Describe the issue

What is happening?
I updated my Aeotec ZWave Plug via Home Assistant Update entity. When it came back up after successful upgrade, all existing entities were unavailable and new entities suffixed with “_2” had been created.

What did you expect to happen instead?
Existing entities should still have been active

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on update notification in Home Assistant and choose “Install”

Anything else we should know?

Software versions

Driver (node-zwave-js): 12.12.4

Z-Wave JS UI: 9.14.6

Home Assistant Z-Wave Integration: 2024.7.2

If you are using something non-standard, tell us here: ZWave-js-ui running in docker

Device information

Manufacturer: Aeotec
Model name: Smart Switch 7

Checklist

• I made sure to provide a driver log on level debug.

• The log includes a re-interview of the problematic device (if applicable).

👋 Hey @barndawgie!

Thanks for opening an issue! It doesn't look like you provided a logfile though. While not strictly necessary for every issue, having a driver log on loglevel debug is required to diagnose most issues.

Please consider uploading a logfile that captures your problem. As a reminder, here's how to create one:

• Z-Wave JS UI
• Home Assistant Z-Wave Integration
• ioBroker.zwave2 Adapter

I can't reproduce the issue (since the device is already updated) so not sure a log file would be helpful.

I couldn't get a log of this happening, but Device Diagnostics are attached and you can see the new, "_2" entities that were created.

Is there a way to delete the device in Home Assistant an force it to be recreated?

It looks like the old values reference endpoint 0 while the new ones reference endpoint 1. To know why, please make a driver log of a re-interview, loglevel debug and attach it here as a file (drag & drop into the text field).

@AlCalzone - Thanks for getting back to me. Driver Log is attached.
