Having trouble including your ZSE42 Water Leak XS Sensor? Start with exclusion!

Unpairing, disconnecting, and removing are all ways to refer to exclusion. This process acts as a soft reset that can help with a variety of configuration or connectivity issues. Exclusion can be done even if the ZSE42 has never been included in your system.

1. Bring the Sensor within 3 feet 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. Click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly
4. Your hub should confirm exclusion and the sensor will disappear from the interface

Once you receive confirmation of exclusion, try adding the device to the system to see if that solves the issue. And if that still doesn't help, try these steps next: 

• Try the exclusion process again
• Click the Z-Wave button 4-5 times quickly when adding it, or add it in a non-secure mode
• If you tried excluding/including from the installation location, try it again closer to the hub. If the second try is successful, the original spot may be out of range of the Z-Wave hub.
• It may seem unlikely but check the batteries, and make sure they're positioned properly (especially if you're not seeing LED activity).
