Anyone having an idéa?
EDIT: There was an update of HA at May 20,…any issues there?
Ok, back to openHAB for the time being
EDIT: And it is working, do I need to get another USB Z-wave stick and migrate each device to it???
What operating system are you running and have you taken the precautions needed for said operating system?
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
I have flashed the image with both BalenaEtcher and Rufus - with the same results
That’s not what I asked. What operating system are you running?
Ehh,…What is included in hass.io image
Flashing this: https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/3.13/hassos_rpi3-3.13.img.gz
Ok, so there shouldn’t be anything to do in regards to your os (which is HassOS).
So, look in your zwave logs. At the bottom of the zwave configuration is a ui that has the ability to tail the zwave logs. Tail the logs and see if there are any failures.
As posted above, I get some strange warnings.
Thinking of it is is not possible to just migrate - that I need a fresh/new USB Z-wave stick and move device by device…not very attempting though…
As of now my openHAB solution works as expected
The post above is not the correct logs which is why I asked you to tail the zwave logs in the configuration.
EDIT: I don’t have the ability to take a screenshot of the page at the moment. But it’s at the bottom of the zwave configuration page. There’s a textbox that allows you to put in a number and a button named ‘tail’. Type 1000 and hit tail and you should see the zwave logs.
Did you make sure that you use the same home-ID and the Z-Wave Network security key in HA as before in openHAB?
All devices you have included secure in openHAB.
Can only works if you setup the same Z-Wave Network security Key in HA as used before in openHAB.
And I think, the same for the home-ID .

Thanks @Osorkon, I will look into that…however I I have paired my devices to the AEON Z-wave stick and not to the openHAB installation itself. The openHAB installation just recognize the devices…but will look into it
The point is, if you included any devices securely in openHAB, the HA installation needs to use the same network key, otherwise talking to those devices will fail. The key is stored in the software, not on the USB stick. If you did not use secure inclusion, that doesn’t matter then.
You might get more insight if you post your zwcfg*.xml file and the complete OZW_Log.txt file. Also describe what kind of devices you have. Are they all mains-powered? Any battery powered? Secure inclusion or not? For the XML file you’ll either need to stop HA to flush the file to disk, or “Save Configuration” from the control panel to do the same.
The “not ready after 30 seconds” message means HA does see the some of the node information, like manufacturer and product name, so it assumes the discovery has not completed yet.

Yesterday I flashed a fresh image on RPi 3 and did the basic config.
The morning today I got the Z-wave Network Security Key from openHAB and configured HA.

I have Z-wave devices like
- Fibaro FGS221 Double Relay Switch 2x1.5kW
- Fibaro FGRGBW RGBW Controller (currently without power)
- Fibaro FGWP101 Metered Wall Plug Switch
- Fibaro FGD212 Dimmer 2
- Aeotec ZW100 Multisensor 6
- Philio PAN11 Smart Energy Plug In Switch
- Telldus TZWP-102 Telldus socket and energy meter
All powered by main with the exception of RGBW controller which “sits behind” a Fibaro FGS221 Double Relay Switch 2x1.5kW. No battery ones.
I have not, so far I can rember, not done secure inclusions. All inclusions have been done via the button on AEON Labs ZW090 Z-Stick Gen5 EU controller. Then if openHAB have done anything behind the scenes. Therefore I added the network key to be sure and as recommended.
Still no devices and plan to leave it for a while before rebooting.
Uploaded zwcfg_0xc13c926f.xml and OZW_Log.txt to

I really appreciate your help with this so I can go further and make use of Home Assistant.
I have had the same experience coming from Openhab; the zwave library worked very well and all my devices were discovered and running (around 90 nodes).
HA is MUCH better sw, and much better supported, but the zwave is rubbish* and when it does find a node, adds many non-related attributes
*the qt-openzwave using ozw1.6 looks to be the saviour, but it’s not out of beta.
In the meantime, tweaking the options file improved my discovery rate from around 5-10 nodes to about 70; it has been trial and error, but this set of numbers works for me the best.

Well, I can tell you why your nodes aren’t being found:
2020-05-23 11:13:34.106 Info, Node021, Sending (Query) message (Callback ID=0x00, Expected Reply=0x41) - Get Node Protocol Info (Node=21): 0x01, 0x04, 0x00, 0x41, 0x15, 0xaf
2020-05-23 11:13:35.106 Error, Node021, ERROR: Dropping command, expected response not received after 1 attempt(s)
Lots of those timeouts, nodes failing to respond or too slow. That request and similar fail and it’s early enough in the interview process that the remaining queries (e.g. manufacturer info) are skipped.
Also a lot of these:
2020-05-23 11:14:04.123 Detail, CAN received...triggering resend
I believe it means there was a collision in the Z-Wave network, but this is all I know. http://www.openzwave.com/knowledge-base/rfissues
If you are simply swapping software and the USB stick does not change location, it seems strange that it would be an RF issue.
Thanks @x.ha , I tried that but didn’t help 
Thanks @freshcoast, I have 2 RPi (openHAB on RPi 2 and HA on RPi 3) on the same desk and swap the USB stick.
For now I started up openHAB and back
PS: it takes about an hour for my zw network to finish interviewing and come out of “initialising state” (on the main HA lovelace tab) - only then does the zwave graph look mostly connected.
PPS: for the record, I have used the same hardware for IOBROKER, OPENHAB, DOMOTIZ and HOMESEER before HA - the zwave on HS was the best of all (especially the App on the phone that made easy inclusion/ exclustion of nodes - it was truly fantastic), but the rest of the system was not, and all things considered, HA is still the overall best solution for me.
Not the same hardware, was Vera, and FIbaro HC2, again, all worked great for the Zwave, but the overall UI and system was not as flexible as HA, and as an IT person, just was not satisfying.
Thanks @x.ha,
In frustration I today started to hard-reset the Aeotec USB stick and added a few of the devices.
- 2 devices - Philio Technology Corp PAN11-4 Smart Energy Plug In Switch
- 1 device - FIBARO System FGS221 Double Relay Switch 2x1.5kW ( apprears as two devices)
I also have one device currently connected to USB stick which is “Fibaro FGWP101 Metered Wall Plug Switch” but no switch appears on that device
EDIT: The switch appeared and I am hoping being close on track…
