Difficulty including your ZEN05 Outdoor Smart Plug to the Z-Box? Let's start simple: give the exclusion process a try!

The easiest way to resolve inclusion or configuration issues is by excluding the device first! Exclusion can be done at any time, even if a device has never been included to the hub! Another way to think of exclusion is as a hub-based reset.

ZEN05 Exclusion Process

1. From the sidebar navigation menu of the Z-Box web interface, go to Settings by clicking on the gear icon.

2. You will be redirected to the Devices menu.

3. Click the red - Remove device button in the top right corner.

4. Select the Z-Wave Device option.

5. Get ready to activate your Z-Wave device and click Start.

6. Click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly (the LED indicator will start blinking green)

7. The Z-Box will confirm exclusion

Once the Z-Box confirms a successful exclusion, please try including the device again.

SmartStart and Z-Wave Long Range Inclusion Troubleshooting

If exclusion is not successful, if you have previously added this device to your hub, if SmartStart failed, or if the device will not include, please follow the steps below in order. Removing the device from the provisioning list generally resolves most inclusion issues:

1. Check if the device is in the provisioning list. Click the Settings cogwheel > Z-Wave > SmartStart:

2. Click the Trash Icon (identify the relevant device by the DSK number). A popup will ask you to confirm. Click Delete:

3. The device has now been removed from the provisioning list.

4. Factory reset the ZEN05. After a successful reset, the device will disappear from the device list.

5. Unplug the ZEN05 (this removes power from the device).

6. Go through the inclusion steps listed here to include the device (remember, power stays OFF until step 6).

Additional Troubleshooting

• Try the exclusion process again in case the command from the first run weren't registered correctly. 

• Try bringing device closer to the hub to see if it connects in a closer location. If it connects without issue in the new spot, then the first location may be out of range or there may be too many interferences in that area.

• And if you find that your switch is connected but it's not responded to remote commands, check out these tips for troubleshooting connectivity.
