Hey there - Home Assistant just annoyed me for the last time with respect to it's utter disdain for people that just want to use it as opposed to spend every waking minute maintaining it's ludicrously complicated infrastructure... Absolutely my fault for not reading the breaking changes notes but I didn't think they would kill a working Z-Wave implementation and require a migration to a new Z-wave setup - but they did. The automigration didn't work and the fractured state of Homeassistant install types means finding accurate documentation is near impossible.

With that off my chest, I have for sale all my Z-Wave gear, most of it never installed. 7 unused dimmers, 3 used dimmers, 1 used controller, 1 used multisensor and 1 used smart plug. All devices are the correct NZ frequency. (921.42Mhz)

Z-Wave itself seemed really reliable and I loved the way all the devices acted as repeaters for each other.

10 x Aeotec nano dimmers (ZW111-B). (7 NIB, 3 used)

1 x Aeotec Z-Stick Gen 5 (ZW090-B)

1 x Aeotec Smart Switch (2nd edition) (DSC24-ZWAU)

1 x Aeotec MultiSensor 6 (ZW100-B)

Looking for $1000 for the lot.

Are you migrating to something else, or going back to ye olde non smart devices?

I might have been interested but my Zwave gear is still largely in a box, and the ones I have installed I don't trust long term because of the HA reliance and the behaviour you have noted.

For the time being I am going to rely on some horrible wifi cloud service tied switches for just a couple of lights and my electric blanket so I can say "Alexa, turn off the electric blanket" and "Alexa, turn off the bedroom light" without having to put a single finger outside of the lovely warm bed...

The Zwave gear itself was great - but HomeAssistant is a dumpster fire for reliability and maintainability.
