My HomeTroller Zee rebooted last night unexpected and today I now am not able to control any of my devices. It appears a new Zwave Node 0FC54BF5 has been created and that is the Main interface now. My original node 01850B75 is saying there is no interface initialized for this network. Any way to make this the current node now?

OK, that explains that. No, attempting connection to a non-existent interface is pretty much guaranteed to fail.
So it appears that the SmartStick has somehow been reset. I wonder if its going bad. Here are some things you can try.
1) On ZWaveConfig page (Plugins->Manage, click on the Z-Wave link), click on the 'Reset Z-Wave Data' button. Mouse over the button reveals a tooltip that describes what this does.
2) Restore Z-Wave network. If you've added/removed any devices in the past year or so, a backup was automatically created for you. The backup files are located in /usr/local/HomeSeer/Data/Z-Wave/*.ZWave. To restore, go to Plugins->Z-Wave->Controller Management, expand the interface. Under Actions, select 'Restore a Network to this Interface'. The available selections to restore are the *.ZWave files referenced above.

Unfortunately not all controller versions support restore. The SmartStick+ generally does but you may have an older version. In the log, when you enable the Z-Wave plugin, what do you see for Controller Manufacturer and firmware version?

No idea why you're not offered restore option - that firmware version is identical to that of my Z-Net, which has the internal card. What version of the Z-Wave plugin are you running?

The latest official release of the plugin is 3.0.1.252 and the latest beta is 3.0.1.261, so you should probably upgrade it first and try again. Not sure why yours is not showing a later version being available, but take a look lower on that screen in the Lighting & Primary Technology and Beta sections.HS 4.2.8.0: 2134 Devices 1252 Events
Z-Wave 3.0.10.0: 133 Nodes on one Z-Net

I didn't see where I have the option to update the plugin in the sections you indicated. I think because this is an early version of the Zee those plugin fields are not an option and the reason I can't update the plugin. I also recalled an email I got from support several months ago that the original Zee does not allow for individual updates to plugins, which is why I can't move past version .133. I had been planning to combine my home installation with a standard version of HS3 i'm running on a virtual machine with a Z-Net at my office over a VPN. I already took my office Z-Net to the house and used that to get my home network up and have a new Z-Net on order for the office. This problem has just pushed me to do it now as I was getting tired of maintaining two different installs. Plus with the upgrade problems on the original Zee it was time to move on as I've been having issues when adding devices recently. I've been able to recover most of my nodes from the backup on the Zee but the backup was about a year old so not complete. Have entered most of my events and gradually getting it back to normal. I was hoping to get the Zee functioning again to import all the nodes but don't think that will happen. I appreciate your help trying to recover but at this point just going to move on with the migration/combination.
