Firmware, Firmware updates and software upgrades
For information on updating your Z-Wave controller’s firmware and software, see this page .
Z-Wave networks and nodes are automatically updated over the air via a “push” of new code in your controller. This update is not available to the user, so there is no need to reset the controller and re-enter your Z-Wave network.
Factory reset vs exclusion
To reset your Z-Wave switch to its factory settings, you need to go into the app. This will erase all of the data that’s been saved to your device. In short, it’s a factory reset.
All the information about your switch will be lost. You will have to re-enter the network and devices.

In “Exclusion” mode, you can exclude a device from your Z-Wave network by tapping on the padlock icon.
If you don’t want to exclude the device, then follow these steps: Go into the app. Select your smart switch, then go into the settings.

Is there any way to reset your ZWave light switches without the manual?
When it comes to Z-Wave smart switches, there is no way to reset them without the manual. You’ll need one primary and one add-on switch to do this. Simply unplug the primary and plug in the add-on, wait for it to reboot, then proceed with your reset.
One Z-Wave primary and two add-ons are needed for 4-way. These devices allow controlling your lights remotely using a smartphone app.
Why is the name of my Z-Wave light switch different from the one in the manual?
The name of each device in the manual contains a serial number that uniquely identifies it. The serial number on your switch will be different from the one in the manual.
