Deleting ZigBee device doesn't clear states

I have been trying for a week without success to add or rejoin my ever reliable ST v1 motion sensors. I still have many working but once I change the battery they are done. I can't seem to find any commonality that will lead me to a successful method.
No matter what method, distance, radio level, reboot etc. I always get device found and initilizing but that's it.

The question here is why, after deleting and reinitializing the device, do I always get the same state info if I create a virtual motion sensor and populate it with the Zigbee id?
If I run a discovery at this point I get previous device found and it populates the correct Device Network id.
In the past this method used to work as a hack but it seems not anymore.

This never changes:

When you get it to connect change the driver to DEVICE and click save. Then click all the delete buttons. Once done, change the driver back, click save, then click configure.

I didn't even know you could use Device; I see it in the list now but never noticed before.
I thought it was just set to that by the system when it couldn't match the device signature.

Not your fault, @rlithgow1 begged us to not tell you, so he could ride in w/a big save and look cool. :wink:

It is a very helpful tool. :slight_smile:
