Are you running a re-interview or command on a battery operated device perhaps? It’s best to manually wake the device to deliver commands and re-interviews. In such cases you can safely ignore these kind of messages. Otherwise it seems like a bad route to the device it’s trying to reach. (Either due to a bad path or signal strength)

Hi Rick,

thanks for taking the time to respond. Nothing special running here. Did not re-interview and device. What device do you think “it” (what is it?) trying to reach?

the latest logs as it’s always doing this…

“Failed to execute command on controller” mean zwavejs could not connect to Zwave controller I believe

Is usb disconnecting?

I read NUT sensor can cause some condition that halts usb to controller but I not sure?

It look like it’s temporary condition but happen often. I have same issue and eventually crash and process restart. I think for you this will cause slow network correct?

whats that?

how can I troubleshoot that?

Hm… not sure… I have not noticed that. Only when I switch of a lot sometimes it lags a bit… (1s).

No clue

Having same issue with controller errors
Just giving info in hopes you get somewhere

do you passthrough your usb via esx?

Are you using Z-WaveJS or Z-WaveJS2MQTT addon? Any other USB devices and/or addons using USB devices on your system? It seems very consistent behavior, nearly each exact minute.

Hi Rick,

How is the DSMR being read? Do you run an addon, implement it in your configuration/integrations, other options? Would it be possible to temporarily disable the DSMR component for like 5 or 10 minutes to see if it resolves the Z-Wave controller messages? It looks like it’s performing some sort of USB reload/lock every 60 seconds.

Via a USB “slimme meter kabel”, nowadays via an official integration:

I see there’s an update as well today:

I will disable the slimme meter USB for a while and observe.

did you migrate from some other zwave solution? i remember having this when moving between zwave js and mqtt and other fiddling.
now running the mqtt addin with normal zwave js integration and i dont have the errors since long.
So somehow a conflict on usb concurrent driver usage might be underlying. Whats your setup (OS etc)

image

the stick used to be connected to the deprecated OZW (beta) but I moved about a week or 2/3 to ZwaveJS and observed this disconnect behavior lately. I have not other zwave related stuff anymore in my homeassistant instance.

Disable for about 1hr… no difference:

Hi, is there any other thing I can do to get rid if these disconnects?

EDIT: created an issue:

Maybe it’s something with the hypervisor you’re running on? I see you mentioning ESXi, what version? There are quite some issues with v7.0 Update 3x. As you’re running in a VM environment, can you double check the console to see any dmesg logging about USB (re)connection? If so, please also check the same on your host to see if maybe your hardware is starting to fail.

Otherwise I’m all out of ideas and I’ll continue to monitor the conversation/issue created for future references.

6.7. u3 I run (if it ain’t broken don’t fix… well it might be actually :-))

I can get the dmesg log via the ssh SSH & Web Terminal addon but cannot copy.paste it… tips?

via the ESXi host I can get it… but I do not wish to share publicly…

Just wondering if you see your Z-Wave USB device triggering the logs every X seconds. Don’t need to actually see the logs :slight_smile: Should you ever need to paste long texts you can use Pastebin. (Web service)

Hi Rick, not sure how I can see that in the logs. I do not now how to look that up in linux…

Some more info. I investigated the homeassitant host, the hypervisor host ans discovered some weird errors. I google them and saw some hits but no solution. And all on esxi 6.5 and 7. I have 6.7

Preventive rebooted the ESXi host which had been running for 364 days :-).

But still errors in homeassitant.

Below errors were in esxi before reboot. Now gone in esxi.

I have this host (6.7u3) running for over 2 years now with usb passed trough all the time:

Never had issues… even with OZW Beta. Until now with ZwaveJs I see the disconnects…
I do see some topics about 6.5:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2147650

But none of them clearly mention 6.7, only 6.5

I do not “dare” to execute the command esxcli system module set -m=vmkusb -e=FALSE on my 6.7 machine since I might get into worse troubles then.

Any advise?
