Can't include a Fibaro Z-wave device

Hi,
I’ve been struggling for so long now with the same problem… I’ve bought two Z-wave devices which I want to connect to Home assistant through an Aeotec Z-stick gen 5 connected to a RPI 2. I’ve tried and retried for hours. It always ends up in the same way.
The first device is a Nexa AN179 on/off switch. This is always working perfectly, even if I include it using the button on the Aeotec (which I know I shouldn’t) or using the add node secure command.
The other node is a Fibaro FGD-212 Dimmer. If I include it using the button, it shows up in HA but are tagged “dead”. If I use the add node secure nothing happens. I’ve tried to reset both the stick and the devices between the different approaches I’ve been describing several times with the same result. I can’t see any errors in the OZW log. Strangely I can’t see more or less anything in connection to pressing the add node secure. Should I?
I’ve also tested to include the Fibaro device (using the button) in an Openhab system. There both devices work! But I want all my devices to be in the HA environment.

Right now the RPI is about 3m from the Fibaro. What am I’m doing wrong?

Who said you shouldn’t? This way works 100% of the time and doesn’t require HA. I’ve never included a device another way.

After you include the device on your stick, do you see communications in the logs from that node when you press the buttons?

Thanks for your reply.

According to the home assistant documentation, https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/z-wave/adding/: “Don’t use the OpenZWave control panel (OZWCP), or the physical button on a controller , to add or remove devices. Many devices will only send the information about their capabilities at the time you include them. If you use the OpenZWave control panel, or the button on a device, then Home Assistant won’t have that information. Using the physical button on a controller will also result in a non-security inclusion being performed, which may limit the features the device supports.”

But what I find strange is that it works in OpenHab?? But if I perform the inclusion of both devices in Openhab and just move the stick to my Home assistant RPI I still get the same problem with the Fibaro shown as dead.

No. I just went through the inclusion process using the button again. From what I can see the first messages after Home assistant is restarted looks ok, but then all of a sudden it says that the node is presumed dead. When toggling the physical switch connected to the device nothing is shown in the log.
Below is the log from my latest try. I’ve tried to remove everything related to the other node (node002) in order to make it more visible. The node in question is Node0004:

Thanks,

What version of hassio are you using? I noticed that something was changed around 0.95 introduction in how the z-wave operates and this resulted in my fibaro dimmer 2 (exactly the same model as yours) to be broken. It was working perfectly fine before, but now I cannot control it from UI. It works when operated from hardwired button and reports properly its status back to hassio, but I found no way to control it - looking at log I see some messages being send to dimmer and being droped due to no response. Perhaps problem is broader and while using newer version of hassio it is not possible to add this specific device?
BTW, also Aeon Labs Nano Dimmer behaves now exactly the same way - switch entity on this node does not respond. All other z-wave devices I have work perfectly fine.
After reading your post, I doubt I want to try to remove/add again (which I planned) these devices, I might loose them for all…

Thanks Mirek
I running version Home assistant 0.89.2.

I forgot to mention that during startup the Home assistant log shows “Z-Wave entity Unknown Node 4 Level (node_id: 4) not ready after 30 seconds, continuing anyway”.

How many devices do you have and how far away from each other and the hub are they?

I have two. Right now they are too far apart from each other. But the problem was the same when both the devices and the RPI were in the same room. Right now the RPI is about 3m from the Fibaro device causing my problems.

Remove the node and readd it and post the OZW_Log.txt of the repairing process. This will help shed better light on the issue.

Thanks for your tips. Based on my interpretation of your suggestion I just tried the following sequence:

  1. For node 004 I pressed “Remove failed node” and then “Replace failed node”.
    After that I pressed “Heal node” (which gave an error message in HA). I finally pressed “Heal network”. This resulted in the OZW messages as shown below. I did not touch the Fibaro device during this process.

Thanks
Daniel

By the way. After I did the “replace node” thing I notice there is one difference . Before the node was presumed dead. Now it’s stuck initializing. When I open the Node information window I also notice that now the node is not failed which is was before. But not ready either.

Anyone that can shed some light over this issue as explained above?

Quick update: I bought another identical Fibaro unit and did the exact same procedure by adding the new node from the HA interface (not via the button on the Aeotec stick). For some reason it worked right away. I’ve repeated these steps with the old unit several times more after that with the same unsuccessful result. So in summary, one node keeps failing, the other, identical works perfectly. No idea why.

Sounds like defective/dead hardware then on your failed node.
You could try a factory reset on it, that might help.
