I think I’m having exactly this issue. I “included” a device (Fibaro motion sensor) on a 700 series controller, which apparently doesn’t work with openhab. I’ve got a new controller (ZME brand; USB identifies it as “Sigma Designs, Inc. Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 (ZW090) - UZB”). The controller added without a problem, but the device will not include - with a nearly identical log as above.
It sure sounds as if “Do this by putting the new controller into exclusion mode and then initiate the exclusion on the device.” will fix my problem.
The issue: How does one put a controller in “exclusion mode” and then “initiate exclusion on the device”? The openhab binding documentation mentions that exclusion mode exists, but that’s about it; everything is about inclusion.
The Fibaro instructions:
- Set the main controller in remove mode (see the controller’s manual).
- Quickly, three times press the B-button – visual indicator will glow blue.
- Wait for the removing process to end.
The posts on the ZME forum all assume one knows how to do this. The “manual” just tells you how to change frequency (mine should be OK - manual says my SKU defaults to US, which is where I am).
