You'll be able to control the device connected to your Motor Controller from the app, create on/off schedules for it and use it in more complex automations.

Please ensure you install the Edge driver before including the device, as the driver ensures the device is recognized correctly on SmartThings and provides access to all the advanced settings and functionality for the device. Once installed, you'll be able to control the device connected to your Motor Controller from the app, create on/off schedules for it and use it in more complex automations.

Having issues including the ZEN53 to SmartThings? You may need to reset it via exclusion. The best way to resolve any inclusion or configuration issues is through a Z-Wave exclusion from the SmartThings app (it works even if the device has never been added to SmartThings before):

1. Tap on your hub in the home page of the app or on the device list
2. Tap the three dots in the top right
3. Tap Settings
4. Tap Z-Wave Utilities 
5. Tap Z-Wave Exclusion
6. While the app is searching for a device, press the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times as quickly as possible
7. The app will indicate when the device is successfully removed. Tap Done

Now you can try adding the device again.
