Virtual Box HA on Mac moved to Windows - ZWave stoped working

[BartekSt]

I’m currently running HA in Virtual Box on Mac. This is working fine and I can control Z-wave devices.

I tried to take a hassos_ova.vdi Virtual Box disk backup on the Mac and moved it to the Virtual box on Windows. The Z-wave USB stick Aeotec 5 is used as a controller which is also moved over to the Windows host.

HA boots up without issues but the Z-wave is no longer working. The Z-Wave JS is used as integration. The /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00 can be found in the HA HW settings on the windows host. I have only one device included with security.

Does anyone know what can be the issue? Since the Aetoec USB stick saves all the devices locally I thought this would work

Thanks in advance!

I get the following in the logs below:

Just making sure, the Z-Wave controller is visible in the Supervisor hardware information? Is the node battery or mains powered? Maybe the following thread can help out?

ZWave JS not connecting to battery powered devices

My problem is that almost all my battery powered devices show up but without any information or enteties. Two of the battery powered devices and all with wired power show up fine. Background: I migrated from legacy 1.4 Zwave to ZwaveJS2MQTT a month ago running a docker container inside Hassio. Im using a Raspberry pi with HA core-2021.2.3 and an Aeotec gen 5+ Zwave USB dongle. My setup was running fine with 17 devices. I migrated yesterday to Zwave JS add-on and integration. Mostly for the mor…

Hi!, thanks for replying. Yes the /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00 can be found in the HA Supervisor in HW settings on the windows host.

According to the log it almost sounds like it has something to do with the security when using Z-wave devices paired with security enabled.

Everything works perfectly when I move back the Z-Wave USB stick to the Virtual Box on Mac.

What type of node is using security? If it’s battery operated does waking it up like the other post suggested help anything at all? Does it help reconfiguring the add-on with your network key from the Mac to the Windows machine? (I know you used a backup which should include the correct info, just making sure there’s nothing wrong in the backup)
