Question

Trying to add an ecolink z wave open close sensor to smartthings and it says I need a hub? What did I do wrong? Is smartthings not a z wave hub?  

Answer 1

I have 8 of them, they work with ST. Make sure you are pairing it correctly.

Also used the manual add by brand lookup

And the scan

Answer 2

Add device in st. Turn on network inclusion on ecolink(light blinking), then either scan or manually add by brand lookup. Scan fails to find anything. Lookup says I need a hub

Answer 3

Yes it is a Zwave hub.

@ghiselin I would check the IDE first. Look at the logs. Check other Zwave devices. Try rebuilding your Zwave network. Try exclusion

This is my first and only z wave device. Still trying

Answer 4

Try zwave exclusion and then attempt to pair.
