2GIG Edge: Removing a Z Wave Device

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to remove a Z-Wave device from a 2GIG Edge Security System. This may also be referred to as clearing a Z-Wave device from the network. When you do this, all Z-Wave network data will be cleared from the Z-Wave device, and you will need to enroll it with a new Z-Wave network in order to continue using it. You can clear a Z-Wave device whether it is paired with the 2GIG Edge, paired with a different Z-Wave controller, or not paired with any Z-Wave network at all. You will still get a notification stating that a Z-Wave device has been cleared. A good practice when adding a new Z-Wave device is to clear it from the network first, in order to ensure that all Z-Wave network data is properly wiped out.

The 2GIG Edge has a Z-Wave Plus V2 controller inside. This is also known as a Z-Wave 700-Series controller. It's because of this module that you are able to pair Z-Wave devices with the system. Paired Z-Wave devices can be controlled locally at the panel, as well as remotely through Alarm.com. You can also include the paired Z-Wave devices with smart scenes so that they activate automatically based on a set schedule or with predetermined system events. All sorts of Z-Wave home automation devices can be paired with the system, including lighting modules, door locks, smart thermostats, and more.

Like most Z-Wave hubs, the 2GIG Edge is capable of supporting up to 232 unique Z-Wave devices. Each paired Z-Wave device is assigned its own node on the system. When you clear a Z-Wave device, that node becomes free, allowing you to pair a new Z-Wave device in its place. This may be necessary if you have a very large number of Z-Wave devices set up with the system. In addition to the 2GIG Edge Z-Wave device limit, the system's automation platform of Alarm.com also has its own smaller Z-Wave device limit of 122 Z-Wave devices.
