How to Add Your ZSE42 Water Leak XS Sensor to Hubitat

The ZSE42 XS Sensor is officially supported by Hubitat so it will work with the hub out of the box (just make sure your HE platform is on 2.2.9 or higher).

Here are the steps for including the ZSE42 to Hubitat:

Smart Start Inclusion

On the Hubitat app:

Open the Tools tab (wrench icon on the bottom)
Scroll to the bottom, select Z-Wave
This will take you to a screen where you can select either Smart Start or regular inclusion
Select Smart Start
This will take you to the smart start inclusion list. Devices will be displayed there that are in the process of inclusion through Smart Start.
Select the QR symbol in the top right to open the camera for the DSK scan
Power the device (important to do this AFTER QR scan)
The device integration will begin. The window will appear asking you to name the device; click Save after naming
Finishing inclusion may take a few minutes

If you have any issues with Smart Start Inclusion on Hubitat, please review this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf-Fldjb0to. The steps should be the same whether you have a C-7 or C-8.

Manual Inclusion

Open Hubitat in your Internet browser
Go to Devices
Click on + Add Device in the top right corner
Click on Z-Wave
Click on Start Z-Wave Inclusion
While the app says is in inclusion mode, click the Z-Wave button on the sensor 3 times as quickly as possible (the LED indicator will start flashing). Enter the PIN printed under the QR code on the back of the sensor if prompted for the DSK key.
Rename and confirm the found device.

If the sensor is having trouble pairing to Hubitat, try the exclusion process first. It will help the ZSE42 Sensor configure properly, even if it never connected to the hub:

Open Hubitat in your Internet browser
Go to Devices
Click on + Add Device in the top right corner
Click on Z-Wave
Click on Start Z-Wave Exclusion
While the device is searching for a device, click the Z-Wave button on the sensor 3 times as quickly as possible, the LED indicator will start flashing
The app will indicate when the device is successfully excluded.
