Sometimes the inclusion process fails and there are a few troubleshooting steps that you can take to ensure the maximum success for during the inclusion process.

Make sure that the Z-Stick Gen5 and the Z-Wave device you are attempting to include are running the same network:
ZW090-A is US frequency
ZW090-B is AU frequency
ZW090-C is EU frequency

If the steps below do not work, more than likely there are some issues with the device that you are trying to include, or the method of inclusion.

First Do an Exclusion or Unpair to a Z-Wave device (this also factory resets products)
This ensures that all the network information in a Z-Wave device is completely wiped, this should be done after every failed inclusion process, or before you add a new device.

1) Press and hold down the Z-Stick Gen5 button until it blinks yellow rapidly

2) Tap the button on the Z-Wave device you want to factory reset

The LED on the Z-Stick Gen5 should confirm a successful factory reset on a Z-Wave device by become solid blue.

3) Now tap the button on the Z-Stick Gen5 to take it out of exclusion/unpair mode

Now pair/include the device to your network
You've ensured that the Z-Wave device you want to add is completely factory reset, try pairing the device to your network.

4) Tap the Z-Stick Gen5 button, the LED should now blink blue

5) Tap the button on the Z-Wave Z-Wave device that you want to add.

The LED on the Z-Stick Gen5 should blink blue rapidly for a bit, then become solid blue if successful, or solid red if unsuccessful.

If unsuccessful, return to step 1.

Otherwise, you have successfully paired your Z-Wave device to your Z-Stick Gen5 network.


Setting your Z-Stick into Primary Controller Mode using Zensys Tool

If you are facing another issue where the Z-Stick can no longer be put into inclusion mode via its button press or software it may have somehow entered itself into secondary controller mode, then you will need to set your Z-Stick back into primary mode. You can achieve this using the Zensys tool which can be found here: https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/6000110204-zensys-tool

1) Open up the Zensys Tool

2) Make sure to close any program or software linked to the Z-Stick

3) Connect the Zensys tool to your Z-Stick

4) Highlight your Z-Stick Node which should be NodeID  = 1 (ID = 1)

5) Then click on "Set as SUC" as seen in the image below


6) Now try including a device into your Z-Stick.
