Troubleshooting
Having issues pairing your device?
- Move your Sensor within 4 - 10 ft of your Hubitat Z-Wave network.
- Remove power from TriSensor 8 for 1 minute, then power it up again.
- Try factory resetting or removing your TriSensor 8.
- Remove / Factory Reset first in case the device is paired to Hubitat otherwise, it will leave a phantom device in your network that will be difficult to remove.
- Perform a manual factory reset - only do this if you are not able to perform the removal steps above.
- Press and hold the Action Button for 12+ seconds, we recommend holding it longer than 12 seconds just in case. Once you release the button, the LED will flash red/green upon a successful manual factory reset.
