After installing latest stable FW 2 days ago my z-wave units became sluggish. So I rebooted the Homey2023.  
Now most of my z-wave units gets invalid node ID.  
Anyone have a way to fix this?  
Some threads here suggests a factory reset and a restore from latest backup.

All Zwave Devices: Error with Invalid Not ID …

I tried that with no success.  
I had to re-add the devices manually.  
Fortunately it was only a few, not all got invalid ID.
