I think I have successfully included the new switch, I see a light entity (light.inovelli_lzw31_sn_dimmer_red_series_level) and a couple of sensors in HA, and it seems to work correctly for a minute (I can control the physical light although it seems slow and buggy) and then the status of “zwave.inovelli_lzw31_sn_dimmer_red_series” changes to “dead” and that’s it.
Does “dead” mean dead, like “fried” or “bricked”?
I’ve excluded, the switch, done a factory reset, re-included the switch several times with essentially the same results. Sometimes the inclusion fails completely but when it works, it works for a minute or two and then dies.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I’d be grateful.
Is the stick new? What is your zwave controller brand? See line 299 of your log.
Dead means the controller can’t reach it, although the device is nit sending back or controller receiving anything. Then “presumed” dead. So not bricked or fried.
It might have to do with ozw 1.4 and secure (S2) inclusion. 1.4 is pretty oldish…
The stick is the Nortek HUSBZB-1. It’s not new, I’ve been using it for zigbee for almost a year but this is the first time I’m trying to implement z-wave.
This seems to be referring to a roller shade from a particular manufacturer. I have no idea what this is. Not something I’m using. Is there a way to figure out what it is and just delete it if it’s causing a problem?
Well, I just installed the z-wave integration to HA and 1.4 is what I got. Should I be upgrading to something newer?
I didn’t think I was using secure inclusion. Line 164 of the log seems to confirm that.
This is saying that it can’t read the Config Param file that I download to: /config/ozwave/config/inovelli/lzw31-sn.xml
In this case, the first /config/ folder is the HA folder that my configuration.yaml is in, correct? Then the /ozwave/config/ folders are those I created to hold the files that I downloaded as per the instructions referenced above: /inovelli/lzw31-sn.xml.
I don’t know what is causing this error. I downloaded the file again and double-checked the location.
Ditto. Having the same problem but have a Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5. It always goes dead after I issue a turn off command to it from HA. It comes back online within HA within a few hours but it keeps happening. The switch is very close to the z-stick.
Also worth mentioning that Eric Inovelli is pretty active on the Home Automation subreddit and will often intervene personally if people have these kind of issues with their devices. They seem to have very good customer support.
