ZwaveJS - driver issue with Aeotec USB stick?

Configuration Z-Wave
1

VMware instance of HA. Aeotec dongle. Moving from zwave to the new JS Zwave.
Network key used to be null. Tried with null and a new key. Doesn’t use secure at all in my home.
But can’t get it to run.
Tried restarting the host (server, windows 10).

Any tips are really appreciated.

My usb stick was sleeping, no blinking. Reconnected it physically and then connected it to the vm. Now something is happening, hopefully good things :slight_smile:

This worked for me also. Same error. Unplugging - replugging worked.
