ZWaveError: Failed to initialize the driver: ZWaveError: Timeout while waiting for an ACK from the controller (ZW0200)

[espenthingstad]

Hi

I am running Zwave JS in Home Assistant. I had to roll back to a working backup, but now my Zwave JS integration does not work at all anymore, I am not able to start the Add-On.

Any advice on what to do with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Your stick is unreachable

[espenthingstad]

Okay, is it possible to reach it again or is a factory reset of the stick the only possibility?

[AlCalzone]

This is more of a problem between the stick and zwave-js. Maybe your host is configured incorrectly, maybe the stick just needs to be re-plugged, maybe the path configuration is wrong.

I suggest you seek help on the HA discord, people will be able to help you more hands-on.
