Oops, probably a rookie mistake. I moved my HA from the living room to the office. Therefore my Raspberry Pi 5 ( with a Aeotec Z-Stick 10 Pro - Zigbee 3.0 & Z-Wave 800 Series USB Adapter) was briefly without power. Now almost all z-wave devices are red in the Z-Wave JS overview and have therefore lost contact with HA. How do I get it working again? I have already done rebuild routes and re-interview nodes. But it’s of no use.
For example, if I manually switch a wall plug on the plug, HA has (sometimes, but not always) the connection again. But what about the devices built into the sockets?
And I do have this bad behavier not only one time. It seems to be a larger problem. If I have a look in the morning on my HA system, I have lost some devices. What happens here?
You moved the coordinator and it’s out of range of the devices it uses as first hop out into your network. You either have to move the box back in range and do a ZWave repair (repeat until moving to the final location) or just re join the devices.
ZWave will heal itself if it’s in range of other devices but if you do t have a lot of repeaters and move out of range of all the other devices it has nothing to grab for starting the repair.
Tldr ZWave (and Zigbee) is location dependent, you can’t just pick them up and move them like that without adjusting the network…
Understand. Many thanks for your support. One question regarding the z-wave repair, how to do this.
Is it : ‘Re-interview Nodes’ respectively ‘Rebuild Routes’. If yes, both of them or only one? Or another function?
I did it. But the problem still remains. Today I lost ALL batterie driven devices. The work od weehs destroyed. Sorry, but with my old Fibaro system I had not such problems. Probably it’s better to switch back to this system. Home Assistant has a lot of advantages, but it’s not stable and therefore for me not useful.
