If you're having issues adding your device, exclusion is always the first thing to try.
"Exclusion" is the general term we use for removing or unpairing a device from your system. Different hubs and brands will use different words for the same process, even though it's just a reset. A device doesn't need to be included to your system to be able to be excluded. Here's how to do it:
- Bring your Z-Wave hub as close to the RGBW Dimmer as possible
- Put your Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (See your hub's manual for specific steps. Each brand is different!)
- While the hub is searching for a device, click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly to finalize the exclusion process
- Your hub should confirm that a device has been excluded
If that didn't work, it's possible some of the tips below will help:
- Try excluding the RGBW Dimmer one more time. It's possible that the exclusion commands didn't go through the first time around
- Try the inclusion process again, only this time instead of pressing the button 3 times quickly, click it 4-5 times as quickly as possible. This can help make sure the commands are registered correctly.
- If you have a hand-held secondary controller, try bringing it closer to the RGBW Dimmer and using it to complete the inclusion process.
- Try adding a Z-Wave signal repeater (any non-battery powered Z-Wave device) between the RGBW Dimmer and hub to see if that helps communication, especially if there are walls, floors, metal & glass elements, or even large furniture between the two nodes.
- And if you find that your RGBW Dimmer is connected but it's not responded to remote commands, check out these tips for troubleshooting connectivity.
