Had to rebuild HAOS from scratch, no backups. Struggling with Z-Wave

Long story made short, my raspi4 system had its ssd die and I had no backups.
Rebuilt the system from the ground up imaging HAOS onto the new ssd.
Installed Z-Wave JS first by accident (seriously, these names are stupid easy to mix up)
Uninstalled Z-Wave JS
Installed Z-Wave JS UI
Have all nodes showing up now in the web UI for the addon, minus all names and locations

Have tried to install the Z-Wave integration without the Z-Wave JS and when I try to give it the websocket “ws://a0d7b954-zwavejs2mqtt:3000” HAOS says “Failed to connect”

WHAT DO I DO NOW? The documentation for this just assumes all happy go lucky that everything works and figuring out how to troubleshoot this has been a real pain in the ass. Help?

In the ZWaveJS UI enable the WS integration on port 3000 and make sure it’s set in the addon configuration as an opened port.

I tried this and it still fails to connect to the websocket

I figured it out! Turns out having anything set in the optional binding field for the ws server was the issue. Cleared it out and now it connects. Thanks!
