I moved some zwave switches to HA lately and things were working just fine, then I realized a couple days ago that my automations are lagging and I can no longer control my devices when I tried to turn them on/off.
I tried to heal the network but it never got completed. I restarted the hub many times.
I would appreciate if someone can help me.

zwave_js_server.exceptions.FailedZWaveCommand: Z-Wave error 16: Timeout while waiting for an ACK from the controller
I’ve noticed a heal won’t complete until all battery powered devices are awake. Do you have any battery powered devices? If so try pressing a button on them to wake them so they can participate in updating the neighbors for the heal to complete.
Pretty sure that error actually means that ZWaveJS cannot talk to the controller - check that you used the /dev/serial/by-id/ path and not just /dev/tty-whatever, without having any more information, I’d guess the machine rebooted and now the serial port you told ZWaveJS to use has changed it’s name so ZWaveJS can’t talk to the stick at all.
That’s definitely a possibility. Also agree you definitely want the by-id path vs tty.
If the addon can’t talk to the controller though, the zwavejs addon usually won’t even start. Does the addon startup and run ok? Generally if it’s an issue talking to the controller you would see logs like in this post Increasing instability in zwave.js?
The logs posted are the homeassistant logs. Any additional logs from the zwavejs addon itself? Its still possible the zstick is just stuck on healing or something else and can’t move forward with new commands.
I wouldn’t expect a message not being able to make it to the destination to generate a full stack trace though? It’s not saying that it didn’t get an ACK from the end device, it’s saying it didn’t get an ACK from the controller itself. That suggests communication has completely stopped. I remember back when people were transitioning to JS from the old ZWave there were people reporting similar issues - and it was finally narrowed down to the USB port not actually providing a stable enough voltage, and people were advised to move to a powered USB hub.
Also is this zwavejs2mqtt or the “official” addon?
Get better logs from Integrations → Configure on ZwaveJS → Logs tab and set it to Silly and post the logs. Use the download button to download the log.
So I ended up updating the HA core server and after that the issue no longer showed. I am not a big fan of upgrading to fix but I had to do this one since I needed the automation to work.
