Cannot Start Z-Wave on RP4/Aeotec 5 (Resolved?)

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hi! I have gone through everything I can find on this topic, and I have tried everything including running the Aeotec stick through a USB 2.0 hub. HA locates the stick no problem when setting up the integration, but the network won’t start - it just hangs when I attempt.

Unfortunately, I’m a 100% noob at this, but I did get the following from the log:

I did find this thread, and I have tried using both types of address for the z-wave stick. The Integration is created in both cases, and in both cases the z-wave network won’t start - just hangs.

So… I have no idea what the solution was. It just decided to start working now. I have repeated the same steps several times, but this time it worked. I removed the z-wave integration, added it back in with the /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00 address, rebooted the host, and now it’s functional. I’ve done this back and forth with both addresses 3 times before to no effect. But now… it works.

You were originally using /dev/ttyAMA0 which is invalid.

It didn’t work with /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00 the first three times I tried either, though.
