I just deleted an unknown z-wave node from the [developer.athom.com](http://developer.athom.com) page. It needed a few retries with request failed and timeouts, but eventually the unknown node disappeared. ---

Press on the 3 dots at the right. At the unknown node, I had the option “remove”. ---

It doesn’t show up at most nodes here, but it also shows at a few battery powered devices and at a known powered node that has an unknown last route. ---

Which Homey firmware do you have? I know for sure that prior to 1.5.3. this option was available but it disappeared with 1.5.3. ---

I upgraded to 2.0.4 today, and my two unknown nodes were removable by clicking on the three dots. The fifth option in the drop-down menu was in fact remove, as some have stated above to be an option for some of us… Worked perfectly, first attempt and all;) ---

I also did not see the 3 dots at first (iPad browser). When I scrolled the panel to the far right, more appeared, including the 3 dots. After 4 attempts the node was removed 😀 ---

Could someone close this topic? Because we are now talking in circles here. I said I can’t remove the device because I don’t have the remove option. I own the homey now for some years so I know how stuff works. Also Tony stated I was solved for him 26 days ago. ---
