Issue with ZWave pose upgrade home assistant

So i’ve updated home assistant core and operating systems to:

  • Installation methodHome Assistant OS
  • Core2025.9.1
  • Supervisor2025.08.3
  • Operating System16.1
  • Frontend20250903.3

Since then, all my zwave devices went dead (i saw in logs dead nodes for all nodes)
so i started playing with it resulting in deleting all devices and factory reseting my Aeotec USB controller 700/800 series.
Now - my devices are simply can’t be discovered even after reseting the devices (for example fgs-223) and putting them in inclusion mode…

I litterly lost all my zwave netwrok and i can’t recover it. Honestly, i don’t care rebuilding it by pairing again all devices but it somply can’t find any (tried two different fgs-223 by resetting them using the B button and then 3 clicks to enter inclusion mode)

PLEASE HELP!

Edit - was able to include a new device (fgs-223) but for some reason - it is included in the network as a dead node and re-intereviewing it doesn’t work… it fails with
CNTRLR [Node 004] ping failed: The node did not acknowledge the command (ZW0204)
