Greetings! newbie to Home Assistant here. I purchased this device primarily to support my legacy ViziaRf install i did back in 2008 (secondary is Hayward ProLogic which i have mostly working as well). I originally was using Elk M1 for automation but got out of it for a decade+.. I could replace with more modern dimmers/etc but if i can get this to work and squeeze a few more years out of it, well that's my hope.
I have been able to add RZI06/RZI10 dimmers and RZS15 switches just fine (currently have about 20 of them configured and working perfectly, including voice with Assistant and Alexa). But i haven't been able to get a single zone (RZCZ1) or 4-button scene (RZCS4) controller to successfully include in the new network. I have successfully excluded these devices from the original network (was built and deconstructed using the Leviton Remote ... painful!).
Primary Issue
The 1 Zone controllers used in virtual 3-way applications are the most important thing for me at the moment. I consistently get the following in debug level log on the three i've tried to include:

Doesn't seem like much to go off of. I've read several posts including "howto-leviton-vizia-rf-zone-controllers", but my problem seems more fundamental.
I am moving the ZWA-2 to the same room when i'm doing this. Within a few feet of the controllers actually.
Any tips / suggestions appreciated.
Secondary issue : despite putting the 4-button scene controllers in flashing amber mode, they don't seem to be acknowledged at all for inclusion attempts. I see nothing relevant that i can make out in debug log and they just flash amber / the inclusion times out.
Third issue - i've got 5 dimmers that won't pair. They go to solid amber instead of flashing after the air gap... If i continue holding down, i get 12 red flashes and then the led goes blank. There are comments on line that this LED sequence is indicative of firmware/hardware fault but one of these was successfully re-paired with it's associated zone controller just yesterday and the bi-directional communication worked fine (zone controller correctly commanded the dimmer and level changes on the dimmer reflected on the zone controller) - so it just seems odd this one would be in a non-recoverable fault state?
thx in advance
