Did you try pairing the door sensor near Homey ( 1 meter). Door sensors are battery powered and don’t have such great range by themselves. So pairing them is best done near Homey after that you can add it to the place you want. But keep in mind that the range is not so great so it would be best to have some other zwave devices in between ( non battery powered) so the door sensor can communicate over the mesh network that is created ---

And just to be sure, you did remove the piece of cardboard in the module between a contact and the battery? If so, if you delete them from homey’s settings - \> zwave - \> remove device, do you get the message it was removed/reset? ---

Exclude them from Homey, wait 10 minutes and then include again. ---

You figured this out? Have the same problem. Edit: Fixed, multiple presses on the action button while inclusion. ---

I see, I was trying for 45 minutes, then multiple presses for 30 seconds (not in the manual), and then voila! Sensor probably times out in the inclusion process with only one press. ---
