I haven’t had to do a secure inclusion for a while. When I was setting up my secure devices, I tried everything over and over without any success. I had even put OH on my laptop so that I could walk around with my zstick attached (same security settings) and pair my locks without taking them off the door and garage openers off the ceiling. Nothing worked, literally, for weeks. I was very frustrated, so I finally setup Domoticz (uses OpenZwave) on my laptop and BAM had three locks paired on their first try. Took the laptop into the garages and BAM paired up the door openers. No retries, no resets, just worked. Popped the zstick into the OH server and all was golden. I’m not suggesting this is the best long term solution (using something other than OH) for secure pairing, but it worked very well for me. I’m very hesitant to send this post out as I don’t want to offend Chris or anyone else who has worked on this binding by offering an alternative for secure inclusion. But knowing how frustrating it was, maybe this info will help someone who’s ready to give up on OH.
If secure inclusion is still as difficult as it was, there could be a lot of unhappy campers if this rolled out to a larger audience. Maybe I just lucked out with secure devices that are finicky with timing during inclusion. I have a couple uninstalled BE469s that I’ll test the secure inclusion on this week, using the current binding, and see if it goes any smoother.
