Pairing LZW30 problem with HA

hi all,

I am just getting started with the concept of home automation, so my question may be trivial to you. I would appreciate any help you can provide as I am currently struggling with it for a while.

I am in the process of changing most, if not all, switches at my house with Inovelli Z-wave Dimmer Switch (Black). I am using Armbian with HA 0.114.2. These Black dimmer switch were not natively supported (showed up as Inovelli Unknown, type-0003, id=0001), so I had to incorporate lzw31.xml that I found in this forum into my HA. The 1st of many paired just fine and I can control and change the setting of this dimmer switch in HA.

However, when I tried to pair the 2nd dimmer switch (after healing the network), it didn’t show up in HA. I think pairing went well because the LED bar turned green. However, under HD->configuration->Integrations->z-wave, the supposedly newly-paired dimmer switch does not show up: the number of paired devices remain unchanged.

Here is the log from HA. I understand this is not a HA forum but I wasn’t getting much help from HA community (on a different but related problem: looks like z-wave is not a priority within HA). I hope you can tell me if this is a Inovelli problem (did I pair it right?), or this is a HA problem, so I can start the debugging process. Also, I could NOT unpair it: the unpairing process always end up with LED bar being red.

I purchased these Inovelli dimmer switch from amazon.ca new.

any help is very much appreciated,
