I have installed a GE Duplex Receptacle 45605 in my garage and have not had any luck getting it added to my Vera 2. The instructions that came with it provide no direction on how to program it. I have not had any luck finding instructions on the Internet.
I am within 3’ when I press Zwave button on my Vera 2 and then I press and release the “manual/program button” on the receptacle. My Vera 2 Zwave light never flashes quickly acknowledging that it sees it. When I connect to the Vera 2 dashboard, the device is not present. I have also tried the same sequence but holding the button on the receptacle and still do not get any results. I am wondering if may have a defective receptacle. I do have several other devices connected to my Vera 2 successfully. Any suggestions before I return it?
Is the blue led on the receptacle on? If not, press the manual button. Does it turn on now? Try plugging something in to the non-controlled to see if it has power. If you have power there, but never get the blue led, it may be defective. (Note that the blue led is on when the z-wave outlet is off.)
Try excluding the device first.
Two other ways to include it, get a long ethernet cable so you can see what is going on or remove the receptacle, install it somewhere closer to Vera where you can do a full power inclusion. Then relocate it back to its final position.
