Hi. For the last couple of days I have had some trouble in getting my 3 zwave devices to work. Not done any changes but when i try to start the devices this error message appears “circular reference “\_zwave”” After a power cycle of the homey bridge it works for some time but then the devices stops workig and errors reappear. I have searched not being able to find anything. ---

Maybe you should share some more information. For instance, which Homey you have, firmware version, what brand and type of devices it concerns etc… ---

Same problem - just submitted it to Athom…curious if Athom helped those who previously had this issue and what the fix was? They are telling me a 1-2 week wait time, so I’d like to fix it myself if possible. ---
