Just received a Leviton ZW15R and tried to set it up in my C8. First time, C8 ask if I wanted security or not (didn’t use security) then went to bootstrap the outlet. Finally received error message that it didn’t setup. Found a ghost in the Zwave Details. I reset the outlet, rebooted the C8 and tried again. Same except tried with Security. Same results, a new ghost created. So far, I have 4 ghosts created.
I’ve tried Find by Brand and selecting the ZW15R and just manually adding a Zwave device. No luck. I’ve hooked up the outlet to temporary power so that it’s within 12 inches of the hub.
I added one to my C8 about two month ago without any problems. Except it would stop responding after about a week, a firmware update fixed that. Contact Leviton support they responded to be very quickly.
I am guessing you just need to do a shut down and restart (not reboot) to restart the z-wave radio, in order to pair a new device. It may or may not help with getting rid of the ghosts as well.
Thanks. I have an email into them asking for help. Good to know it will work with the C8. I even tried the smart start to add it, but it didn’t work either.
