SmartThings Link for Nvidia Shield
Other Z-Wave or Zigbee Hubs

If you do not have a SmartThings V2 or V3 hub, you'll need to perform the steps for Zigbee and Z-Wave specifically
to get them connected to your new hub.

Migrate Z-Wave devices.

All Z-Wave devices can only be connected to a single Z-Wave hub at a time. If you did not factory reset or unpair it
from your previous hub, you will need to do so now before you can connect it again. If you no longer have the older
hub, you can use your new Smart Home Hub to factory reset it using its Z-Wave Exclusion function.

Steps.

1. 

Move your Z-Wave device within 10ft of your Smart Home Hub.

2. 

From SmartThings app dashboard, tap 

Main Menu

.

3. 

Tap 

Devices

.

4. 

Find your Hub and select it.

5. 

Tap the

 icon.

6. 

Tap

7. 

Tap 

Z-Wave exclusion

.

8. 

Tap the button on your Z-Wave device to factory reset it. Some devices require special button presses, so you
may need to refer to your Z-Wave device manual if a single button tap does not work.

9. 

Go back to SmartThings dashboard.

10. 

Tap

Tap

.

13. 

Tap the button on your Z-Wave device to connect it. Some devices require special button presses, so you may
need to refer to your Z-Wave device manual if a single button tap does not work.

Migrate Zigbee devices.

All Zigbee devices must be manually factory reset and must have a method to reset them in order to connect them to a
new hub. When transitioning, you’ll need to perform the manual factory reset outlined by the Zigbee device
manufacturer. 

Steps.

1. 

First, manually factory reset your Zigbee device (refer to your Zigbee device manual for the correct button
combination). 

2. 

From SmartThings dashboard, tap 

+

.

3. 

Tap

4. 

Tap 

Scan

 

Nearby.

5. 

Tap the button on your Zigbee device to connect it. Some devices require special button presses or a re-power
of your device, so you may need to refer to your Zigbee device manual if a single button tap does not work.
