Unknown Z-wave devices

Here's the way I did it.. others have used NWI for inclusion.. etc

  1. Plug it in to a windows machine... may have to install the drivers. These can be found in the initial installation directory i.e. "..\ZWavePCController_v5_39\bin" . NOTE: There have been issues using the newer drivers downloaded directly from SiLabs site. Try the ones included with the install first!
  2. Run the PC Controller Sw. Note: you might have to select the source but probably not.
  3. Go to "Network Management"
  4. In HE put your hub into Z-Wave inclusion mode..
  5. In PC Ctlr sw click on "Classic Learn Mode"
  6. Hopefully it pairs as a Z-Wave Device, I paired in unsecured mode (unchecking all boxes) - nothing else needs to be done in HE until ready for removal.
  7. A list of devices should appear in the upper left pane. Find and click on the "ghost" device.
  8. With the ghost device highlighted click on "Is Failed" in the upper right pane - hopefully it will mark the device as failed and then you can click on "Remove Failed". If not you can try clicking on "NOP" and maybe "Is Failed" a few times to see if that works.
  9. When finished and you want to exclude the UZB-7 put HE in exclusion mode and in the PC Ctlr sw click on "Select Learn Mode" and NWE. UZB-7 should then get excluded from HE.
