To add a Z-Wave device to your system, go to the Services menu and select the `zwave` domain, and select the `add-node` service. Then find your device's add button and press that as well.

Some Z-Wave controllers like Aeotec ZW090 Z-Stick Gen5 have ability to add devices to the network using their own contol buttons. But this method should be avoided as it is error prone. Devices added to the Z-Wave network using this method may not function well. It is alway better to add new devices using Home Assistant Z-Wave panel.

Security Z-Wave devices require a network key before being added to the network using the `zwave.add_node_secure` service. You must set the *network_key* configuration variable to use a network key before adding these devices.
