Struggling to provision nodes in OpenZWave 1.6.1789

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I am in the process of (hopefully) pulling away from Smartthings using the official HASS.IO distro for Raspberry Pi 4 (4Gb version). My first approach was to integrate all wifi/web-based IOT items into HASS and that was successful. I run a number of z-wave and zigbee devices as well so my next step was to move over some basic z-wave devices (simple and common toggle-switches) to see how that went. Well, it hasn’t. I am using a Zooz USB dongle and OpenZWave 1.6. I can successfully add nodes of various manufactures, but they never get fully provisioned. All get through the initial communication put fail on the final probe. Have tried a mix of GE, Lutron and Levitron devices, all to the same end. Any thoghts or should I stop banging my head against the wall and use some other z-wave add-in (ZWave JS?)? I have included an example of the final attempts and the result:

To add additional info. I uninstalled mosquito, MQTT, and openzwave. Installed zwave js and am still not able to fully provision my devices. Looks like the system is attempting to ping the devices and they are either not responding, or are not responding quick enough and are assumed to be dead

16:38:47.373 CNTRLR [Node 014] Beginning interview - last completed stage: ProtocolInfo
16:38:47.374 CNTRLR » [Node 014] pinging the node…
16:38:55.646 CNTRLR [Node 014] Node 14 did not respond after 1 attempts, it is presumed dead
16:38:55.648 CNTRLR [Node 014] The node is dead.

Full reload of the HASSIO image did not rectify the situation. Looks like it may have been a bad USB dongle or the Zooz dongle is not properly supported in the latest version of HASSIO or ZWave JS. Changed to the GoControl HUSBZB-1 and the devices that were not being provisioned with the Zooz dongle have no problem with the GoControl dongle.

Yeah, I was going to chime in and suggest that you change to a different coordinator as the Zooz has always been a problematic device. The Aeotec stick, from what I’ve read is better than both the Zooz and Nortek sticks. Personally, I’ve been using the Nortek stick for years with very few issues (aside from the Zigbee radio going south in it). The Z-Wave radio though is still going strong.
