Zigbee discover new devices missing from menu

I apologize if I'm late to the party, as I don't add new devices to my hubitat often, but this morning I went to add a new zigbee outlet and I can no longer find the menu option to discover new Zigbee or Z-Wave devices. I did some searching and found a YouTube video where the option is present so I know I'm not losing my mind and it was there before but I've dug around in my hub and can't find it anymore.

I'm running a C-5 with version 2.3.5.152 of code (just upgraded it this morning, thinking that might have been the issue but it apparently wasn't).

Has this functionality been deprecated or is something 'broken'? Or am I just blind??

Thanks in advance for any helpful nuggets you can toss my way.

Cheers!

Go to the Devices page, there's a button in the upper right corner for adding new Devices.

Saw that but it appears to now be a manual process. If that's the only way to do it now then I guess I'll conform, but it was nice to be able to just hit discover and watch my new devices pop.

Same as it ever was in my experience, but then I've only been with HE since the C-8 release. Whatever. :slight_smile:

Best I can tell, the feature has been removed.

Added manually. Thanks.

There used to be an option in the "kebab menu" in the upper right, which itself no longer exists but was present on all hub pages, if I recall. Adding new devices has been moved to a button on the Devices page for quite some time now.

After you get to this page, it should more or less be the same--you've always had to identify the protocol for your device (Z-Wave, Zigbee, etc.). There isn't anything more "manual" about this now than before. There are newer options to search by manufacturer and model, but you can completely ignore them and just do it by protocol as you always could; these ultimately do the same but present instructions, if Hubitat has any for that device, to make it a bit friendlier.

And, of course, any video that still has that UI is probably pretty old by now. :smiley:

The equivalent of discover in the current UI:
Devices -> Add Device -> Zigbee -> Start Zigbee Pairing
