Hello. Fairly new to Home Assistant (had a small system running for over a year now in my boat) and decided to migrate from HomeSeer to HA. Started the HA system from scratch and added a Zigbee stick. This is working great.
On my HS system i had a UZB1 stick that was controlling some lights, sensors and thermostats. I moved this stick over to HA and managed to import all of the nodes and it has been working for about a week now. Have not added anything new lately. The UZB1 stick is connected to the RPI with a 30cm long extension cord to move it a bit up.
Yesterday i needed to try something on another system and needed the extension cord. So i plugged the UZB1 directly into the RPI on the same port. After this my devices started to show unavailable. plugged the cabel back in with the same result.
In the z-wave integration it shows that i have 18 devices and a number of devices that are not ready (lowest number i have seen is 10 not ready. Fluctuates). I have managed to control 1 light out of all the lights that i have available. And that is it.
I have checked the the Z Wave JS add-on has the correct path to the USB device. And same with the integration. I tried rolling my system back to a full backup made 24 hours before this happened. Same result. Today i tried to remove the z-wave add-on and integration and do a new install.
All 18 nodes are shown, but they are not working. 17 are showing not ready. See the pictures below. As you can see the nodes have no other info anymore than the node number!
Anyone have any idea on what to try next? Is there a chance that the UZB1 is faulty?
I have tried to reboot many times. Even by removing the power. Same result.
I installed the UZB1 stick in my computer with the HomeSeer system still installed and here the stick workes perfectly. So there is something wrong with the HA system…
I assume, from the first screenshot, that you are using the zwavejs addon. Since I use the control panel from zwavejs2mqtt I cannot be of much more help.
It’s strange that HS sees the nodes without issue, but yet a working backup of HA can’t. Are you using the same extension cord with HS as you are with HA?
HS user here also. One of the things I’ve learned in my short time with HA is IMO it’s not nearly as fault tolerant as HS. It’s quite fragile in comparison, and thus needs to be handled with more care.
Now that HS runs as a windows service, I can almost do anything to it and it will just chug along without issue. Prior to running as a service, the biggest weakness was improper shutdown could Bork the db.
Are you using any USB3 device plugged into the Raspberry like an SSD? The extension cord was preventing signal interference in that case. Otherwise some logging would be helpful.
So now i tried a complete new installation with a blank SD card. Only installed the Z-Wave JS add-on and integration. Same issue with nodes not starting! Below some of the log from the add-on:

Have you tried the simplest option, putting back the extension cord, even if just for an hour or so? Are mains powered devices close to the controller working without issues? (To rule out a bad mesh)
Yesterday there was a power failure on my area, the UPS hold up as long as it should, then the server started to shutdown on low battery power, so I expected everything to be ok.
However upon power restore and HASS startup I have all wired Z-Wave devices unavailable, just as you did.
I’ve a lot of “Endpoint 1: Trying to access endpoint instance before Multi Channel interview”, “The controller response indicated failure after 2/3 attempts. Scheduling next try in 1100 ms.” and “Dropping message with invalid payload” error messages on the Z_Wave JS log.
I shutdown HASS, removed the AEOTEC USB stick, started HASS, waited for it to finish booting up, shutdown again, plug the zwave stick back, startup, and voilá, everything is fine again.
