Migrating from Z-Wave.me to Aeotec Z-Stick GEN5+

Hi Guys,

I’m currently using HA on Raspberry PI4 with a Z-Wave.me board but this one is giving me headhacks.
Once all my devices have been integrated and HA configured as expected (automation, scenarios, etc.) and everything working like a charm, after some weeks I started to face issues with devices not available and a lot of error messages in the Z-Wave JS log (Dropping message because the driver is not ready to handle it yet, error: Duplicate command, etc.).
Sometimes I’m able to re-interview the device and get HA recognize it, sometimes no.

I start thinking the issue comes from the Z-Wave.me board as I got same issue with a previous Jeedom setup on same PI4 with same board. So the issue is not HA at my opinion, neither it was Jeedom…

I now bougth a usb stick Aeotec Z-Stick GEN5+ and plan to move my HA setup to use it in place of the Z-Wave.me board which I will remove.

What would be at your opinion the best plan to achieve this ?

Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance for your help.
