I have a Z-Wave device that is at the outer end of the range, and it works fine except for every once in a while it gets stuck in re-interviewing. If I bring it inside, it reconnects, and then I can put it back outside and all is well. I think this happens when I restart the Z-Wave add-on, but not certain. My question is, is there a way to tell HA to not re-interview this device?
The real solution here is getting your mesh reliable by placing a mains powered zwave device somewhere in the middle between the coordinator and the device you are having troubles with 
I have a very good Zwave network with some 65 Zwave devices. However after a Zwave update a few months ago, several of my Zwave devices are being re-interviewed frequently. It is definitely not the quality of my mesh network.
It’s not normal for devices to re-interview on their own. Once an interview is completed successfully it is never re-interviewed again unless manually triggered (such as to update from a config file change) or after a firmware update.
I agree but it happens, and it is not a setting in the devices or an automation. It happens since a ZWave update a few months ago.
Are you running zwave-js UI? In the zui logs do you see this when the interview starts?
2025-12-13 13:55:14.411 INFO Z-WAVE: [Node 010] Interview started
And if you turn on debuggin in the zwave integration do you see something like this?
