Does the mobile app have a Zwave exclusion utility?

Remove a device under each device’s settings. That starts the exclusion process.

Does it not have an exclusion utility like pretty much all other zwave hubs on the market?

Here is a use-case scenario:

Let’s say your existing hub dies and you buy the Homey Pro as a replacement. How do you exclude all of your existing devices to then re-pair them to your new hub?

The pairing process with Homey starts by reseting the device which in effect does the exclusion.
