Let's start by excluding the switch. 

It may sound counter-intuitive, but exclusion is just a reset. A device doesn't need to be included to be able to be excluded.

Here's how to do it: 

1. Bring your Z-Wave hub as close to the switch as possible
2. Put your Z-Wave controller into exclusion mode
3. Tap the LOWER paddle 3 times quickly to finalize the exclusion process

If that didn't work, it's possible some of the tips below will help:

• Start by excluding the switch one more time. Maybe the exclusion commands didn't go through initially.

• If possible, try bringing the hub within direct range of the switch if you were at a large distance the first time. If you have a hand-held secondary controller, try using it to include the switch.

• Try the inclusion process again, only this time instead of tapping 3 times, tap the upper paddle 4-5 times as quickly as possible. This can help make sure the commands are registered correctly.

• And if you find that your switch is connected but it's not responded to remote commands, check out these tips for troubleshooting connectivity.
