Zooz S2 USB stick not adding devices

I have a Zooz ZST10 S2 Z-Wave Plus USB Stick connected to a
Raspberry Pi 4B that is running the home control software
Home Assistant 0.103.5

The USB stick is configured and shows the configuration as ready.

I want to pair it with a smart bulb
ilumin RGBW smart bulb LZW42

I followed the bulb instructions for pairing by powering it up
which causes it to blink twice then I click ADD NODE on the
Z-Wave Network Management page… Nothing I have varied the sequence
many ways. I have also tried the ADD NODE SECURE button.

Here is the OZW log after a restart server an an attempt to add node

Based on what you’ve written and the user manual, it doesn’t sound like you performed the inclusion process correctly. First, you need to click the “Add Node” button in HA, then you need to perform the inclusion process for the bulb. That is:

  1. Click Add Node in the HA Z-Wave Control Panel
  2. Turn on and off power to the bulb 3x (ie: Turn On, Turn Off, Turn On, Turn Off, Turn On) and the bulb should flash 3x indicating it’s in inclusion mode. If the bulb was included successfully, it will blink one more time.

Those are the instructions from the Z-Wave DB, and the manual.

The mfg. instructions say it will flash twice to indicate inclusion mode and is included will flash a third time. Even following your suggestion I get the same result, the bulb never flashes a third flash.
Before I add the log, I want to thank you for the reply. I also have queries to the mfgs I will try to remember to reply to you if I find a solution. Add to your knowledge base. At 77 years old, I forget a lot. Let me know if you have any other ideas please.

I finally got it to work. It may have been an RTFM problem.
The Z-Wave Network Management page NEVER worked but
I went to the developer tools and selected services at the top
On there was a Z-Wave add device option and it worked
exactly as it should. The bulb blinked twice then it blinked a
third time to indicate it was connected.

How did you do that? I’m trying to add a node, it seems to be working and doing what is expected, but I don’t see anything in HA. Did you put something in Service Data?

At 77 years old, the memory isn’t trustworthy
but I seem to recall that I had to click the service “zwave.heal_network”
for the bulb to show up.

But then I did a lot of tinkering around so I am really not
sure. I am a bit disappointed in the lack of range I have with Z-Wave
but the USB dongle is a bit obscured. I am going to extend it and place
it in a higher location with less obstruction for the signal.

I eventually got there in the end. I found I had to remove the node (even though I could not add it) first, then add it after that. Been trying to get it working on and of for about a year!
