[DRIVER] Ring Alarm Keypad G2 Community Driver - Continued

For anyone browsing the internet who is still having trouble pairing this thing, the problem for me was 100% the motion sensor. I was able to get them to pair, but like a lot of posts I saw the keypad would receive HSM events but didn't seem to want to send anything to the Hubitat. My process for pairing was:

  1. Remove from ZWave network by excluding on hub, and unplugging and pushing reset button on back of keypad once.
  2. Factory Reset Keypad (Hold reset button on back of keypad for ten seconds until blinking wireless icon turns red)
  3. Face keypad down on table to prevent any triggering of the motion sensor.
  4. If you haven't already, install the community driver as referenced in this thread
  5. Add keypad back to Zwave network using SmartStart, all default settings
    a. If you're unfamiliar with SmartStart, its exclusive to the app(not the web GUI). A quick Google Search should get you up to speed on how to use it.
  6. Once paired(The keypad will announce "Disarmed" once the pairing is complete), immediately swap over to the community driver.
  7. Disable the motion sensor, click save and then hit configure. The keypad should again announce "Disarmed"
  8. Configure your keypad as you want, from here you should be able to move the device to its permanent location and it should work as intended.

It was step 3 that really got things working for me. I highly recommend making sure that the motion detector doesn't go off until you can get it disabled in step 7. Hope this helps someone in the future!
