Zwave timeouts?

I am having all sorts of problems with my Z-Wave setup to the extent that I have just done a full reset vi ozwcp to try and resolve the issues.

  1. I am running latest HA in a docker container running on an Ubuntu esxi VM
  2. I have an Aeotec ZStick Gen 5 controller shared with the VM as /dev/ttyACM0 and then shared to the docker container
  3. When I originally set this up - way back everything worked brilliantly, now not so much
  4. at least 50% of the time I am getting errors in the ZWave logs about expected responses not being received:

  1. If I retry the command it will sometimes work sometimes not. I just ran an adddevice which sort of worked but then failed when it tried to do further discovery on the device just added.

Is there some timeout or retry value that I am missing?

I’ve got the same setup and problem. do you have a solution?

Those error messages are exactly as I had. Check my solution (posted above).
