Hi all, I hope I can place this question here and find some help. I am trying to add some fibaro rgbw led controller 2 to my network but I am unable to succeed. The inclusion process does not start when pressing the b button 3 times. Actually when pressing the b button 3 times a green led starts blinking on the controller. Pressing another 3 times a steady red led starts on the controller. In the meantime nothing is happening within the Fibaro app on homey pro. The controller is connected to a 24v power supply and a w led strip, including a switch. Anybody an idea why the controller is not adding to my network? Am I doing some wrong here? I tried 3 different controllers, all the same result. Thanks for the support! ![IMG_3371](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/f/bf1cc01c8a536268d899bb5a627aabcc0676f921.jpeg) ---

Before pressing the B button e times on the Fibaro RGBW Controller 2, you need to first put Homey into inclusion mode. Homey smartphone app. Either this way… - Devices → + → New device → Technology → Z-Wave …or this way… - Devices → + → New device → Suggested brands → Fibaro → Lamp → Fibaro RGBW Controller 2 …and then follow the instructions ---

Thanks DirkG for your reply. I have tried both ways, with Z-wave and Fibaro app, but both have failed. I have added multiple other devices without issue, e.g. Fibaro dimmer 2. Following the same way of working for the controller 2 apparently is not working for me. Maybe there is another step required for the RGBW controller 2 I am not aware of? Thanks! ---

This is what is in the manual stated: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/7/774788da8e5dd13a5c5064781de5950c2af80c35.png) So I think you did everything right. Have you ever restarted your Homey or even better, did a [PTP](https://community.homey.app/t/howto-ptp-on-homey-pro/17304)? Have you checked in [Developer Tools → Z-Wave](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zwave) if you have any unknown nodes? If so, try removing them first. Have you checked in Tools to see if you have any unknown nodes like this one? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/9/d9c6963d43a18a3e661cb7c330c2fe0989b160ae.png) If so, try to remove them first, restart your Homey, I think a software restart is enough, and then try to add the controller again. If it still doesn’t work, include the controller in close proximity to Homey, at a maximum distance of approximately 2 meters. ---
