first zwave ia an Aeotec extender, I go to add device and it "listens" for the Extender which is only about 5 feet away, but never finds it. Maybe extenders are not added??

Extenders do need to be added. Try excluding the device and then try adding it.

@jkrausOK, this is fairly obvious (sorry) but worth saying, you did put the extender into learning mode?

I am only two Z-Wave devices ahead of you, and I have that extender in operation.

When you click Z-Wave you will see this drop down menu.

Click on "Remove a Z-Wave Device"

 

 

Then you will see this.

 

Follow the instructions that came with your device to remove your device from your Z-Wave network.

 

thanks

Check the pamphlet that came with your extender.

Pretty straightforward, you plug it in, you'll see the LED ring breathing (glowing bright/dim), single tap that button and it is in learning mode.

Classic Inclusion.

 

1. Decide on where you want your Range Extender to be placed and then plug it into a wall outlet.

 

Make sure that the LED is breathing its white LED.

2. Set your Z-Wave Controller into pairing mode.

3. Press the Z-Wave Button on your Range Extender and quickly release the button (should only be a quick tap action on the button).

Range Extender 7 will quickly flash its white LED up to 30 seconds or until it is paired successfully. If successfully paired, the LEDs light will become brighter.

If your repeater failed to pair, the LED will return to slow breathing LED. If it is this case, please return to step 2.
