Z-Wave error 8: The driver is not ready or has been destroyed

Um…huh?

No changes made here, and suddenly this evening google has no idea how to manage zwave devices and any attempts to call services for zwave devices from the UI results in this weird error that I’ve never seen before.

Failed to call service light/turn_off. Z-Wave error 8: The driver is not ready or has been destroyed

Okay, hold up…there’s a new release and there’s a new ZWave update for the add-on that I didn’t see.

This raises a point that I’ve noticed in the past, however. It seems that in multiple instances, when there’s an update to an add-on or an update to something, whatever the update is for ends up breaking until the update has been applied.

I’m suspecting this is the case in this instance.
