Z wave stops working after some time

  • Issue of the topic: After some time my z wave network doesn’t work anymore. I dont see any messages in the log when the sensor states change, I.e. I open a window . When I reboot the system it works again

  • If logs where generated please post these here using code fences:

Those are the only z wave related messages I see

Well that log just shows OH trying to talk to battery devices.
You would need to show the part of the log around the time where your system stops working.
You also fail to mention the OH version and OS you run on and debug settings you used.

PS: you run OH on top OSMC ? Bad idea as that’s an appliance that is likely to interfere with OH.

Yes currently running osmc. At I dont need the media center anymore i wanted to change the OS anyhow. Which one do you recommend for raspberry? Rasbian?

I’ll add the debug settings, I guess I have to change to just zwave logging and wait for the failure to happen again. In the current logs I am not sure if I’ll find the point when zwave stopped

Use the openHABian image, it’s by far the easiest way on the pi

openHABian. Migrate and re-discover your ZWave devices, enable permanent ZWave debugging and see if the problem persists.
