Hi,
I just installed a the following GE Z-Wave device to control a celing fan:

It it working fine manually as a single switch but for whatever ever I am unable to get my Echo Plus to detect the switch. I've attempted all the recommended troubleshooting steps - reset to factory default, pulled in and the air gap switch.
I'm hoping I'm just overlooking something but.no matter what I try I am unable to detect the switch. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Echo plus hub runs on ZigBee not zwave. So, it won't work due to incompatibility, I suppose. Next time buy a ZigBee device.

Asianrocker is correct. You will either need a z-wave gateway (hub) to have Alexa control the switch, or return it and look for another solution.
