Cant seem to add devices any more, just get an eternally spinning “adding device” dialog, if I exit out the device is not shown on the app, and if I try to re-add I get “already added”. I can “remove” (from z-wave dialog) and re start the process but the end result is always the same :’( // Michael Medin ---

seems like you need to ‘delete’ the device from homey first. (maybe a faulty pairing caused it) Got to settings, zwave, remove a zwave device --\> set device in pairing mode… After it got gemoved, try to add it again… ---

Did you already perform a PtP (pull the plug for 12 minutes)? Sometimes the Z-wave and/or Zigbee networks are not loaded correctly after a warm start. PtP should solve that. ---

I have done that numerous times, always ends up the same next time I add it again… ---

I had some kind of same issue yesterday with pairing Fibaro button. I had to remove device. There was A message to hold the button very close to Homey. The distance between button and Homey was 2nd time approx 10 cm. Second attempt did pair the button correctly. ---
