Hey everyone, I recently removed a Zigbee device from the Homey mobile app, and now I can’t re-add it. I’ve put the device into pairing mode (confirmed via blinking light), but Homey doesn’t see it during the pairing process. I’ve already tried restarting the Homey hub, but no luck. Has anyone experienced this before or have suggestions on what else I can try? Thanks in advance! ---

Is the device, that you are trying to pair, within sufficient reach (few meters) of your Homey or another powered Zigbee device that is connected to your Homey? ---

I wonder if the device is still somewhere hidden in dev tools? ---
