New to Z Wave - did I do it right?

[to_lighter]

Hi everyone!

I bought my first Z Wave device.  It is an Enbrighten in wall receptacle.  I wired it up, and used the Z-Wave menu to add the device.  Worked nicely!

However, now in my device list, I see the following (see pic below).  Seems like a lot for a simple on off wall outlet.  What are all the other entries for?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Some devices will install several nodes, many of which are not necessary or phantom nodes. This is a common issue with Zwave and the ISY. Other controllers may or may not use those nodes.

What most of us do is create a folder "unused zwave nodes" and move the nodes you don't need into that folder.

Whew!

Thanks for the quick reply.   Very helpful!   Will do as you suggested to clean things up a bit.

One other suggestion is that it is recommended to do an exclude before an include with zwave devices, even new devices.
