Tips for pairing Monoprice 15271 Motion Detector

Anyone successful pairing Monoprice 15271 Zwave Plus Motion Detectors?

I bit late on this, but hopefully useful to others. The instructions in the manual aren't super clear. I was switching from SmartThings to HE and couldn't get it to exclude properly. Easiest thing to do was factory reset the sensor (which the manual doesn't tell you how to do). Take off the cover and first hit the program button once to wake it up (it's the pin hole on the bottom, not the tamper switch which is an obvious looking button on the circuit board). Then hitting the button once, hit it 10 more times. If it succeeded in resetting the LED will blink in rapid succession.

Then wait 20 seconds. Close the cover on the sensor. Put HE in discovery mode. Hit the program button twice in a row. It should show up in HE at that point.
