While playing with a Z-Wave device I have removed and re-added it a couple of times. Now the real node ID is 18, but I keep getting its “phantom”, obsolete, copies as nodes 14 and 17 in my inbox. This happens every time I run thing discovery. [Screenshot%20from%202018-12-06%2017-17-45] I tried to…

Phew. They’re finally gone, with the help of Zensys tools. What I have done: Stop my OpenHAB service Extract the UZB stick from my Raspberry Pi Spin up a Windows 7 VM in Virtual Box on another machine Insert my UZB stick into an USB port Connect the “Sigma device” to the VM in its device settings I…

Thanks, it looks indeed what I was looking for. But I did what Rich suggested, this doesn’t seem to work. After clicking on “Remove device from controller”, I get an error popup: [Screenshot%20from%202018-12-06%2017-31-48] Then I delete the thing manually as per the advice, but after discovery it…

[image] How to ask a good question / Help Us Help You :nine: Describe your environment What version of openHAB are you using? What snapshot version (if relevant)? Are you Windows, iOS or Linux? If Linux, is it natively or in Docker/Vm? Some categories provide you with a template to fill in: Pl…

I’m facing the same issues that @ncwekjn describes. My only solution was in the end to put up a Domoticz instance and delete the devices using the OpenZWave console there. But that’s very tedious if you have many devices and doesn’t work reliable in all cases.

The Zensys tool (only Windows) is very, very effective in cleaning up old Z-Wave nodes from the Controller (the USB Stick) Even Aeon Labs uses it :slight_smile: Ref: Zensys zwave tool & zwave issues - #17 by 5iver

If it just weren’t Windows… :wink: I don’t even have a copy of it. My computers all come without it.

[image] 5iver: There were issues with the Inbox that have been corrected, but I’ve also had yhis happen on a recent snapshot. It does not look like these nodes are on your controller, so you won’t be able to exclude/remove them. You could try restarting OH and/or clearing the cache, IIRC, mine s…

I have the same issue but I do not have a Z-Wave stick but the RPi (Razberry) module. How to get rid of ghosts there?

[image] Wolfgang_Rosenauer: How to get rid of ghosts there? About 2 weeks ago, @chris made a change to the binding that is supposed to fix the issue with deleting ghost nodes. I haven’t tried it out yet. If you’re running a recent version of the binding, you could try using HABmin to delete t…
