OVA on ESXi 7, Nortek Zwave stick, latest HA core and OS, 0.1.74 ZWave JS.
All my entities say “this entity is no longer being provided by the zwave_js integration”. They all used to work and stopped at an unknown time. I restored ZWave JS from 3 months ago when it was working, on 0.1.70, but that didn’t fix the problem, then it auto updated yesterday and the nodes came alive. I attempted to open my garage door, and the UI behaved as if it were working but the door didn’t open. Inclusion/exclusion mode doesn’t see any devices, re-interviews and heals either time out or fail. Help? Thanks!
Every so often the usb dongle on my system seems to lock up. My fix is to unplug the dongle, reinsert and then immediately boot the computer. I run a virtual system on ubuntu.
It’s like the dongle loses connection to HA or the virtualbox OS.
Check your USB port forwarding in ESXi. I use Proxmox, and sometimes when I update it my USB ports change hardware IDs, which breaks the passthrough to my HA VM. I change the hardware config for my VM, power it down and back on, then ZWave JS sees the stick again and starts working properly.
I’m fairly sure that HA still sees the controller, because I can go into the Zwave JS config and change it. Wouldn’t I be unable to see it there if there were a problem in the VMware side?
