Recommendations for Z wave garage door controller?

Are you sure it still does not need the custom files? So far mine is NOT pairing with HA.

100% sure. Make sure you have your network key configured and that you add it as secure node.

I have tried it both secure and non secure and nothing is showing up.

I am about to try it with Wink to see if it’s go-control or HA that is the issue.

No go with wink ether. I wonder if Linear sent me a used one because when I pulled the battery tab out of the tilt sensor, the whole battery fell out and the battery arms are bent upward. Are those arms supposed to go on top or below the battery?

Got some tips from smartthings forum- I recommend them as they have much more complete instructions than what comes with the unit

Moved device to within an inch of HA.

Did a hard reset and tried again.
This time I got a beep from the gocontrol and now it "sort of " shows up:

Unknown Node 9 Initializing (None)

Rebooted and it is showing up now.

But based on what I saw on the smartthings forum, I think the tilt sensor came with the battery installed the wrong way. They show the tabs being below the battery when it is installed and mine were on top (and bent at that). Door status is not shown and I will probably have to install everything to reset the sensor according to their instructions.
Let me see if I can do a poor man install just to see if I can get the tilt sensor to work.
Thank you smart thing users for including complete instructions and poo-poo to go-control for NOT including complete instructions.

Nothing yet. When I try to open the door, it beeps and flashes light but door does not actually open.

From what I read on the other forum, this is a sensor problem or component failure with the unit itself.

I did have to reset the sensor and it appeared to work.

I may have to do it again now that it is installed…lets see if that helps…

Sensor reset -now unit is doa does not try to open or close though it does show door open like it should.

Sensor reset yet again and this time I think it’s finally working. Will mount the thing tommorow am…but in the meantime here are some links that provided way more info than the little leaflet that came with the unit. Hope this helps someone else. Because this was so problematic to even pair (and I have NEVER-ever had this with HA), I will keep a close eye on it before my return window expires.
