Migrated a c8 to c8 pro via backup, trying to enable ZWaveJS gives the error “ ZWaveJS installation is invalid” using the api endpoint for forceInstall gives “ ZWaveJS installation failed”
Any thing else I can try?

Seems to be a trend:
Did you try the Z-WaveJS button on the Z-Wave Details page first, and that failed?
Then, just to confirm...tried below and it failed?
yourhubIPaddress/hub/zwave2/forceInstallZWaveJS
Have you tried shutting down your hub/wait for red LED/pull power/wait 30s/restore power and try the endpoint(s) again?
Yes, the button on the details page yields “ZWaveJS installation is invalid” then trying forceInstallZWaveJS returns “ ZWaveJS installation is invalid”
Trying the power down now.
Forgot to ask...what hub platform version are you on?
And there is also a force enable endpoint...
yourhubIPaddress/hub/zwave2/forceEnable
But since enable via the button and the install failed that likely will fail as well.
Tagging @bcopeland & @bobbyD.
Could also try
/hub/zwave2/cleanInstallZWaveJS
2.4.3.158
Same results with the power down and retry
this returned “OK” but the switch to ZWaveJS button still returns “ ZWaveJS installation is invalid”
May need to reboot and then wait a few minutes before trying again.
No luck, same errors after running cleanInstallZWaveJS, rebooting, and trying again
At this point this is about as much of a trend as hitting the Powerball twice. We know it could happen.
@bgermain1689 please send a message to @support_team along with your hub id so we can check to see what happened.
actually, there were two in the thread I referenced, and this one, makes 3
I'd say the odds of ZWJS doing something weird is a little less than hitting Powerball twice.
thanks, done.
Fix is coming.. In the meantime you can use:
/hub/zwave2/cleanInstallZWaveJS
I had the same issue with not being able to switch to ZWaveJS on a C8 Pro running 2.4.3.158 (just upgraded from 2.4.0.150 earlier today if that makes a difference). Ran /hub/zwave2/cleanInstallZWaveJS which returned "OK", then did a manual reboot. Was then able to switch to ZWaveJS which initiated an automatic reboot and after that all appears to be switched over.
Sounds like victory is yours.
