Not sure where to post this, sorry if its the wrong place.
But after the update to HA core-2022.3.0 the Entity of my Z-Stick Gen 5 Plus is gone.
Entity “sensor.aeotec_zstick_gen5_node_status” is missing.
Is there any way to get the entity back? The other Z-wave entities are all still available.
it is gone (taken out) on purpose, and you shouldn’t see it anymore
see: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/67613#issuecomment-1058972852
Thanks for the link. did not know. To bad, i would like to see the status of all Z_wave things in an overview…
(reinstalled my whole network yesterday haha oops)
well, the idea behind this is if your devices are working the Stick is working too 
That entity didn’t tell you any information, which is why it was removed. A controller’s status is always “alive” because the attribute only applies to nodes included in the network, not the connected controller.
Perhaps in the future the entity can be re-introduced when/if the driver (node-zwave-js) provides controller status information.
FYI, this was mentioned in the release notes under breaking changes for Z-Wave JS.
Your Z-Wave controllers will no longer get a node status sensor. While this is technically a breaking change, in practice it should not be because the controller is always alive.
