I added a Zooz 4-in-1 sensor, but must have made a mistake. Only the badges showed up on the homepage, the sensor did not. However, it did show up under States <> and in the Z-wave logs as Node22. I did a factory reset on the sensor, and added it (securely) and now it is showing up as Node23 which is ok, but how can I remove all references to Node22?
If all else fails you may have to edit that entry out of the ozwcfg_…xml file in your config directory. I would save an unmodified copy of it first tho.
I don’t think re-enumerating your nodes is a good idea. There is some kind of a link between the data in your z stick (or other controller) and that xml file because the xml file info is somehow pulled from the controller. I’d be concerned that with the node info on the controller and xml file not referencing the same device it could really jack things up.
After some editing of the entity_registry.yaml file, the Zooz 4-in-one is now showing up as Node22. Yippee!
I also have an Unknown Node23 that is still initializing after a reboot about 5 minutes ago. I think I’ll let it fail (may take a day or two) then remove it via the Z-Wave Configuration page.
Thanks Everyone! I think this is fixed (for now). I just have to get my motion sensing automaton working now.
Aparently the controller does not reuse node numbers. @squirtbrnr said:
It’s not just HA. That’s the zwave controller doing it. Once you hit node 232 it will start over and re-use any unused node numbers. Zwave allows a maximum of 232 nodes including the controller.
This actually makes sense. If Node 5 is offline temporarily, you don’t want the controller to reuse the node number with the next new device.
