Cannot get rid of a dead device

I had a Z-Wave switch installed and it worked find for about a year, then it stopped responding, it was device 010. Indigo labeled it as unresponsive or whatever. Today, I replaced that switch with a new one, did the define and sync and now that switch is replaced in the system.

However ....

I also installed two more switches, same brand and model and tried to sync those, but I cannot because ....

Code: Select all

   Z-Wave                          started controller inclusion mode
   Z-Wave                          stopped controller inclusion mode
   Z-Wave Error                    the node included has the same ID as a node already in use by Indigo

   Z-Wave Error                    Syncing - failed to assign return route
   Z-Wave Error                    Syncing - failed


I get those messages when I try to sync the new devices, I cannot exclude the device with 010 (it does not show up on the device list) because I've physically disconnected it and replaced it. I don't know how to proceed and I cannot pair new devices.

Help!

Check this: Remove Failed Device from Controller

That did it. I had not tried that option because I believed it would remove all of the modules I use for Christmas decorations, but it did not because the Indio device was still defined (or so I think).

Thanks!
