I'm glad I did this wrong. I'm doing the exact same thing monitoring my laundry machines for activity, and got lucky that the pairing went insecure.
This S0 thing sure causes a lot of issues. I can't use my inovelli bulbs as a result. Another thread recommended I buy a USB dongle to pair S0 stuff as insecure (if they don't have a insecure pair method). I'm tempted to just get new devices instead, but that would cost more.
