These devices require a network key to be set for the Z-Wave network before they are paired. This key is set in OpenZwave's `options.xml` which is located in OpenZWave's directory. This should also be the same directory as `config_path:` in your `configuration.yaml`. If it's not, make sure you have the same values in all the files you are using.

It is best to pair these devices in OpenZWave Control Panel or other Z-wave tool that can show you logs while pairing. Home Assistant show logs from zwave too and it is `OZW.log` in the Home Assistant config directory.

You should see communication from the node with lines starting with `info: NONCES` in `OZW.log` when the device is paired secure successfully. If you use Open Zwave Control Panel to pair, test the device before you save the configuration.
