Zwave adding devices - totally lost

I’ve configured zwave and my Aeotec Gen 5 stick shows up. On the configuration page it shows zwave and ready. I’m lost on adding a device. I’m trying to add a Leviton outlet. Do I use the button on thezwave stick? remove the stick and put it in pairing mode next to the outlet? I’ve tried this nothing seems to happen.

Do I need to add the config_path to the configuration.yaml file?
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0

Don’t remove the stick, don’t use the button on the stick, do it all in HA…

Configuration panel > Zwave > add node

(might not be add node, can’t look atm, but something like that)

Then press the button on the device you want to include (check the devices manual for the inclusion process)

Done.

it is “Add node”, I missed a step on the outlet. After you press and hold the control button for 7 seconds led is amber, then you have to press 1 more time then it flashes green quickly. then it popped up.

Time to take a break, I’ve been working on my HA all weekend.

Thx for the input.
