Hi Everyone,

I am completely stumped and coming to THE HIVE MIND for help. I have a bunch of Linear Z-wave switches that I’ve been installing around my house. For the most part it’s going fine, but two of the switches are accessory switches - WT00Z - and I can’t seem to get them to pair with my Vivint panel. I’ve tried excluding them and the panel is just not recognizing their existence.

My suspicion is that these were paired up as slave switches in a past life (I did buy them second hand), and they need reset in some way to be pair-able with my Vivint System (and subsequently re-slaved in my set up - I have a minimote to do that, if I can get to that step)

Totally understand I’m working with some older technology here, but does anyone know how to hard reset these at the hardware, without having to use a controller? Because the Vivint panel just isn’t doing the job.

I do have the switches wired up correctly and have power to the WT00Z - The light is on green solid.

TIA.

    accessory switches, at least in th4 Jasco world, muat be paired to a primary zwave switch in a 3 or 4 way configuration. it uses low voltage signaling over the traveler rather than carrying the full load.

    the panel will only know about the primary as it controls the circuit.

      Yeah, I had jascos in my old house and they were easy. These do t have a traveler, you essentially run power to a switch with no load (the wt00z), add it to the mesh, then use either your hub or a tool called a minimote to assign it to its master.

      Negative. At least not that I can find. The switches in my old house could be reset with 6 quick taps on the top then bottom of the switch. I was hoping there was something similar for these Linears.

    The WT00Z is a basic Z-Wave scene control button that should work with any Z-Wave controller. Though I do not have experience with Vinit.

    The WT00Z can only be reset by Z-Wave Exclude. It would be my guess that the WT00Z is not properly Excluded.

    Put any Z-Wave controller in Exclude mode and tap the WT00Z. I don’t remember for sure, but a double tap may be necessary for the Include/Exclude on this device.

    After successfully excluding the WT00Z, you will need to perform an Include with your Vinit controller.
