This is product is discontinued and does not have a replacement yet. New product in development. What does that mean?
If you're experiencing inclusion issues with your device, exclusion is always the first thing to try.
But first, check that you've installed the Edge driver for the ZEN31. Without the driver, the ZEN31 RGBW Dimmer won't be recognized by SmartThings correctly.
Once you've confirmed that the driver has been installed, let's move on to exclusion. Exclusion is a type of Z-Wave reset that is effective at solving issues where you can't seem to add a new to your hub. Even if the ZEN31 RGBW Dimmer was never added successfully, you can still use your SmartThings app to exclude the device (the app would simply confirm that an "unknown" device was excluded).
Below are the exclusion steps for the SmartThings app:
- Open your SmartThings app and locate your SmartThings hub under Devices. Tap the hub to see the device details.
-
Tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner and tap Settings
- Tap Z-Wave Utilities
- Tap Z-Wave Exclusion
- While the app is searching for a device, click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times very quickly
- The app will indicate when the device is successfully removed. Tap Done
Once exclusion is confirmed by the hub, try including the device again using the process shown here. If you're still unable to include your dimmer after exclusion, here are some other things to try:
- Try the exclusion process once more. Sometimes commands from the first run aren't registered correctly, so we find that multiple exclusion attempts can be helpful.
- Try the inclusion process again, only this time instead of clicking the Z-Wave button 3 times, click it 4-5 times as quickly as possible.
- Try adding a Z-Wave signal repeater (any non-battery powered Z-Wave device) between the ZEN31 RGBW Dimmer and hub to see if that helps communication. If you have a hand-held secondary hub, try using it to include the device.
- And if you find that your device is connected but it's not responding to remote commands, take a look at these connectivity troubleshoots that have helped users in the past.
But if you're still seeing issues with the exclusion/inclusion process no matter what you try, please reach out to us! We're here to help.
