Unlike other devices, removal of Z-wave devices require Hubitat Elevation™ to be placed in "exclusion" mode*. Excluding Z-wave devices you wish to remove is extremely important. Failure to exclude a Z-Wave device before removing it can slow your hub down as it is constantly searching for it. You will also not be able to add the device to another network until it is excluded here.

To Remove a Z-Wave Device

  1. Click on the Settings link in your Hubitat Web Interface
  2. Click on the Z-Wave Information button
  3. Click on the Z-Wave Exclude button
  4. The hub is now ready to exclude your device. Follow the procedure in your device user manual to put the device in exclusion mode.
  • Note: this process requires access to the physical device and the device must be within range of Hubitat Elevation™ hub. If your device has permanently failed, the hub will present the option to Force Exclude, which will allow you to remove it from the hub.

Removal of other devices:

  1. Click on the Devices link in your Web Interface
  2. Click on the device you wish to remove
  3. Scroll down and click the Remove button
  4. Click Done to confirm that you wish to remove the device

Your device has now been permanently removed from the system, but you can add the device again later if you desire.
