Iris V1 Contact Sensor Reconnect

So when my battery died for a week on my Iris V1 contact sensor it went into pairing mode as if it was factory reset. I could not complete the pairing process with a new battery, just like everyone has described here.

Here are the steps to temporarily add the sensor as a new device then change the IDs around to revert back to the original Hubitat device tied to all your automations and apps:

  1. In your existing Hubitat Iris contact sensor device settings change the ZigBee ID (but don't forget the existing ID, I just added a few zzz's to the end)
  2. Pair the contact sensor in Hubitat as a new device, give it a temporary name
  3. Open the temp device settings and change the ZigBee ID (and save) then change the Device Network ID (and save)
  4. Go back to the original device and change the ZigBee ID back to the original (remove the zzz's) and your device should be working again! I did not have to update/change the Device Network ID on the original device, but you may have to if you install a completely new sensor.
  5. Delete the temporary device.
    Done!
