I am having trouble getting Ecolink Z-Wave Plus Smart Switch Single Toggle (STLS2-ZWAVE5) to connect to my V3 Smartthing Hub.
I am following the directions and have tried restarting my Hub too, but no matter what, my Hub (IM6001-V3P01) just will not see or connect to this device (Ecolink STLS2-ZWAVE5). Reviews on Amazon and multiple folks say it should connect, no problem. But not mine. No way, no how. I was going to try setting up a custom device handler, but I’m a noob at that and can’t really find any posts on that specific thing for this specific device. Can anyone help?

Have you tried excluding it before trying to pair it?

Hello thanks. No I haven’t tried excluding it before pairing. I actually am not sure how to do that. How to do that?

Put your hub in exclusion mode and then activate the pairing mode on your device.

Put hub on exclusion mode. Go to: hub tile in app > 3 dots in upper right > settings > Z-Wave utilities > Z-Wave exclusion

Network Inclusion:
The Z-Wave Plus Smart Switch must be added to a Z-Wave Plus network prior to use. To include the device in a network both the device and the network controller must be in inclusion mode at the same time. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your specific controller for details on initiating the controller’s
inclusion mode.

  1. Verify that the Z-Wave Plus controller you are using is compatible
    with the Z-Wave Plus Smart Switch.
  2. Put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into add (inclusion) mode.
  3. Press the inclusion / exclusion button on the Z-Wave Plus Smart Switch.
  4. The LED on the front of the unit will turn off if network inclusion is successful.

Network Exclusion:

  1. Any Z-Wave Plus Device can be removed from any Z-Wave Plus controller. Follow the directions to put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into exclusion mode.
  2. Press the inclusion / exclusion button on the Z-Wave Plus SmartSwitch.
  3. The LED in front of the unit will blink steadily if the network exclusion is successful.
