New to Home Assistant and having trouble adding my first Z-Wave Switches

I have Home Assistant Core running on an Unraid Docker. I added the straighforward integrations first (ecobee, abode alarm, weather) which were obviously easy. I can’t for the life of me get any of my brand new GE Embrighten Zwave Dimmers or Fan Switches to pair.

What i’ve done so far:
Added Zwave to the configuration mapping my AEON GEN 5 Usb stick and specified a network key.The USB Stick shows up as my 1 node in Home Assistant.

When i press “add node” or “add secure node” (tried both) and then press the Up toggle on my zwave switch i get the following in the log:

Any thoughts on what i can do to get these added? I have tried factory resets on all of the switches as well and have no luck.

Thanks!

Try remove node, hit the button on the switch, wait for it to finish, THEN add node, hit the switch.

Something similar happens to me! According the log everything goes ok (or at least that looks to me) but the new node is not appearing on the Configure>zWave drop down node list.
