I am new to HA, I have been using Smart things for years, I tried the Zooz S2 stick as well as the Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5+ but I cannot get any Z-wave devices to pair. When I remove them from SmartThings and exclude them from the Z-wave utilities. I even unplug the smart things hub. Did the factory reset on the GE switch (3x up, 3x down) until I get the blue flashing, even cycled power at the breakers, but I cannot get this switch to pick up my either the Zooz or the Aeotec through the Z-Wave JS or through the integration screens. I even moved my raspberry Pi4 4 right next to the switch to see if that helps. If I do the manual pair on the Aeotec it pairs instantly, but when I plug the stick back in, it picks up the switch, but it has a red unhappy face sayings its dead and the interview never gets past “Protocolinfo” if I go through the logs I see this, so it see it

Also, I can re include this switch to Smart things with out any issues? I have been stuck on this for a few days now! I really want to get rid of my smart things hub, but I have ~30 Z wave devices in my house! I have also tried a set of blinds and a Jasco version of the switch with no luck. Any ideas of next steps?
