Migrate ZWA-2 from local USB to PoE

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Please help!

I attempted to migrate my existing (configured) ZWA-2 from a direct USB connection to my HA Yellow to the network-based Waveshare PoE connection. I followed the instructions found here (Use Portable Z-Wave with Power-over-Ethernet – Device Toolbox), but HA is still not able to connect to the (now) remote ZWA-2.

I did assign a static IP to the Waveshare board (192.168.2.14). In the Z-Wave JS settings, under serial port, I used esphome://192.168.2.14. Looking in my esphome logs for the device, I see the following error on repeat (192.168.2.11 is the static IP for my HA Yellow):

[09:31:37.273][D][api:223]: Accept 192.168.2.11
[09:31:37.281][W][api.connection:2467]: 192.168.2.11 (192.168.2.11): Socket operation failed BAD_INDICATOR errno=11

What am I doing wrong?

Have you set up your ESP with API encryption? If so, you need to add it to the Z-Wave JS URL as a parameter (esphome://IP-or-hostname?key=ENCRYPTIONKEY). It's not documented well, probably because it was only added relatively recently.

Thank you!
