TROUBLE SHOOTING

</big>
−
If your device does not pair, here are some potential culprits:
 
−
 
 
−
#'''Is your device compatible?''' Hubitat Elevation includes Z-Wave and Zigbee radios that work with most Zigbee and Wave devices. Check this list of known compatible devices. Devices running on different protocols, such as Lutron, require a bridge that must be paired using an integration app.
 
−
 
 
−
#'''Is your device out of range?''' Z-wave and Zigbee radios have a limited range that is further reduced by obstructions, included metal, wood and drywall. It is important to build out a mesh network that includes plugged-in devices that act as repeaters and boost the range and signal strength of your hub.
 
−
 
 
−
#'''Is it a Z-Wave device from another hub?''' Unless it is a new device, Z-Wave devices must be excluded from their previous hub before they can be paired with a new hub. To do this you will need to open up your old hub UI and follow the Z-Wave exclude procedure. Anytime you want to unplug or remove a Z-Wave device it is important run run a Z-Wave exclude first.

#'''Is the device battery dead?''' Try pairing with a fresh battery.
