[SOLVED] Since 2.5.1 stable upgrade Z Wave Controller constantly restarting

[mikeheez (Mike V)]

I’m stuck in an endless loop where my Aeotec Z wave controller keeps restarting. All other devices that aren’t z-wave are working fine. The z-wave devices will work for a few minutes and then they stop working as it reboots. Is the 5000ms timeout the culprit? I searched to see if there is anything similar and followed the instructions for stopping openhab and clearing cache and have done several reboots. Please, any other ideas?

If you upgraded from 2.4 and had restdocs installed that is your problem. That addon got moved and the addon loader is restarting addons every minute trying to load an invalid addon. Remove restdocs from the addons.config file in userdata. You can then install restdocs, It moved from misc to ui.

What error are you getting? Per @Bruce_Osborne, it could be restdocs if you just upgraded to 2.5. For me, it was the legacy 1.x networkupstools binding trying (and failing) to install itself repeatedly.

[SOLVED] ZWave Binding problems since upgrade to OH2.5.0

I ran into the same issue after upgrading to 2.5 and was having a difficult time finding addons.config. If you’re accessing your OH files on a Windows PC via a network drive, it’s in the openhab-share drive: openhab-share\openhab2-userdata\config\org\openhab\addons.config In the addons.config file, I had to remove networkupstools1 from the “binding” line. So, this: binding="network,astro,zwave,networkupstools1,tplinksmarthome,networkupstools" became this: binding="network,astro,zwave,tplink…

Yahooweather also got removed since the service shut down.

always nice when it’s an easy fix

It is documented in the release notes and should have been in the Warnings displayed during a package installation.
