I have just successfully migrated to Z-Wave JS and everything is working. I do however want to remove and re setup my Schlage Z-Wave Plus lock that is on my front door. When I look in the device properties I see this
Am I right in thinking the correct way to remove a device is to first select “Remove Failed Device” and then push the “Exclude” button on the lock itself? I cannot see any option just to remove a device from the network.
Thanks in advance for any help

You can go to Configuration → Intergrations → Z-Wave js Configuration and remove a device from there.
Thank you,
I missed this. I assume I need to select remove device first then press the include/exclude button on my lock?
Your assumption is correct.
And if you wanted to do this INSIDE JS2MQTT, look for Manage Nodes:
Same procedure on the lock.
And FYI - you don’t need to remove the lock, if it’s not communicating, you could repair the node. If it IS communicating properly, you can re-interview the device. Rarely would remove / re-include help if communications are good.
Thanks for the tip Nathan,
I am just running regular Z-Wave JS at the moment, I have been playing with Zigbee2MQTT on a test machine. I only have 5 Z-Wave devices (2 Schlage locks, 2 leviton plugs and a motion sensor) so I might look at X-Wave2MQTT
This is now in Settings > Devices & Services > Z-Wave > [Hub] Configure
What if the Z-Wave device is no longer functional or available?
There is no way to press anything on the device, say the device is gone or crushed by a Massey Ferguson MF 8700. Theoretically.
nvm.
Settings → Devices & Services → In the Z-Wave integration click [n] DEVICES → Select crushed device → In the Device Info card, right of CONFIGURE, click the 3 dot menu → select Removed failed.
I replaced a Z-Wave device with another one, but the old one I already unplugged. How do I remove it from Z-Wave JS?
Found it! You click “Remove Failed”:
On mine remove failed is not an option. The device is marked as dead, but I can’t find any way to remove it.
Use the Delete option instead.
Delete just sits and spins forever, never completing. And the device remains.
This is my issue right now too. I had a problem adding a device and now I have three Zwave devices called “Node #”. If I try to delete them it brings up a box that says “removing device”, but it just sits there and does nothing. If I close it everything is still the same and no option that says “remove failed”.
I realized rebooting and trying delete worked. Problem solved I guess.
I wanted to remove the device that is still “live” because I needed to reset it.
I have to go outside and actual unplug it and go back to remove failed node.
there need to be a way for me to remove a device that seem live and working to z-wave js.
if you have a need to remove working device. you have to unplug it first and do remove failed node.
