I tried to setup my new Z-Wave thermostat, see here:
As I couldn’t find out how to solve this, I decided to remove the device (it was node 3) and to search again.
Now I found two devices (node 3 and 4) where both are not responding and the thermometer display blinks upon press of a button. Resetting the device, deleting the items, clearing the cache, rebooting OH leads to the same results: I always find two devices again.
As for getting rid of “ghost” nodes from the controller, I use the Zensys tool, and follow the procedure outlined here. I find the Zensys tool to work more consistently than any other tool.
To properly exclude a device, you put the controller into exclude mode, then do “something” on the device. The “something” is a button press or series of button presses as described in the device user manual.
If you’re using Paper UI to manage your zwave devices, I would suggest you use the HABmin UI instead.
Sorry, but I don’t know what this is. In HABmin, when the Serial Controller thing is selected, it looks like this on the Tools menu (after selecting Show Advanced Settings.
Ok, I did a proper hard reset. That killed all other devices as well, but at least the base is solid now. I included the devices again which took me some hours.
