Factory reset z-wave dimmer, re-include afterward?

Honestly, I would just reboot the hub which resets the stats and continue to monitor it. I have not really seen any improved results from doing a reset and pairing again. Unless you added a large number of devices close to it recently that have not been picked up as neighbors yet, then it may help by finding those neighbors faster than waiting for it to happen on its own.

If you reset and do a normal include again, the old node will be a ghost.
If you want to get it back into the same node, you would need to factory reset the device, then on the zwave details page, press refresh a few times, then replace.

Here is a guide I wrote on it.
