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.
As mentioned, continue_on_error is a bit of a life saver on this.
It seems there are some issues with ZWave at the moment, and unfortuantely it looks like it may be an issue with the SiLabs SDK, something ZWave JS can’t really do much about, other than monitor for locks and compensate for them within code.
I hope SiLAbs sort this out soon, and then of course the firmware get rolled out to the ZWave sticks
This was extremely helpful - thank you! Additionally, I created a script that executes retries for z-wave actions that error out. So instead of calling the action on the device directly, I call the script and it takes care of my error handling. I am very new to HA so finding it very fun to be creative.
