*I sit next to my Vera3: (version 1.5.408)
*Tried both : “Add ZWave devices, like light switches, door locks, thermostats, etc”. but also “Advanced Z-Wave devices”
*Pressed all 4 buttons on the chain controller, initially the first second I recieve 3 fast red blinks, which indicate a failure. but than after about 5 seconds I get a steady slow blink. Which should be “managment mode”.
*press button 3 >> I get failure (3 fast blinks),I also tried after managment mode button 1,2 & 4 , but all give the same result.
Did you first put Vera in exclusion mode, then did the appropriate thing on the key fob? Did you see any message on the Dashboard that Vera detected the device when you did the exclusion.
@ oTi@ : I don’t think I pit vera in exclusion mode… I also read some interesting things about a wrong manual… I will try again tonight. Thanks for the reply and link. I missed that thread somehow
no joy, I tried to exclude the device. First time i clicked the Z-wave button 3 seconds, which had the led on the vera 3 flash very fast . I pressed the 4-buttons on the remote 5 seconds, I got a steady blinking light, pressed button nr 3 and recieved the 3 fast blinks “saying failure”.
Just to be sure I also did it via the vera 3 interface on the computeras well, “add devices” >> advanced devices >>exclude, one,any >> go. Pressed again the 4 buttons at the same time,when I get a steady blink after 5 seconds, i shortly press number 3 … again the 3 fast blinks saying failure.
Nevertheless I tried including the device again: add devices >> “Add ZWave devices, like light switches, door locks, thermostats, etc.”>> option 1. pressing the 4 buttons on the key at the same time , after a steady light press button number 3. After a couple of seconds a get the failure light again . Nothing included…
There is no unknown device , or keyfob, at least nowhere that i can see al least . So for me it makes perfectly sence the vera3 could not exclude anything.
Could there still be some info from the keyfob somewhere without me knowing? … everytime I included the device , the vera told me there was nothing to include.
The vera3 interface says somwthing like “0 devices removed”
Including and excluding should be the same procedure if I understand teh instructions correctly.
press the 4 buttuns at the same time , after the steady light (about 5 seconds) press button 2.
Well, if Vera appears to be working fine with other Z-Wave devices / you can (re-)include other devices just fine, there might be something wrong with the key fob.
Is there a way to reset it? Folks also reported problems with the battery holder (see the the master thread); although it doesn’t necessarily sound like that’s what you’re experiencing.
The vera3 works fine woth other devices… Ihave included without any problems so far , 3 fibaro relais, 2 wall plugs , danfos thermostate and everspring temperature sensor.
According the manual “excluding the device setsthe kfob back to factory setting”
I made last night a very boring video , 7 minutes of pushing buttons and waiting for nothing to happen. lthough it is HD … quality is crap
For the people who are curious or want me to help:
First I tried to exclude the device 2 times, but the result was the same on both occasions “0 null were removed” than i tried 2 times to include this device…“no new devices found” :-s
I Gave up.
Send the device back , and also the shop where I bough it couldn’t activate the device … “DOA”. I was thinking of getting another one , but instead I opted for the AON Labs minimote … this one installs very easy …
Thanks for your help,
