Troubleshooting step

First power on the device as per the manufacturer's instructions within 2 meters (line of sight) of the Genius Hub. You may need to move the Genius Hub closer to the device, the hub needs to be both plugged into the power and also the internet.

If the devices are not close enough together, then use the following steps:

1. Move the Genius Hub closer to the Z-Wave device. The Genius Hub must have power and an Internet connection. This can be done by:

a) Use a long Ethernet cable
b) Plug the Hub into a different Ethernet switch
c) Use a Power Line Ethernet adapter or WiFi booster which has an Ethernet port

2. Temporarily wire the Z-Wave device to a plug and short piece of flex so you can power on the Z-Wave device next to the Genius Hub. It is recommended that this is done by an electrician/heating engineer.

Make sure that the Z-Wave device is in a factory reset state and is not linked to any other Z-Wave network.
