Schlage BE649 Help

I’m having trouble pairing BE649. I have a HUSBZB-1 plugged into my unRAID server running HA VM. I am using the zwavejs2mqtt add-on. Network keys generated. It’s working fine with my other zwave devices but not my BE649. I’ve unlinked the BE649 from my SmartThings hub and did a factory reset. I did some searching which suggested the USB stick needs to be within a couple feet of the lock for initial pairing, is that true? So I’d have to bring my server next to the lock?

Thanks

Many times, the device needs a strong signal for secure inclusion initially.Once inclusion is started the process needs to complete within 10 seconds. You can only securely include after a factory reset of the device.
