposed way to remove that kind of device? I want to remove it from the radiator and replace with a non Z-Wave device, but remove it from the Z-Wave network correctly first, so it can be added to a different Z-Wave network later.
