Unknown node keeps popping up

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I have a strange node in my Zwave config which I want to remove. This Node shows up as “Unknown Node 5 (Node:5 Probe)”. If I set it’s state to failed I can remove it, but as soon as Homeassistant restarts it will pop up again.

As far as I know I do not have any additional Zwave devices in the neighborhood except for the ones which are already present in Homeassistant.

Anyone got a clue on why this is happening and how I can remove that node permanently?

Was this an old node which was previously included?

3

I tend to say no, but I had some issues with Zwave in the past which led me to completely reset my config…

4

What zwave “integration” do you use?

5

The legacy one (not the OpenZwave)

6

Ah ok, that’s not my area of expertise. But I think that is also openzwave (1.4)?

7

It might be worth looking at the zwcfg_xxxxxxxxxx.xml file in your HA config directory - there might be something in the node config that gives you a clue as to what type of device is creating the node.

8

To be clear.
If you want to get rid of this with your set up (later setups move the config into .storage)
You may have success with what @EKC suggests
BUT be careful

Stop home assistant before messing with that file, make a back up before you start and read up on what people say you should do.
I think there’s a few threads explaining it.
