Ghosts

Hi everyone. I’m running a C-8, and recently remodeled the house. The result is about 40 ghosts haunting me in every direction. :slight_smile:

I’m trying to use an Aeotec z-stick to nuke the ghosts, but I keep getting the error “Learn mode Removed completed in XX:XX:XX:XXX.”

I’m using v5 of the SI Labs app.

Any suggestions? I’m irritated enough that I’m seriously considering resetting my C-8 and starting over, but that is a heck of a lot of exclusions/inclusions, LOL.

Thanks as always. Happy new year!

Don't know if this will help but I just had to do this with my Aeotec Z-stick and I used the procedure I copied below. I don't remember exactly where I got this from but I had to do this a year or so back and saved this procedure. Using it just a week or so ago I was able to get rid of my ghost.

I did have issues getting rid of the secondary controller, after I finished but finally got it removed.

> PC: Confirm secondary control by selecting a node switch that you know by looking at the HE list, and turn it on and off by selecting it and clicking the Basic Set On/Off button

> a. I had an old test controller and two old Aeotec sirens I had played with last month that showed up in PC but not in the HE list.
> b. I'm assuming this means the Z-Wave controller in HE knows about these devices but they have no entries in the HE database? Source of trouble anyway.
