We were informed by Silicon Labs that 700/800 series controllers have a hardware watchdog that can reset the controller when it becomes unresponsive. This feature is now enabled by default in Z-Wave JS and should prevent the controller from hanging indefinitely.

In case this causes new issues, the feature can be disabled by setting the environment variable ZWAVEJS_DISABLE_WATCHDOG to any non-empty value, or by setting the driver option features.watchdog to false.

Please let us know if this actually helps or not.
