Issues including your new ZSE41 Open | Close XS Sensor? No worries, start by giving the exclusion process a try!

It sounds counter-intuitive, but exclusion is the most efficient way to resolve any inclusion or configuration issues. It can be done at any time, even if a device has never been included to the hub! it simply acts as a soft Z-Wave reset for the device.

ZSE41 Exclusion Steps

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 ZSE41 and click Start.

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

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 ZSE41. After a successful reset, the device will disappear from the device list.

5. Remove the batteries from the ZSE41 if you plan to include the device using SmartStart / Z-Wave Long Range. 

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.
