ZWave JS UI no longer sees my zwave stick?

Hardware:

  • Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS
  • Home Assistant 2023.8.1
  • Supervisor 2023.07.1
  • Running Nortek HubZ Zwave/Zigbee stick. Plugged into a 6 foot USB extender routed away from the computer

I upgraded the ZWaveJs UI addon from 1.15.3 to 1.15.4 today. For unrelated reasons after, I rebooted my system and when it came back online none of my Zwave Devices are found. When I look at my Devices and Services the Zwave JS addon has an error that says Failed to connect The address i’m using is ws://a0d7b954-zwavejs2mqtt:3303.

  • I can still load the Zwave JS UI, but no nodes show.
  • The log level is set to silly and I’m not seeing anything obvious wrong
  • I tried turning the machine off and moving the stick to another USB port
  • The Zigbee network is fine, so that leads me to believe it isn’t a hardware issue.
  • If I stop ZwaveJS UI, I can start the ZwaveJS addon just fine. Again, this makes me believe the hardware is fine.
  • I restored the previous version of the addon and rebooted - same issue.
  • I restored the next-previous version - same issue

Without anything in the logs or a useful error, I’m lost on what to do What steps can I take to debug this? I’ve tried to include all relevant info, but please let me know if I’m missing anything that could help.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Edit…hold on. Should the container be exposing a port? Specifically the one I’ve configured (3303)?

OK, I just decided to completely downgrade to 1.15.0 and its working…I’m glad but I don’t like that I don’t know what broke it :confused:

I have seen a few simlar comments and Nortek may be the common denominator.

I experienced the same issue today : after upgrade from 1.15.3 to 1.15.4 no zwave devices available…
I tried to roll back to 1.15.3 but it didn’t help… then I restarted the host. Still the same issue.
I reverted back to 1.15.0 as you did and it still didn’t work…
Only a full restart after downgrade to 1.15.0 made the devices appear again. WTF?
I’m using HomeAssistant OS on a Raspberry Pi 4.
