Node-red is installed on an RaspberryPi 3+. All works fine, but after an update openzwave failed. So i tried  
to unistall it but i doesen't work. I get the message "openzwave-server is in Use". The nodes are gone.  
Must i reinstall node-red or what can I do?

Thanks for help.

It sounds like there is a configuration node hanging around. I would stat NR in safe mode - from a terminal window use `node-red ---safe` and then you can use the sidebar ![Screen Shot 2020-01-27 at 5.56.14 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/4/3/433470219d03fe71dedae6af86c75b6f7f839ea0.png)  
and select the 'unused' tab  
 ![Screen Shot 2020-01-27 at 5.56.31 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/c/7/c7417d64ab419f23b11be4dd289e56f8bccf592a.png)  
to see if any unused configuratin nodes exist. If so you can delete them and deploy to see if that fixes the issue.

Thanks for your answer. I found an unknown node, delete it and deploy.  
I have uninstalled openzwave and again installed and get these messages;  
27 Jan 14:52:17 - [info] - node-red-contrib-openzwave:zwave-controller : TypeError: require(...).getMac is not a function (line:30)  
27 Jan 14:52:17 - [info] - node-red-contrib-openzwave:zwave-in : TypeError: require(...).getMac is not a function (line:30)  
27 Jan 14:52:17 - [info] - node-red-contrib-openzwave:zwave-out : TypeError: require(...).getMac is not a function (line:30)

27 Jan 15:02:40 - [info] - zwave-in  
27 Jan 15:02:40 - [info] - zwave-out

When i add one of these nodes then deploy failed and the flows are stopped.  
If the nodes were deleted I can depoy it without error.  
So I think the node-red-contrib-openzwave did not work correct or it's my mistake.  
Thank's for help.

So let me see if I understand.

In your original post you said

> So i tried to unistall it but i doesen't work. I get the message "openzwave-server is in Use".

Now you say you uninstalled it and installed it again. How were you successful at uninstalling it?.

Can you export your flow and attach it to a reply (please read [this](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) first)

```

After deploy I get these messages.  
Die Flows wurden aufgrund fehlender Nodetypen gestoppt.

```
zwave-controller
zwave-in
zwave-out

```

Hope this helps.

Did you install the prerequisites?

> This package has one sole dependency: [node-openzwave-shared](https://github.com/OpenZWave/node-openzwave-shared). This is a fork of node-openzwave _that links to OpenZWave as a shared library_ , therefore you _need to have the OpenZWave library installed in your system beforehand_ , using the operating system's package manager, or by compiling OpenZWave yourself.

Node openzwave -shared was installed. I found the solution in the forum. In 10-zwave.js I have line 30-34 by  
var gm = require('getmac'); UUIDPREFIX = gm.default().replace(/:/gi, ''); replaced.  
Everything works again.

Thanks!

Probably worth reporting as an issue to the node owner on github - as it does seem to be being patched recently.
