Unknown Z-wave devices

If you can get the stick close to the hub it will help. Especially with pairing. It transfers a bunch of data.

Did get it paired... it paired asa generic Zwave dimmer. That normal? What should I change it to...

Mine paired as "device"

OK, I'll change it to that.

Looks like below...PC Controller is the stick, and the Portable Remote Controller is a Minimote button device I have paired w/HE.

I got my UZB7 paired to the hub. What are the virtual nodes 2-5? I don't see them in my zwave details page. Other than these, all the other devices are matching with hubitat

Virtual devices 2 through 5 are used by the hub. Don't mess with them, and most importantly don't delete them.

Thanks. That means I don't have any ghost nodes. Yay!

If you had them AFAIK you would have seen them in the Hub's Z-Wave Details page. The UZB stick just let's you remove them if you needed/wanted to.

It is nice to have a clean slate. I removed my "defanged" ghost w/my UZB just so things would look pretty. :wink: After installing .142 the ghost no longer messed up my network, but its entry in my device list bothered me so I zapped it. :slight_smile:

How can you not play?!?!? :wink:

Exactly. Too many toys, too little time

So I should wait for 2.2.4 to be released before upgrading, right? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

How do I delete this sucker?? Nothing happens when I hit delete... it just comes back.

What is this device? Can you power it down so it does not respond? If you do so maybe it will clear on a reboot (then remove) or overnight. I can't remember exactly how to do it the HE way or if it's even possible yet. I've also hit "discover" and "repair" a couple of times with the device powered - sometimes it will be found again and show up in the device list where you can remove it.

I usually remove these troublesome "ghosts" via a Z-wave usb stick. It might be worth picking one up for giggles - they are fairly inexpensive.

See @danabw excellent guide:

IF it's caused by an Include that didn't complete, and the device is functioning at a new Node number, then just click the Remove button, then wait 10 mins. (All those buttons simply tell the ZRadio to do something, and you have to wait for it to complete.) You click the button and it looks like nothing happens.. so be patient and let the process run in the background. Refresh the page in 10 mins and see if the status changed, Don't let it frustrate, try that 3 times then give up and investigate the 2nd Zstick option.

Do they only have tool for PC? Cant find for MAC.......

I've only ever seen/heard of a PC version, unfortunately. Someone else may know of an alternative...

PC Only.

I've used a virtual Win10 under VirtualBox for years for this purpose, originally with OZWCP.

Aeon's the same way, their firmware upgrades are PC only as well.
