Hi folks. I am trying to pair a Leviton Switch with my Z-stick controller (Using ZwaveJS2MQTT + Hassio). When I try to pair I get the following msg and then it fails. Any idea why? Any tips is greatly appreciated

How far is device from controller

3

Things to consider:

  • (as already noted) distance from controller
  • Mesh quality / strength
  • Mesh composition (e.g. all PLUS devices or are there some legacy non-plus devices?)
  • Security level of switch
  • Is switch reset to default before trying to include?
  • Method of adding (are you trying to add from the zwavejs2mqtt dashboard or the Add Device under Integrations?)
