How can I remove a non-existing Z-wave Node/Device (Success) Topic is solved

Try this tool. Very basic, but it always does the trick.

Thanks! You saved my day. I had the same problem after trying to delete and re-include a faulty device.

Thank you for getting back to me and pointing me in the right direction! (I am not being sarcastic here, Janco did so in a private message)

And this was the best link to the software as this IS the Zensys tool that people are referring to. Thanks! did the trick!

This time, I was happy running Domoticz on a Windows machine. This way, I can easily just install the software and control my Z-Wave stick. I made a backup and removed the node that kept on popping up! Perhaps this tooling helps me controlling the Z-Wave network and devices better.

No it is not the correct address, the tool is from silicon labs.
Here is one link (you will find many on the web)

I am using the older version but principles should remain the same

[Plantje]

Euh.... I was trying to do that as well. And you need to go through that "simplicity studio" stuff to get PC controller 5. Do you see any advantages of PC Controller 5 over 4.78?

[Yann]

I don't know I am not using 5, only using 4.78 and it works very well.

[Plantje]

Yeah, it seems to the trick just fine. I finally got to delete a node that has been there for months! Makes you think about the other Z-wave stuff that doesn't go too well

[DosN]

i have also a node which is not present anymore, using fibaro sensors
i can also not reset de z-wave.me stick of delete the node which is not present anymore
i have the latest beta version of Domoticz

How can i remove the unused node ?

[DosN]

i installed ZWaveController.exe but i see no connection

[Plantje]

Make sure you stop the Domoticz service before starting the tool. Otherwise it looks like there is no Z-Wave stick

[DosN]

I did stop Domoticz , but the tool does not see anything
I start the tool on my win10 system , and the stick is in a pi3.

[madpatrick]

You must use the tool and stick on the same system, so in this case both on the same pc with Win10

[Plantje]

Ah, yes, like that. It looks for a local stick indeed. In case of the Aeotec stick the configuration is stored on the stick itself, so it should be fairly simple to connect it to the Windows machine running the tool

[DosN]

ok yes i see.

i put zwave stick in win pc and start programm
when i want to remove it(press remove icon), i get a pop-up

controller is waiting for teh node info
pres shorty the pushbutton on the node to be excluded from the netwok.

but i haven't the node anymore , so i cannot press the button

[madpatrick]

It is to long ago for me.
I thought you must delete the device and not remove

I'd the same issue and did succeed in removing an old device which i don have anymore

[DosN]

[DosN]

this is what i see

[Plantje]

So, you selected a node, ticked query override, clicked "send NOP", clicked "Node isfailed" and clicked "Remove failed node"?

Or are you unable to get that far?

[DosN]

Hi Plantje
yes it worked , thx . that sequence and the right buttons will removed the node .

[Plantje]

Good to hear!

I have used it quite often the past few days as I am troubleshooting Z-Wave in Domoticz in general.
What it comes down to is basically this: after adding a node, the node and its devices are added and work just fine. But over the coarse of a few days, weeks or months weird things start happening.
I will open a separate topic on this

[DosN]

Yes strange things happoning at open zwave

i have two old fibaro sesnors they work fine, i bough a new one but this one is not working will
i even clammed a new one at the store and same think . some reading are not correct
i checked a open zwave controller (at domoticz) and some sensor values are not correct .
Also some sensor inputs are overright eachother . very strange
