## Resetting a Z-Wave controller
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended to back up your Z-Wave network before resetting the device.
|
||||
|
||||
- The controller will forget all devices it is paired with.
|
||||
- All Z-Wave devices for this network will be removed from Home Assistant.
|
||||
- If there are any devices still paired with the controller when it is reset, they will have to go through the exclusion process before they can be re-paired.
|
||||
- The device firmware will remain on the device.

||||

### To reset a Z-Wave controller
|
||||
|
||||
1. In Home Assistant, go to {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %}.
|
||||
2. Select the **Z-Wave** integration. Then, select the controller.
|
||||
3. Under **Device info**, select the three dots {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} menu, then select **Factory reset**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
4. Once the process is finished, you can use this controller to start a new network, or pass it on to someone else.

## Special Z-Wave entities

||||
|
||||
The Z-Wave integration provides several special entities, some of which are available for every Z-Wave device, and some of which are conditional based on the device.

- **Factory reset:** Exercise extreme caution when using this action! Once initiated, your controller will be reset to factory settings, it will forget all devices it is paired with, it will establish a new network ID that will prevent any recovery of your old network, and all Z-Wave devices for this network will be removed from Home Assistant. If there are any devices still paired with the controller when it is reset, they will have to go through the exclusion process before they can be re-paired.
