unable to add zwave switch GE 14291

Featured Replies

Posted

I"ve been trying to add a zwave switch to my device for a day or so.

I believe I've done everything per procedure. First exclude / remove 2x than add. Ultimately the device never shows up on my device tree.

At one point I had something show up but it showed as unresponsive / uninitialised. 

 

This is what the log says after one of the iterations.

Any tips or help appreciated. I'm not having much success.

Thanks for the quick reply. 

 

Before I posted I had factory reset the device 2x as well. I was about 15 feet away I'll attempt to get a little closer and try again.

I uploaded 5.0.12 firmware AND went three feet from the device and the switch added first try!

Next issue is I moved the isy back to the basement and now it appears it's out of range. :(

You need more devices between the ISY and switch. Building a strong mesh network is paramount for good communication. I've attached a link from another zwave post that you should read.

A network heal wouldn't work for him in this case since he only has 1 device.

lilyoyo1 : you are absolutely right .

FWIW, I have a couple of those switches and can confirm they work with the ISY.

Range or defect would be my guess as to your issue.

I was able to add the device. Range definitely seems to be the issue.

In for a penny in for a pound. More zwave devices on order.

So, at the end of the day my other zwave devices arrived. I had a heck of a time getting them added and communicating with the ISY. I ended up getting a Aeotec Zwave stick and setting up homeassistant to control it and worked out ok. My goal was to ultimately setup the isy as a secondary controller but never got that working either.

 

I love my isy with insteon but really had trouble with zwave.

 

I would get an old extension cord, add the devices while close to the ISY and then move them to their permanent location. Once finished, run a network heal. This is how I handle all of my Insteon and zwave devices.
