Hi all!
While trying to troubleshoot why my recessed Z-Wave lights are not working anymore, I screwed a couple of them up to the point that when I finally found a driver that made some of them work again, left others ‘dead’.
To explain: All of my recessed lights are GoControl LB65R6Z-1 and worked fine before Edge as dimmer switches. End of June they stopped working and were shown as offline in the app.
I played around with some of them, resetting, removing, etc. before I finally figured they needed a new driver. By that time I had force removed three and played around with 3 more.
After a good soul added my device IDs (014F/4C42/3133) to their driver, 6 of the lights I left completely alone worked perfectly fine again.
The 3 that I just played around with, but didn’t remove, stayed in ‘offline’ even after updating the driver and the three force removed ones I can’t re-add anymore…
I then force removed the other three ‘offline’ devices as well, tried the z-wave exclusion through the hub (‘no devices excluded’… ) and, you guessed it, re-adding is not working either.
The instructions for the lights say:
To Reset Unit (If Required)
In the event that your primary controller is lost or otherwise inoperable, to reset
the fixture and clear all network information, follow these steps:
- Use the wall switch to turn the power to the fixture OFF then ON four times
within four seconds. - The LB65R6Z-1 will flash twice when the reset occurs.
For removal it says:
Removing from a network:
The LB65R6Z-1 can be removed from the network by the Controller/Gateway.
Refer to the Controller operating instructions for details.
- Set the Controller into Removal Mode, and follow its instruction to delete the
LB65R6Z-1 from the Controller. - Reset the fixture by using the wall switch to turn the power to the fixture ON.
The LB65R6Z-1 will flash twice to confirm the removal.
I tried both of them, the HUB keeps saying nothing got removed when trying the removal. The lights don’t flash twice either though after turning the switch to on.
The lights DO flash twice after 4 times toggle though, but they still don’t get found when I try the generic z-wave device scan or the regular ‘scan for devices’.
Does anyone have any tips for me how I can get my lights added again?
