I ask myself what happens if you inlcude and exclude a lot of devices several times to/from the Network. From what I have seen so far (using an Aoenlabs Gen5 USB-Stick) the same device gets a new (higher) number in the moment of reinclusion so that the original node number remains an unused “orphan”…

Z-Wave-Network: What happens when node numbers increase > 232/255?

I believe that when the stick reaches the limit (232, not 255) it will start using unused node numbers starting at 1.
