ZWave issues and solution

Configuration Z-Wave
1

For information.

Yesterday up to 50 of my 66 Zwave devices stopped working. Re-interviewing or update routes did not work (immediately). Most of the devices indicated that they were being re-interviewed but apparently because the number of devices no improvement showed.
I remembered that this happened many months ago and it seems that one switch causes the problem. I resolved it then by removing that device from the wall and installing it again.
This time, this morning, I cut the power to the room where the device is, and voila slowly all the devices were restored. I have no idea why that specific switch (Zooz Zen 71) but everything works again.

Are you using ZWaveJS OR ZWaveJSUI?
If you have both apps/add-ons installed, that is the problem.

It is a good question. I know that I have Zwave JS UI:

but the left side menu on HA shows ZWave JS:

I do not see ZWave Js anywhere else

In ZWave JS IU it shows:
zwave-js-ui: 11.8.2
zwave-js: 15.17.1
home id: 4215020659
home hex: 0xfb3c1c73

If I have ZWave JS, how do I remove it ?

Go to the Z-Wave integration settings page and see with the Server URL is. If it says a0d7b954-zwavejs2mqtt then you are using Z-Wave JS UI.

You can check the add-ons store page to also see which add-ons are installed.

I am not sure about this. While ZWave JS appears in my Sidebar, it does NOT appear in my Add-Ons. Only ZWave JS UI shows in my add-ons. Furthermore in the configuration of the ZWave Integration it appears that I am using ZWave JS UI. So the question (and my mystery) is why it shows ZWave JS in the Sidebar ?

Because that’s the panel the Z-Wave JS UI add-on installs. There is not a UI for Z-Wave JS core add-on.

Thanks. As I posted just now, the ZWave configuration shows that I am using ZWvae JS UI, but I wonder why it shows ZWave JS in the Sidebar and a very similar but different page opens when clicking on ZWave JS in the Sidebar and the info is:

{A1C39D1E-F287-470C-ACDE-6D26F14B75C1}
{A1C39D1E-F287-470C-ACDE-6D26F14B75C1}403×221 9.92 KB

There is NO ZWave JS in the Add-Ons, only ZWave JS UI

Hi,
Sometimes zwave devices go bad and can mess up the whole mesh. It looks like you found the culprit and I would replace it. IMO that is more likely the issue than something wrong on the zwave controller as that still talks to all your other devices.
Cheers Rene
