Removing and re-adding a node that won't update

Hey guys,

I’ve got an Aeon Labs door sensor that’s just stopped reporting any value changes. The LED comes on when I open the door but nothing in HASS. I’ve tried changing the battery and restarting HASS etc but nothing.

So I then tried removing it from my z-wave network but whatever I do that doesn’t seem to work. Is there some way to manually hack it out and then factory reset the sensor, so it can be added again from scratch?

Are you using the Aeotec Window / Door Sensor 6?

If so, I’m having the same issue.

It’s an Aeon/Aeotec ZW120 Door Window Sensor Gen5

I’ve tried again and now it’s stuck in Initializing (Probe)

I am having (probably) the same issue with a Fibaro door sensor. It worked fine for the past 1.5 years until a few days ago, maybe when I upgraded to 0.85 (not proven yet).

Mine was broken before I updated, so don’t think it’s 0.85 that’s the problem

I’m going to try the forcing to failed node state again and see if that works.

Looks like it is just the battery that has died. No big surprise after 1.5 years.

Tried again to remove it by setting is_failed to true and this time it worked!

It re-added without bother so happy days :slight_smile:
