| Warning |

If you have an existing Generic Z-Wave Device it will need to be factory reset before it is connected to a Genius Hub. See manufacturer's instructions of how to do this. |
| Troubleshooting step |
|---|
Make sure that the device is powered on as per the manufacturer's instructions and 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 (see this link for how to connect the hub with a power-line ethernet adapter), If the device is mains powered you can also temporarily wire the device to a plug and short piece of flex so you can power on the device next to the Genius Hub if it is impossible to move the Genius Hub. Make sure that the device is in a factory reset state and is not linked to any other Z-Wave network. |

Go to the devices page (tap the 'Main Menu', then 'Settings', then 'Devices'). Tap on the ••• and then 'Ping' - this tells the hub that the Generic Z-Wave Device is not there as it will not reply to the ping. Tap on 'Remove Dead Node' - this will remove the Generic Z-Wave Device from the list.
Do not unplug the Genius Hub or power down the device for at least 30 minutes so the hub has time to save the new settings. |
