I know in order to remove failed nodes I need to set: “is_failed: true” but that does not appear to be an option with: zwave.ge_12722_onoff_relay_switch_3 - 5 as it is with, for example, a similar switch: zwave.ge_12722_onoff_relay_switch_6. Do I need to set: restored: false or something else?
Does anyone know how to permanently delete these? Clicking: “Remove Entity” in the Home Assistant Overview section does not appear to work as I did that but this device still appears under Developer Tools --> States.
So my previous post showed the option to: “REMOVE ENTITY” from the Home Assistant Overview section but I believe that just removes it from the Overview section and not the actual Z-Wave Gateway (in my case: Aeotec ZW090 Z-Stick Gen 5). But if I remove Z-Wave nodes from the Z-Wave Node Management section, will that actually remove it from the Aeotec ZW090 Z-Stick memory? I picked: “unknown node 2” for this example:
I think you already removed your nodes from your Z-wave stick. What you are seeing are ghost leftovers in the HA and or Zwave configuration. You can manually delete them from core.device_registry and core.entity_registry in the .storage directory under your config directory for the HA occurrences and I believe from your zwcfg_*.xml, for the management panel. Make backups for all before you edit them.
Thank you for this information! I do not really understand why Zwave devices appear to have both entity and device entries as well as the purpose of the core.device_registry and core.entity_registry files when I have the: zwcfg_*.xml file, pyozw.sqlite, etc…? Why not just combine all the attributes for each Zwave device and have one database? It’s very confusing. Also, are those two files generated from my Aeotec ZW090 Z-Stick?
No, these files are homeassistant’s storage of entities and devices it knows about. The Zwave integration (not the stick itself) adds its configured devices in there, but doesn’t do always a great job deleting them if nodes are removed. The Z-wave integration is going to get an upgrade soon(-ish) so maybe things will get better.
And Happy Birhday!!
Nice, looking forward to the Z-wave integration upgrade! And thank you for the Happy Birthday!
