GD00Z-4 Not working at all

Has anyone got the Lowe’s/Iris version (GD00Z-1) to actually work? I’ve tried with two different ones, thinking that one was faulty and still cannot get the status to show anything other than “Unknown.” I’ve done this about half a dozen different ways based on other posts in the forums, all to no avail. The latest process I’ve tried is:

  1. Install battery in tilt sensor and place on door.
  2. Plug in main unit.
  3. Press button 5 times to reset.
  4. Hold down button 7 seconds to reconnect to tilt sensor.
  5. Operator door manually (light on main unit flashes once and beeps, presumably to indicate that it connected to the tilt sensor).
  6. Pair to Smartthings hub (works fine - finds the Z-Wave Garage Door Opener in about 30 seconds)
  7. Replace default Device Type with this one: https://github.com/gouldner/SmartThingsPublic/blob/master/devicetypes/gouldner/rg-linear-gd00z-garage-door-opener.src/rg-linear-gd00z-garage-door-opener.groovy (also have tried the default, same problem)
  8. Open/close door manually with wall switch half a dozen times.
  9. Restart hub.
  10. Repeat 8.

I doubt that Lowe’s sent me two bad units, so I think I must be doing something wrong. Any thoughts? Thanks!
