[SOLVED] Z-wave, Hard reset controller - can't find any nodes

[EdgeSystems (Niclas Larsson)]

Wanted to start over so did a hard reset on my controller (“serial_zstick” for pine64), the controller connects fine but can’t find any nodes at all.

I get some errors in the log:
“Neither inclusion nor exclusion was active!”
and
“NODE 255: Timeout while sending message. Requeing = X…”

(tried both beta4 and online installer)

This guy seems to have a similar problem:

Inclusion of an existing z-wave network

Hi, after a long and hard way to get OH and HABmin in operation I want to operate my old existing z-wave network. Up to now it was running with Zway which was installed on my Razberry. Now I want to include this existing network into OH. But HABmin shows no devices in the zwave binding. Do I make a mistake? Within the zwave log I found some errors: The start seems to be ok: 2016-03-08 20:50:40.129 DEBUG o.o.b.z.i.ZWaveActivator[:36]- Z-Wave binding started. Version 1.8.1 2016-03-08 20:50:4…

Also tried with a new pine64 + “serial_zstick”.

Some debug (high power now was network wide before, node 3 m away):

Solved it by resetting the switches/dimmers to.

1. Put the controller in exclude mode (controller > settings > exclude mode > send, hit save)
2. Wait until the controller says connected
3. Qubino - hold S button for more than 6 sec (or flick the shit of the switch).
