I am trying to get a Leviton ZW15R to include (using official Z-Wave JS
add-on 0.5.0), but am running into issues. The first 20 or so times I tried, the device would time out of inclusion with no indication from ZWaveJS that any device was found.
I thought it might be a signal strength/interference issue, even though my HUSBZB is just on the other side of the wall, so I moved my RPi running HA into the same room (can’t easily move device as it is hardwired to 120V). That still didn’t work, so I put a longer USB extension to get the ZWave stick about 3 feet away from the receptacle. (As a quick sidenote about the signal and distance from the hub: the same room also has multiple other ZWave devices, including a device which is a repeater, and those have no connection issues. It seems like the inclusion process isn’t using the repeaters to help it find new devices.)
Finally, it gave me a message that inclusion failed (without first showing any inclusion progress), and to check the log for details. Unfortunately, every time I go to check the log, it seems to reset to only showing logs starting from when I opened the log page. So I left a log window open and after about 10 more failed attempts (with the stick 3 feet away) got the following:

Node 10 is my Honeywell T6 thermostat. I don’t see these messages about timed out while waiting for response or dropping message with invalid payload at any other time, but perhaps this happened because I temporarily moved my hub?
Is there anything of value in these logs, or do I need to try again with higher verbosity?
I don’t tend to have too many ZWave inclusion issues, so this has been very frustrating, and I don’t have much free time left to mess with this. Anyone else have issues with this device? Other ideas as to what could be wrong?
