Z-Wave JS and Z-Stick gen5 sudden timeout problems

[kris]

Hi.
I've been using Z-wave JS since September of this year. It's been working great. I run it as a docker container and connected to a Aeotec Z-stick gen5.
All of a sudden it has stopped working. No changes, updates or nothing.

I get these messages in the logs and Zwave JS UI and the whole Z-wave network is disconnected.

Code: Select all

Driver: Recovering unresponsive controller failed. Restarting the driver... (ZW0100)
Driver: Failed to initialize the driver: ZWaveError: Timeout while waiting for an ACK from the controller (ZW0200) at Driver.sendMessage (/usr/src/app/node_modules/zwave-js/src/lib/driver/Driver.ts:4981:23) at ZWaveController.identify (/usr/src/app/node_modules/zwave-js/src/lib/controller/Controller.ts:897:37) at Driver.initializeControllerAndNodes (/usr/src/app/node_modules/zwave-js/src/lib/driver/Driver.ts:1371:26) at Immediate.<anonymous> (/usr/src/app/node_modules/zwave-js/src/lib/driver/Driver.ts:1165:16) (ZW0100)

What do I do? I have read a couple of threads (on Home Assistant forums and on GitHub) but can't figure out what is happening.
I have tried to change power supply for the Pi and also tried adding a powered USB-hub for the stick but no change.

I would first plug it into a PC with zensys tools installed for a quick check that the hardware is functional.

The Z-stick hardware is working. I also tried with a second spare Z-Stick gen5 and still have the same problem..

wild guess, but please change the power supply for your raspberry pi and make sure it has enough power (Amps)
Assuming you use docker compose, and specified the serial-by-id?
Are there more USB devices connected?

if you connect the device, what do you see when you issue

ls -al /dev/serial/by-id

If you are using docker compose, you specified /dev/serial/by-id/<id> as serial device?

It was the power supply. One of the first things I thought of in the first post. I found a 3A one and now everything is playing nice again.

Thanks!
