Trouble pairing you ZEN17 to Home Assistant? Give exclusion a try!
Any Z-Wave device can be excluded, even if it's never been included to a Z-Wave network. The process acts as a soft reset and can help resolve any configuration issues.
Here's how to exclude your ZEN17 from Home Assistant:
- In Home Assistant: open Settings > Devices and Services > Z-Wave JS > Configure
- Click on Remove Device
- Click on Start Exclusion
- Press the Z-Wave button 3 times very quickly to finalize the exclusion process
- The device will now be removed, but that won’t show until you restart Home Assistant
- Run a Heal Network so all the other nodes learn about its removal
Once Home Assistant sends a confirmation message that the device has been removed, give the inclusion process another try.
Here are additional troubleshooting steps you can try if exclusion doesn't help:
- Give the exclusion steps another go. Sometimes the command isn't recognized correctly on the first try. You can also try pressing the Z-Wave button 4-5 times as quickly as possible.
- Check if your ZEN17 is within range of the hub. You can do this by excluding/including the unit as close as possible to the hub. If it pairs while in a closer location, then you may need to add a Z-Wave signal repeater between the ZEN17 and hub. A Z-Wave signal repeater can be any non-battery powered Z-Wave device. It will help the hub reach the ZEN17. You'll want to exclude and re-include the relay after adding the repeater so that the hub uses it to talk to the ZEN17.
