Problem Joining ST hub to ISY Zwave network

[JimDC]

I'd like to add my ST hub to my ISY994i (firmware & UI are 4.5.4) but I'm getting the following error: "z-wave network failed to security include your new device. please exclude the device and try including it again."

 

The error logs show the following:

My ST hub is V2 US firmware version 000.016.00011.  My ST hub and ISY are about 18 feet apart, in my basement.

I don't know about this hub, but the zwave spec generally requires that devices be no more than a few inches apart, up to a couple of feet max for the key exchange part of secure enrollment. 18' is way too far I believe.

Thanks MWareman, I moved them next to each other and it still didn't work. I was able to join the ISY to the ST z-wave network using ISY's learn mode, but ISY only sees one of my Z-Wave devices (GE outlet).  The rest either don't appear or appear as 'uninitialized'.

 

Back to experimenting....

[MWareman]

Are the others also secure devices?

 

Zwave does not support sharing secure devices between controllers - so only non-secure devices will properly initialize. You will have to disjoin secure devices from their current controller and join them to the ISY if you want the ISY to control and monitor them.

[JimDC]

In fact my Fibaro Motion Sensor is a secure device, so that would explain it.  Thanks again!

I was really hoping to do this as well.  I need it more to add Zigbee support.    If you cannot add another controller, how do you "Shift Primary to another Controller" and back?

 

Any rate, I will have to work with the API for ST.
