Removing your Outdoor Smart Plug from a Z-Wave network.
Your Outdoor Smart Plug can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You’ll need to use your Z-Wave network’s main controller to do this.

2. 2x tap the button on Outdoor Smart Plug.
Reset your Outdoor Smart Plug.
If the primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the device to factory settings.
Make sure the product is powered. If not, plug it into a wall socket and power it on. To complete the reset process manually:
- Press and hold the Action Button for at least 20 seconds and then release.
- The LED indicator will fade its blue light in and out slowly, which indicates the reset operation is successful.
- This should send a signal to your hub that its been reset and the hub should automatically remove it from its network (some hubs may not support this).
