Z-Wave error terminating automation

I think I have a couple things going on, so trying a post here first. I have an automation that adjusts lights over time as well as a bunch of other things that executes at bedtime. I am occasionally getting a Z-Wave error while the automation is running and this causes the whole thing to terminate. I am new to Home Assistant (coming over from Homeseer) and this Z-Wave network has been running stably for quite a while on that other platform. It uses a SmartStick G8 with 7.22.2 FW. Here is the error that I got last night:

Error: Unable to set value 70-38-0-targetValue: zwave_error: Z-Wave error 202 - Failed to send the command after 1 attempts (ZW0202)

Not having one device turn off is not the biggest deal, but the automating stopping because of it is. Of course, I’d like to troubleshoot both issues. I also find it interesting that there are no retries and only 1 attempt. But again, I am new here. Any thoughts would be very helpful - thank you!

I am having issues with Z-Wave error 202 too. But then with power plugs and dimmers. I never had these before. My Z-Wave network used to be rock solid.

What kind of controller do you use? And do you use ZWaveJS UI of just ZwaveJS add-on? I am not sure it’s a software issue. Before I always used ZwaveJS and switched to ZWaveJS UI not too long ago and now have problems.

add continue_on_error to the step (yaml only).
