It started to display incorrectly in Z-Wave JS UI, so I removed it, did a factory reset and try to include it with Smart Start. I use Home Assistant Connect ZWA-2. Tried to add a few times, logs:

Try excluding it once more. Even though it already is

I tried it, enabled exlusion on Shelly with S button, but JS-UI said no devices to exclude found. But after 2 more Shelly factory resets it was found and added, but JS-UI said "Node 276 added with security None (Unknown)". Now I see it in JS-UI as Unknown manufacturer 0xXXXX. In Smart Start I added it as LR, S2 Access Control off, S2 Authenticated on and DSK (the same when I added first time after it worked for 2 months). Inclusion log:

I tried it to exlude, reset and add one more time - failed.

Will probably require driver debug logs: https://zwave-js.github.io/zwave-js-ui/#/troubleshooting/generating-logs?id=driver-logs

I had debug enabled, log is here - https://paste.centos.org/view/dcbf2d9d

In that instance looks like the failure is somewhere in the controller, doesn't even make it far enough for Z-Wave JS to do anything. You might try unplugging/re-plugging the controller.

tried it, but will try once more. Did not help. I use wifi firmware for the ZWA-2. - could it be the problem?

#

I used standard firmware when I added Shelly device the first time.

proven forge Jan 25, 2026, 9:33 PM

#

tried with another Power adapter - did not help.

Same error?

proven forge Jan 26, 2026, 8:58 PM

#

yes, similar, I can upload new debug logs if needed

#

will probably try with standard firmware if there are no more suggestions

Not sure what's going on in your house, but this is significant noise:

measured noise floor:                  -65 dBm
measured noise floor by destination:   -67 dBm

#

like significant SIGNIFICANT

#

that's around 45 dBm higher than it should be, or over 30000x

#

and even right before you started joining the device it was already bad:

channel 0: -87 dBm
channel 1: -89 dBm
channel 2: -89 dBm
channel 3: -82 dBm

There is ambulance station about 500m away, which caused problems before - could be it?

Today I was able to provision the device. Could you please tell if the noise is still bad here? The new log - https://paste.centos.org/view/7038014c

A few spot checks tell me it's still not great:

measured noise floor by destination:   -72 dBm

measured noise floor:                  -75 dBm

channel 0: -106 dBm
channel 1: -108 dBm
channel 2: -108 dBm
channel 3: -82 dBm
