I thought I unpaired the device from my old hub before installing the new V2 Hub, but I can’t get it to pair.
I tried everything. Anyone have a process for pair it?
A quick google search for “Fs20z-1 manual” turned up this page with the instructions for pairing/excluding:
http://www.nortekcontrol.com/pdf/manuals/FS20Z1_manual.pdf
This looks almost exactly like my LFM-20. The exclude process was a complete pain. It took me (literally) a few dozen attempts to get them to exclude. The timing required in the tap-tap-tap-hold process seems to be… picky.
Thank You. I got it working abs paired.
Now I am confused…I have a multi sensor to let me know when the garage door is open and closed. I changed that in the IDE to a garage multi sensor button. But when I press the multi sensor button, nothing happens
What if you hit the relay button? That’s the device that’s actually controlling the door.
This is a known limitation with the new version of the app:
I have the Linear GD00Z-4 and it took a while to connect it to Hub 2.0. I could do an exclusion on it and reset the Linear perfectly okay, but it would not connect. I uninstalled it and tried it right next to the hub and it made no difference. I tried maybe 30-40 times during the course of a day with no luck. Tried it again yesterday and it connected first time!
FWIW It shows up as a garage door and works perfectly.
I’m running into the same issue with this FS20 while upgrading to the V2 hub.
I try the three taps then hold method to exclude it after using the aeon minimote with it but I can’t get it to work!
What a pain!
I finally got mine to work. I actually went into the zwave utilities from the ios app and put it in exclusion mode. Then pressed the button on the linear 4 times really fast after plugging it in and it was excluded. Then I was able to add it without issue.
I’m trying that but it doesn’t seem to work.
Does the app or the relay provide some confirmation when excluded?
Finally! I used the aeon minimote to exclude the FS20z. I like using the aeon because I get a led light confirmation from the remote. Afterwards I was able to add it to smartthings using several button presses while in “connect” mode.
What a painful experience!
Just to help any others out who come across this issue, I had to put the hub into exclusion mode, then power cycle the FS20Z-1 and then I tapped the button twice very very fast and it worked every time (I had three of these relays to deal with!)
Thanks!
@dclauson_elytus Thank you very much!
Like many others, I had fiddled with this thing for far too long! Adding this reply to confirm @dclauson_elytus 's tip:
Exclusion process for NORTEK / GoControl FS20Z-1 (after entering exclusion mode on your hub)
Four taps total, the first two slow (maybe 0.5 sec. each), the second two as fast as you can!
manual says, “tapping the button three times, then press and hold”
