Intermatic ha03c Factory Reset

[lmosenko]

Hi Everyone.

I have recently got POd and reset my ST Hub v1. Now I am stuck with a problem.

I have 2 perfectly good Intermatic HA03C Z-wave lamp modules and don’t know how to reset them to Factory Default so that I can repair them with my ST hub; and still want to use them. Can anyone share if they encountered this same issue and how to solve this? I really don’t want to toss them out.

as long as you still have your smartthings hub to can still run a z-wave exclude while you turn on/off the lamp modules. you should be able to add them back afterwards.

I completely reset my hub v1. The ST Support helped me factory reset all.

Yep, so did i for my own reasons… its why i know it will work This is how you do it and it will work for any zwave device.

Deleting device from previous controller

Note that you can also do it with the SmartThings hub (though it needs to be in direct range of the device). Just start Z-Wave exclusion mode from the Z-Wave utilities, available on the developer tools web UI from the hub details > Utilities > Z-Wave Exclude or in the app in Location settings > Hub > Z-Wave Utilities > General Device Exclusion (yeah pretty buried but has a better UI than the web one). It is a weird aspect of the Z-Wave protocol. Since they can’t be guaranteed that you will still have access to your previous controller, any controller at all can exclude a device. So if someone is standing outside your house with a Z-Wave remote in exclude mode and you press the program button on a device, it will be deleted from your network.
