Wayne Dalton Thermostat - Can't Remove

Other Devices & Integrations Climate Control & Temperature Sensors

My original Vera died, so I am reluctantly replacing it with a Vera 2.

I am in the process of re-learning all the Z-Wave devices and I can’t get my Thermostats to learn to the Vera.

They both indicate that they are connected to another Z-Wave network (my original Vera).

I’m assuming that because they show connected, this is the reason they won’t join the new Vera.

Any ideas how to force it to dump the previous association?

I have tried resetting it, but it didn’t work.

The Thermostat manual says it needs to be removed from the controller it’s currently paired to, but we know what that issue is…

Thoughts?

did you try to exclude it before including? follow the exclude procedure as if it was added to the current vera…

As @capjay said, try excluding from your new Vera. Exclusion should work from any primary controller, presumably for situations such as yours.

That worked, thanks all.

PS, I’m frustrated with the Battery Pack, I can’t get it to power up the Vera. I let it charge for a week.

I have to manually plug in the Vera, take it to each device while plugged into a wall outlet just to get the devices learned.

Any ideas?

Great!

The instruction sheet can be more fun than the battery pack... There's something counter intuitive about charging it; did you have the switch on or off? Personally, I never use the battery pack. Most of the time I can get away with full-power inclusion (under [tt]Add Devices[/tt] > [tt]Advanced Z-Wave[/tt] devices).

If I recall, doesn’t the battery back switch need to be on the on state for it to charge correctly? I have for the most part always used full power inclusion. This allowed me not to have to power down Vera. There are some cases where I had to locate the vera unit close to a device to include (leviton scene controllers and intermatic ca3000 switches).

Right, that might be it. I just dug up the V3 battery pack and hooked it up. With the switch in the ON position, the charging(?) LED, the green one, on the power supply comes on.
