Pairing older Leviton Devices

I'm guessing that's not going to work with a C8 or C8 pro - As the VRI06 is also a ZW100 device - See: https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/377?selectedFrequencyId=2
I would also try the shutdown and power OFF for 30 secs, before trying another pairing.

I'm guessing the compatibility chart is based on the fact that this will likely work on a C5 (500 series ZWave chip), and possible a C7 (700 series Zwave chip). - Use an older hub with older ZWave chips, and you stand a chance (You can pickup a used C5 or C7 on E-bay for $30) - Then share with Hub Mesh to your C8. - I still use a C7 to deal with older Zigbee devices that the C8 is problematic with. Basically, given the older endpoints, and older ZWave radio is going to be more compatible. - FYI, the C5 will not support S2 security (or ZWLR), so keeping the C8 is likely a good idea for new Zwave devices.

But I don't think a ZW100 device is ever going to play nicely with an 800 series ZW radio (which is what the C8 + C8 pro is based on). Just my 2 cents.
