Minoston MP22ZP LR

This device is having a hard time staying connected in the mesh as a regular zwave device due to distance and location.

I noticed it is an LR device and I have a ZWA-2 so I was thinking of excluding and adding it as LR.

Do I use zwave js ui to exclude it?

I never noticed when I was adding my devices how to scan the QR code as HA asked me for the pin. It never prompted me to add it as an LR device.

Do I scan the QR code with my iphone using zwave js ui to add it as an LR device?
