How to reset GE ZWave switches to factory defaults for paddle switch models 12742, 12723, and 12724.
The z-wave protocol specifies you can only connect to one hub at a time. I started out with all my switches connected to Samsung Smartthings hub, then switched over to Hassio running on a raspberry Pi 3, and connecting via an aeotec gen5 z-stick. I lean on the Alexa and Google Home voice controls pretty heavily, so I decided to switch back over to the Smartthings hub. To do this, I had to reset to factory defaults.
I couldn't find much documentation for the GE Z-wave resets. I found this fix in the Smartthings forum. Here's the original comment that helped me figure it out:
