This is product is discontinued and replaced with ZSE70.

What does that mean?

Exclusion is a type of reset, and it's the first thing you should try for any type of inclusion or configuration issue.  

Your Outdoor Motion Sensor doesn't have to be included to your hub for it to be successfully excluded. Just follow these steps to exclude the device: 

  1. Bring the sensor within direct range of your Z-Wave hub
  2. Put your Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (see your controller's manual for details, as each brand is different)
  3. Press and release the tamper switch 3 times quickly
  4. Your hub should confirm exclusion; the sensor is now reset and ready to be paired / included again

Once exclusion is completed, try re-including the sensor to your hub.

If you never received exclusion confirmation or ran into a different issue, here are some other things to try:

  • Try the exclusion process once more. It's possible that the commands just didn't go through the first time.
  • Click the tamper switch 4-5 times quickly and firmly while including it. This will help make sure the commands go through. 
  • If excluding/including from the installation location, try it again in a new place closer to the hub. If the second try is successful, the original spot may be out of range.
  • Try performing hard reset on the unit to see if that helps the problem. 

Having issues adding the sensor as a secure device to Home Assistant?

If the sensor is not pairing with HA in secure mode, please monitor the OZW_Log.txt file and whenever the device appears to fall asleep, quickly tap the tamper button three times to wake it up manually. The process of secure inclusion may take up to 15 minutes (though typically shouldn't take more than a few minutes) so please be patient.

Tried all the above with no luck? General questions about the process? We got you!
