Zwave exclude help

Configuration
1

Hi all, new here. Trying to use HAss to possibly replace Smartthings. Been doing smart home stuff for years (X10 prior to ST) Using a Raspberry Pi 4. All good so far, but ran into my first problem. Started with buying the wrong zwave stick. Got the Zooz 800. Replacing it soon with the Aeotec v5.

But having a problem excluding the zwave devices that were found so far. It shows 7 devices, but won’t name them or even really connect to them. Problem is, I now want to exclude them and can’t do that either. Is there a way in HAss to ‘exclude all’ zwave devices, so they can be available to a new controller?

Thanks in advance for your help

No there isn’t. But, your new controller can issue an exclude - it doesn’t have to be the original.

Also you can delete failed nodes when you can’t reach them anymore…
