Since Update z-Wave JS to 0.4.2 and Core to 2023.12.0 Z-Wave and Zigbee do not work

I upgraded to HAOS 11.2 some Weeks ago, i remember.


HAOS 11.2 is the running system. From the Terminal i got the information you can see in the screenshot. Is this the information you wanted? I’m not sure about this.

I had it all tried, but no change. These were the first things i’ve done.

Is the device you’re having problems with battery powered or AC powered (connected to an outlet)?

I’ve the Problem with all z-wave an zigbee devices. About 60 pcs. from these are about 30 ac-powerd and the other 30 are battery-powered. The Problem must be somewhere in the server. (RPi3B+) The deConz-mudul is runnig, ican see the zigbee-devices inside the deConz. But there is no communikation to them. The z-wave-dongle isn’t working at all. I think it can’t find the right usb-port or the communikation is blended with the zigbee-stick (Conbee II) and both don’t work.

Since dmesg contains a lot of information and is rather long (and usb events are seldom at the beginning which is what you have captured), the reason I suggested plugging in your stick and then going to the bottom of the dmesg output, is that it makes it easier to see the usb events for that particular usb device.

Ah, sorry. I dont came to the bottom with “G”. Now i used the down-arrow. There ist something with usb: Unable to enumerate USB device. A new screenshot is attached.

I have seen this from another Forum user. The Linux kernel/usb driver is unable to read this particular USB stick properly. It is most likely due to the upgrade in the linux version when HAOS 11.2 came out. I recommend posting an issue on this. You can create your own issue or add this screenshot and some comments to this issue.

Thanks for your information. I added the screenshot to the existing issue.

I was able to resolve my issue by restoring to the point before the update, everything back to normal.

I have restored a Backup on a new downloaded HAOS but the OS version is still 11.2. So nothing changes. Can I get somewhere an older Version of the OS?

Has somebody else an idea? I can’t use the most of my devices. Will there be a solution with the next Update? When?

Until this issue i was very satisfied with HA and the RPi because it ran stable and reliable. But if it doesn’t work here any more i must try something else. Can it make sense to buy a HA Green? Can i restore there a Backup from the Rpis HAOS? Or do all devices need to be reconnectet? It would take days because the most are difficult to reach.

When HAOS 11.2 came out, it came out with an updated linux kernel version and it is plausible that the new kernel version has a bug in it for certain USB devices (not sure of course), so hopefully the issue raised on github will get some attention (but if its a linux kernel bug, its less of an HA issue and more of a linux kernel issue).

You may want to get into the HA CLI and try: ha os update --version 11.1

The “update” to version 11.1 has worked. The z-wave devices are working again. Unfortunately, the Zigbee devices are still not accessible. In deConz and Phoscon, the devices are displayed and also provide data. But these datas are not available in Home Assistant.

Here two screenshots:


I don’t have deConz or Phoscon to help out with this, but perhaps restarting everything may get it to work again.

Same here… took an update NOTHING will work… Z-Wave JS WILL NOT connect. HA sees the USB port. tried new keys- old keys- backups- reboots- reflash the Z- stick. NOTHING… I cannot get Z-Wave JS to connect. 2 weeks now of trying. This sucks

This Post from wmaker helped me by getting z-wave back to work. Maybe its a solution for you? My zigbee-stick is still not working.

I have now started again and proceeded as follows: Download new HA OS for the RPi3, restore a full data backup from 11/23/2023 then back to the old version 11.1 (thanks wmaker!) Then activated z-wave JS. After that everything ran as before, including deConz / Phoscon. I did lose some logged data, but that’s not so bad. However, I will not update to version 11.2 for the time being.
Have many thanks for your help.

Hello jmmorgado,
now i had some more time to spend on it. Look at the solution, maybe it can help you.
