Replacing Failed Z-Wave Devices - Z-Wave Control4 Setup Manual

Replacing failed Z-Wave devices

3 If the communication attempt fails, the device will be removed from the
network and will not be tracked as a Z-Wave node by the Z-Wave
controller. Be aware that this device must now be reset to defaults before
using the device again within the system. See the manufacturer's
instructions for more information.
If a Z-Wave device has become lost or inoperable so that a physical button
press cannot be performed to remove it from the network, the Replaced Failed
option is provided. Replace Failed is used to force a Z-Wave device off of the
network and prompt the user for a replacement. The new device can be either
the same type or different.
This option allows you to replace a Z-Wave device and preserve the same Node
ID. This can be useful if you have some direct device associations done between
Z-Wave devices. It is not needed for most Control4 systems.
Important! Do not use this option if the device is operational. See

The controller will make one last attempt to communicate with the Z-Wave
device. If the device successfully communicates, the Replace Failed will not
proceed and the device must be removed using the Remove button
instead. Remove the device according to the manufacturer's instructions,
usually by pressing the Z-Wave button.
If the communication attempt fails, the device will be removed from the
mesh and will not be tracked as a Z-Wave node by the Z-Wave controller.
