Nodes disappeared from Z-Wave Management

I edited my entity_registry.yaml file (yeah, I know…) in order to get friendlier entity names. Here’s a sample:

zwave.zstick_gen5_us:
config_entry_id:
name: zwave.zstick_gen5_us
platform: zwave
unique_id: node-1
zwave.switch.outside_frontdoor_toggle:
config_entry_id:
name: switch.outside_frontdoor
platform: zwave
unique_id: node-5
light.fibaro_system_fgrgbwm441_rgbw_controller_level:
config_entry_id:
name:
platform: zwave
unique_id: 12-72057594244071425
zwave.fibaro_system_fgrgbwm441_rgbw_controller:
config_entry_id:
name:
platform: zwave
unique_id: node-12
zwave.switch.hallway_kitchen:
config_entry_id:
name: switch.hallway_kitchen
platform: zwave
unique_id: node-6
zwave.switch.hallway_front:
config_entry_id:
name: switch.hallway_front
platform: zwave
unique_id: node-7

I have 11 total nodes installed and working fine. However, only 2 show up in Z-Wave Management, the only two that have entity ids in the States section of HA.

What have I done wrong?

I’m not sure what you mean by “installed and working fine”? How do you know they’re working if they don’t show up in HA at all?

To test if it’s related to your entity_registry, rename your existing file to something else (I usually ad a .old to the end). restart and HA will recreate the file from the existing z wave info.

Also check your ozwcfg xml file in your HA config directory and see what’s in there.

Thank you finity! renaming and recreating the entity_registry.yaml file did the trick.
