When switching several devices (5 shelly wave plugs) simultaneously, i sometimes get the following error:

Instead, switching each device separatly, causes no error. Homeassistant is in hyper-v, the aeotec gen5+ stick is on a raspberry pi, connected to ha by tcp: using ser2net.

What might be the reason?

It’s interesting that you’ve posted this about 6 hours ago since I’m hitting this as well just today, and this is the only post I’ve seen with this exact same error (Unexpected error (0 , import_serial.isAnySendDataResponse) is not a function TypeError: (0 , import_serial.isAnySendDataResponse) is not a function). I’m wondering if this is a newly introduced bug.

I also see a similar error. I have a helper that creates a group of lights. Some of those lights themselves have helpers that change the type from switch to light.
When I turn on (or off) the group of lights, I sometimes get errors, but not always.
It has only started recently.

I am using a raspberry pi 5 running HAOS 2025.4.4 and using a UZB by Z-Wave.Me running Firmware: 5.25.

@RobinA @tenpaiyomi There are two things I’ve notified:

  1. I believe this error is new after having upgraded to the latest z-wave js ui version from the previous version some days ago.
  2. Before this upgrade, instead of getting this error I had the problem with dead nodes, especially when switching more than one device simultaneously. This didn’t occure any longer since the update any more, in favour of this new error. But devices get switched despite.

I suppose they fixed something regarding the dead nodes issue, which causes this new error now?

Where to report this issue best? On the GitHub repository for homeassistant itself, for the z-wave js ui, or for the z-wave js ui addon only?
