[question] How do I add a new device via the UI?

[simplenotezy]

So I setup basic configuration, it uses my Z-Stick and I believe I can search for devices.

I have my Thermostat in my hand, and did a factory reset of the device, so I guess then it becomes "pairable". I then went to the UI and clicked "Add Node" and clicked yes to "Pair in security mode" (whatever this means?).

The "Controller Status" is then "AddDevice Completed", but the Node does not show up in the list. Only my Z-Stick is there. I am unsure how to proceed here.

Okay, so I went ahead and looked in the logs of the "npm start" command, and when adding a new device I see this:

Which I guess is positive.

Now the question remains; how do I make it appear as a node/devices in the list /// how do I control it?

Update:

I see the same output even if the device is turned off (e.g. batteries removed), so actually not sure what device it is finding.

@simplenotezy Using z2m requires at least a minimun knowledge about how zwave works. Anyway you have to put your device in inclusion mode and enable inclusion on the controller (throught the controller phisical button or by using 'Add Node' api) and then the device once successfully paried will appear on the ui. Also just enable security if your device support it and if you have set an encryption key on the zwave settings
