ZwaveJS Inclusion/Exclusion not Working

Configuration
1

Hi Community,

I just tried to add a Jasco Dimmer and it was detected, but threw a warning about the device not responding to the security model. It added and was working, but after a restart, the device disappeared from HA. I went to try an exclude it, but nothing happens. I decided to try adding it again and now it doesn’t find any devices. In fact, it won’t find any device. The Zwave network is still functioning, but when I go to the configuration page, it says “ZWave JS is searching for devices”. Clicking on stop doesn’t do anything. It seems that I cannot include or exclude anything. I’ve tried restarts. When I click on stop searching, I see this in the logs:

Does anyone have a suggestion?

If it is not finding any devices, it could be because the ZStick needs a restart. I do this by stopping ZWaveJS2MQTT, unplugging the ZStick, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in and restart ZWaveJS2MQTT.
