Appear to be having issues adding MCO switches to the z-wave network. Thought it was just related to MCO gear to begin with, but now it seems to be with most devices. On the MCO devices the exclution and then inclusion sequence go to plan with the switch responding with the correct light sequence t…

[image] Rockhoppers: Homey was right beside the device (2 meter away) when adding. Adding devices has to be done as close as possible. I would advice 4-5 inches as max.

I have added many z-wave devices over the years i have been playing with home automation and have never heard of this small distance requirement before, and it surprises me.

There you should be able to see the steps Homey is taking during inclusion (if that hasn’t changed) then you can see in which st…

Finally ! Got them to add. One last thing to try that i read somewhere on forum, was to drop power to switches for 10 mins also and see if they reset. They did and they all added this time. Don’t know why that should work as they ahd all been reset, but it did. One to put down to experience ! Th…
