+After installing and configuring Z-Wave, Home Assistant will try to install required Python Z-Wave libraries during startup (if they are not already installed). This process might take anywhere between 5 to 25 minutes depending upon various factors. Please be patient, and let it run! This happens only once and the subsequent restarts will have no impact in performance. +

This will place the controller in inclusion mode, after which you should activate your device to be included by following the instructions provided with the device.
