The ZAC38 Range Extender will soon be officially integrated with the new ZWaveJS integration of Home Assistant, so you won't have access to the advanced settings until the integration is finalized. We would recommend updating to the JS integration in order for the ZAC38 to be recognized correctly once integrated.
When you receive your new unit, you can expect to have no response from the device until it has been plugged in. Once it has been plugged in, it will begin to charge ad the LED will begin a slow blinking green, indicating it is ready to be included to the hub. This is the standard behavior for the device when not included to the hub.
Once you initiate inclusion, the LED indicator will change to a rapidly flashing green, which indicates inclusion or exclusion mode on the device.
Here are the steps to add the device to your system:
- Plug the ZAC38 into your desired outlet.
- In Home Assistant: open Configuration > Integrations > Z-Wave JS > Configure.
- Click on Add node.
- Click on Start Inclusion to initiate pairing.
- While the system is in inclusion mode, press the Z-Wave button 3 times very quickly (The LED indicator will start flashing green to confirm inclusion mode and turn green for 2 seconds once inclusion is completed.)
- Home Assistant will confirm a successful inclusion
If you have any issues with including the device, you'll want to try exclusion first. This is simply a hub-based Z-Wave reset for the device.
