The goal was to wipe all Z-Wave network data including paired devices and the Home ID. Unlike the older Gen5 sticks, the Gen7 does not have a physical reset button. The reset must be performed via Z-Wave Serial API commands. NOTE: This procedure erases all network data from the controller including the node list, routing tables, and Home ID.
