The MultiSensor 6 has USB power which I have tried by connecting this to a mains power supply through a phone charger. Still nothing.
I’ve even tried installing the ZWave2mqtt extension. The. zWave interface does the same thing and shows that the controller tries to connect but doesn’t find any devices.
I’ve tried this controller on two different pi’s one of which had a fresh install of homeassistant. Both did the same thing.
So this is the only device…
If that isn’t working, it’s likely a range issue, unless you’re pairing it on the desk next to you.
Yep. That’s exactly what I’m doing. I’ve even tried pairing with the sensors sitting directly on top of the usb stick.
As I said, the ZWave.me UZB1 stick works perfectly, but the two HUSBZB I have won’t see any devices. The ZigBee interface of the HUSBZB will find devices, it’s just the zwave side of it.
Sounds more like a hardware issue than a software issue then.
What a shame! Did you do anything else with zwave at all? I have a nortek busbzb-1 stick which the logs say are working, the tile is in the HA for zwave and it appears to be calling the services okay. I am trying to connect aeotec sensor 6 to the stick but they just will not pair. Nothing in the log shows up to even recognise the sensor at all when i try to pair them.
This is one warning I get when I print the sticks node
Manager.cpp:2499 - 102 - ValueID passed to GetValueFloatPrecision is not a Decimal Value
and heres another error I got when i refreshed it
2019-07-04 20:01:01.787 Error, contrlr, ERROR: Dropping command, expected response not received after 1 attempt(s)
I guess it probally is a hardware issue```For what it’s worth…
I’m using a Nortek HUSBZB-1 with both z-wave and zigbee under Hass.io on a Pi3 B+.
Aside from needing to find and copy the config declaration from a semi-obscure wiki entry my installation worked. I don’t have many devices… but my 2GIG thermostat, Nortek z-wave LED light bulb, Zooz z-wave outlet and Osram zigbee LED strip all sync’d on first run. That said- I added a second zooz outlet and it fought me a bit… but it did pair once I bumbled my way through the right combination putting the controller and device into their respective inclusion modes.
if it helps at all- the applicable entries from my config…
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB0
network_key: ".... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ...."
zha:
usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB1
database_path: /config/zigbee.db
Are all the devices using the same z-wave frequency ?
HUSBZB-1 Z-Wave Operating Frequency 908.42 MHz / 916 MHz
Yes that all use the same frequency unless you go international, different frequencies in the EU vs US.
I’ve just had a total revelation. Thanks Brice. After all this time ive realised that I’m in using EU frequencies and the HUSBZB is not ha ha ! What a brain fart!
Hi All
Apologies in advance if I haven’t noticed anything obvious, as I am new to HA.
I have recently purchased a Nortek HUSBZB-1 to communicate with my Xiaomi door and motion sensors and wireless switch.
However, after plugging in the Nortek USB into my rasp pi 3b+ I was able to see ZHA and Z-Wave in my configurations in the UI, but wasn’t able to add any of the above devices. When I click ZHA and then add devices, the searching continues with no result.
Can anyone help!?
My HA.log shows the following:

What country are you in? I was in the same situation as you and found that I was trying to pair a US frequency Controller with a European device which will never work as they are on different frequencies.
I’m in Australia. But the Xiaomi sensors appear to be with an Asian/European adaptor and my Nortek was purchased from Amazon and mentions CA in the user manual.
Doesn’t look right, check your ls -al /dev/tty* output usually the come across as ACM or AMA devices.
Well there is your problem. You have a mix of frequencies which don’t match. Just do a search for Z-Wave regional frequencies
Ok thanks! I will try and suss out how to do that… 
So don’t think the Geography made a difference as I worked out how to pair them! Just had to press the pairing button repeatedly for 15 seconds (15 times!)
I bought my HUSBZB-1 from Amazon. How I suppose to find out what region/frequency it uses?
