Z-Stick Gen5 Schlage not connecting

Well, I’ve tried a few times without success. I followed the following procedure:

  1. Reinstalled a fresh version of openhabianpi
  2. Unpair zstick and lock using button on zstick.
  3. Installed the zwave binding in paperui
  4. Configured zwave binding by adding the controller in paperui ( z-wave serial controller reads as online)
  5. set zwave binding to pair mode in habmin
  6. Set lock to pair mode. (Lock responds with red X or times out (usually times out)

I’m at the end to my limited openhab/zwave knowledge. Can someone help? Do I need to unpair a failed pairing in openhab somehow?
