A Z-Wave repeating device is any non-battery-operated Z-Wave device within the network. Battery powered Z-Wave devices do not repeat signals. They are referred to as end devices, whereas Z-Wave repeating devices are referred to as routers. When a security-enabled Z-Wave device is added to the Hubitat Elevation™ network, its communication will utilize 128-bit AES secure encryption.

===About Z-Wave technology===
+
</big>
The Z-Wave protocol is a low powered wireless interoperable RF communications technology designed specifically for control, monitoring and status of residential and light commercial Internet of Things devices. It supports full mesh networking and may be used with or without a coordinator node (Hub). Z-Wave operates in the sub-1GHz band and is impervious to interference from Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies in the 2.4 GHz range such as Bluetooth® and ZigBee. For a more information about Z-Wave technology, please visit [https://www.z-wave.com/ www.z-wave.com]
 
 
 
===Remove a Z-Wave device from the network===
 
Prior to adding devices to the Z-Wave network of your hub, it is required that you first '''Exclude''' the device from any previous networks is has joined. This may be accomplished by performing a Z-Wave Exclude to remove the device from the Z-Wave network of the controller it formerly joined. However, it is not required that you perform this step using the previous controller. If the previous controller is unavailable or it is not convenient to perform Z-Wave Exclusion using the former controller, a '''General Exclusion''' may be performed from the Hubitat Elevation™ hub.

It will be joined to the Hubitat Elevation™ hub with the same '''nodeId''' as the failed device.
 
 
 
===Remove a failed Z-Wave node===
 
 
 
====Remove Failed Node  - Removing a failed node on the network====
 
Any node the Hubitat Elevation™ hub cannot reach using routing and explorer frames is considered to be failed or non-responsive. Sleeping nodes types such as motion and contact sensors can be considered as failing after missing more than 2 consecutive Wake Up periods. Users may choose to remove the failed node.
 
 
 
1. Choose the '''Z-Wave Details''' button from your Hubitat Web Interface home page or from the kabob menu at the top right.
 
 
 
2. Pressing the '''Remove''' button where available will remove a node marked '''FAILED''' from the Hubitat Elevation™ Z-Wave network. Only nodes that have failed will display the '''Remove''' button.
 
 
 
3. A node that has an entry in the hub database, but is non-responsive may be '''Force Removed''' from the Hubitat Web Interface '''Device details''' page. However, if a device is '''Force Removed,''' it will leave a node entry in the Hubitat Elevation™ Z-Wave Radio Devices list. Automatic daily maintenance will remove entries that have no association in the hub database. The user may choose to manually remove the "ghost" entry by following '''steps 1-2''' above.
 
 
 
===Repair a failed Z-Wave node===
 
'''Discover a Failed Node  - Adding a failed node to the hub database'''
 
 
 
If a node has failed or was powered off, and the user '''Force Removed''' it from the Hubitat Web Interface '''Device details''' page, it can be useful to '''Discover''' the device again and add it back into the hub database. The '''Discover''' button will not appear in the Hubitat Web Interface unless the node is marked '''FAILED''' and no entry exists in the hub database.
 
 
 
1. Choose the '''Z-Wave Details''' button from your Hubitat Web Interface home page or from the kabob menu at the top right.
 
 
 
2. Pressing the '''Discover''' button where available on a node that is marked '''FAILED''' will place the hub into '''Inclusion Mode''', interrogate the device, assign it a driver, and add the node into the Hubitat Elevation™ database, where it will again appear in the '''Devices''' list.
 
 
 
===Z-Wave Region Selection===
 
 
 
====Z-Wave Region - Select the applicable region for your country and licensed Z-Wave device type====
 
Selecting the Z-Wave Region drop-down menu will allow the user to specify which licensed Z-Wave frequency applicable for their country should be used by the hub for Z-Wave radio communication. Only devices licensed to operate in your country should be used. It is not possible for the hub to operate on more than one Z-Wave frequency at a time.
