I have over 50 Leviton ZWave DZ6HD Dimmers that I am trying to add to a Aeotec Hub v3. Out of about the 50 only 3 added as “local” to the hub and got a Device Network ID. The others show up as “placeholder” devices with no Device Network ID and are shown as “cloud” thus the drivers cannot be changed and they do work slower. This is weird as the 3 that connected correctly are some of the furthest from the hub. I have tried deleting through the IDE login and factory resetting them as they cannot be “excluded” through the normal ZWave exclusion process because they are technically not shown as connected to the hub. I also tried just logging into the IDE and adding my own Device ID and selecting the hub but it says “Access Denied”. Any solution or tricks to get these added correctly. ---

The IDE is part of the old architecture and doesn’t have all the information about devices added with edge drivers. Anything that says “placeholder“ there may have an accurate or incomplete information, but it should still function fine. And even though it says “cloud“ if it’s using an edge driver it is local. It’s just the IDE that is wrong. so none of that should be an issue for you. > [@FAQ: Why does the IDE list “placeholder” for my device? Can I change that?](https://community.smartthings.com/t/faq-why-does-the-ide-list-placeholder-for-my-device-can-i-change-that/231072): > > non-technical answer: the IDE is part of the old groovy based architecture. It will be going away and be replaced with something else. in the meantime, anything which is using the new architecture will be represented in the IDE with “placeholder“ under the device type column. This includes devices using an Edge Driver. Since new edge drivers are being added overtime, it may even be that a device which is the same model number as a device you previously added which used a groovy DTH is now using an Edge driver and so shows up as placeholder. Don’t change it! Once the device is using an integration from the new architecture, you can no longer get to its code details through the IDE, And changing it to a different device type may break the integration altogether. scream If you need to cha… It is surprising that you had any devices still add with the DTH instead of a placeholder, though, if they really are all the same model (and have the same fingerprint) 🤔 Also note that it is important that you not try to make changes through the IDE to a device that is using “placeholder“ – – that could break the integration altogether. 😥 As far as devices being slower now… is it possible that one of the devices that didn’t show “placeholder“ was acting as an important repeater in your system? And here’s some more information on the various utilities that are available for the new architecture so far. [FAQ: I have no idea what Edge is. Is that a new developer tool? (2022)](https://community.smartthings.com/t/faq-i-have-no-idea-what-edge-is-is-that-a-new-developer-tool-2022/237775) I believe you will still be able to do a Z wave exclude through the app, but someone else will have to say for sure. 🤔 @jkp ---

Ok then it must be some other issue causing some dimmers to run slower then others. ---

Here’s how to exclude from the app: > [@Life after the IDE: Questions and Answers](https://community.smartthings.com/t/life-after-the-ide-questions-and-answers/250780/4): > > You can exclude the Z-Wave device using the App. Click on your Hub tile, then in a menu (three dots) select Settings and then Z-Wave utilities → Z-Wave exclusion. TBH I even didn’t know it was also possible in IDE slight_smile ---

I have tried this but it does not remove the dimmer for some reason it just says excluding and then fails. Since the IDE interface is obsolete is there a login for the Edge interface? ---

I know in the Groovy IDE interface you can click on a device and see its route back to the hub. Is this possible with Edge? ---

It doesn’t appear so.
