Examined Steps (following official WALLI Controller documentation):

1)      Setting the main Z-Wave Controller to addidng mode.

2)      Quickly pressed one of the buttons (response is red light)  (I suppose it is the normal button, I didnt notice any hidden button under the cover)

3)      Waiting 30 seconds, tryied to press both buttons and on the HCL3 is never any repsonse in logs, the device is not added. Also noticed that 3x quick press + 1 long press leads to green flashing -  as well with no any response.
Battery was checked and is OK (3.6V). Distance between Controller and HCL3 is 1 meter.

Noice: The Walli Controller was already paired to some other device, the device I bought was unpacked and returned to shop, before I bought it. Possibly some reset might be required?

 

Thank you for your help.

    Recommended steps:

    0) set HC3 to learning mode

    1) 3x quick clicks on WALLI Controller (if not working, try the other button) 

    2) press and hold button for couple of seconds until the color is green

    3) release and confirm by click

     

    3) release and click to confirm

    Hi @radoneyour link to a manual is not from fibaro. It is almost never a good idea to use a third party user manual. The fibaro online user manual for the walli controller is

    Please login or register to see this link.

     

    Hi @sigharenAfter reading your post, just this morning, I've excluded a walli controller from a hc3l > included to a hc2 > exluded from hc2 > included to hc3l again. Successfully without any problems.

     

    First, If you want to include / exclude or reset a zwave device, you have to know the current status of it. Meaning included or excluded to a zwave controller.

     

    AFIK all fibaro zwave devices with a LED, have the following behavior:

    When put in the battery, or connect it to a power supply, the LED lights up green shortly, if connected to a controller, and red if not connected to controller.

     

    If it lights up green and you can't not see the device in your fibaro homecenter. The next step is to exlude it from the controller. Even if the zwave device was never included to your fibaro homecenter, you use the exlude process. (Wish I knew this some years ago, when I started with zwave devices, it would have saved me lots of time and frustrations trough all the years)

     

    Back to the walli controller, it has quite a strange exlude and reset sequence. You need follow strictly to the steps in the manual, waiting the mentioned seconds to be succesfull.

    Be aware, if you have to exclude or reset the walli controller, other colors will flash up trough the process, than mentioned in the user manual.

     

    The fibaro walli controller has become my favorit zwave device, it is really usefull and can do a lot.
