Z-Wave
Problem removing Z-Wave device
I'm trying to remove a Z-Wave device which I accidentally factory reset, a Fibaro smoke sensor.
The solution here does not appear to work anymore, at least for me (firmware 1.5.11).
After waiting for 30 seconds on the removal screen, I simply get the following error message:
vdevice.drivers.zwavebasic.pair.response_timeout
When I do wake up the device during removal, I get this message:
The node has been reset, but was not in this Z-Wave network.
No Homey devices have been removed.
Removal on the Z-Wave settings page has no effect. The dev tools Z-Wave page doesn't seem to have a way to delete devices.
Trying to add the device again fails because Homey says it's already present.
I'm out of ideas, short of resetting the complete Z-Wave network which is obviously something I would like to avoid. Any ideas?

I'm trying to remove the device without actually communicating with it. The issue described seems to be about failures in communication.
I'm not really experiencing issues with pairing myself, so the issue also surprises me.
I'm having the same troubles with 1 of my fibaro wall sockets. It suddenly stopped responding (switches a light). Turn it on/off in software doen't do anything. Switching on the unit works for the light but isn't visible in homey.
When i tried to remove it i also get;
No Homey devices have been removed.
When i try to remove and do nothing, so it should get deleted through time out i also get
When i just change the device name and add the module it does add successfully but i also takes over the old counters and doesn't work either. I can delete this newly added device but not the "old" one.
Did some reboots in the meanwhile but that didn't do it.

The github link you provided seems to be different to our case.
-update
No solution but if i remove the device through the z-wave page it does say removed successfully. However in device's it's still there and i still can't remove it.
Now, after 2 months again I have some dead nodes.
FYI
I had a non responding Neo powerplug. Homey confirmed a successful removal via the z-wave settings menu. However, it was not removed as a device. Now it's just a non existing / controllable device.
Het klopt dat er op dit moment een "bug" in de huidige firmware zit die er voor zorgt dat sommige :offline" z-wave devices niet verwijderd kunnen worden. Dit zal opgelost zijn in versie 2.0.
There is a bug in the current firmware that can make some "offline" node's impossible to delete. Should be fixed in 2.0
