Newbie: Z-Wave Remotec Scene Master fails to add to network

I’ve installed HA version 193 using the generic Linux server instructions, i.e. via docker, and have got the Z-Wave.me USB dongle attached and working as /dev/ttyACM0. It appears as a node in the Configuration panel OK and appears to be working. In case it’s relevant, I didn’t need to make the device available in the docker container as hinted at in the documentation, I wouldn’t know how to do that anyway, it says to add the -device switch to the docker command but I can’t find any way to do that. But a symbolic persistent link to it via udev doesn’t appear in HA.

Anyway, I’ve tried adding a Remotec Scene Master 8-button switch as my first node. The instructions are a little contradictory - HA docs say press Add Node then put the device into inclusion mode, whereas the device docs say put the device into add mode then press the program button on the target, which I take to mean the Add Node button in HA. But whichever way round I do it, it doesn’t work.

Pressing Add Node causes the USB controller’s LED to flash and pressing the L+R buttons together on the device, the Add instruction, causes the device’s LED to flash, all according to the instructions. But nothing happens and it times out after 30 seconds. The controller doesn’t pair up with it.

Both controller and device are European Z-Wave Plus devices so should operate together. I have tried factory resetting the Remotec but to no avail.

Here are the contents of the ozw.log file, on initiating the inclusion then cancelling the command 30 seconds later when the device times out.

Could anyone offer some advice?

Thank you.
