	'''Reset Z-Wave network''' purges all data in Vera's black Z-Wave dongle, which also clears out the list of Z-Wave devices paired to Vera. You will then need to [[Reset Node\|reset any devices]] you previously paired, and pair them again. If you also want to get rid of your scenes, network settings, users, network devices, etc., you can do a full [[Factory Reset\|factory reset]].

		+	'''WARNING''': This process is '''IRREVERSIBLE''', you cannot restore your devices from a backup, you have to pair each of them again.
		+	Before proceeding you have to manually unpair all the devices, otherwise you will create duplicate nodes which will compromise your Z-Wave network.

	If you already have another Z-Wave controller that you want to be the master, and you want Vera to be the secondary controller, bring the master controller and Vera close to each other, tell the current master controller to start sending network data or to add another Z-Wave controller, and then click '''Copy Z-Wave network from a master controller'''. You will see the status of the transfer in blue at the top of the page, and Vera will tell you if it was successful. The "Role" shown on this page will then also change a minute or so later.

-Rather than carrying around the dongle and using the dongle's built-in include/exclude, you can manually include/exclude devices by setting your options and clicking '''Go'''.  Excluding a device is the same thing as resetting it, as explained [[Reset_Node|here]].  Also read how to use this to do [[Full_Power_Inclusion|full power inclusion]] to add, or pair, ZWave devices to Vera without bringing the device in proximity to Vera's ZWave dongle.

-'''Controller shift''' tells Vera to transfer the role of primary controller to another ZWave controller.  After you click controller shift, proceed to add the other ZWave controller the same way you normally would, as explained [[ZWave_Add_Controller|here]].  The difference between adding the controller by clicking 'Controller Shift' versus adding the controller the normal way by clicking 'Add ZWave controller', is that if you choose 'Controller Shift', at the end when the other ZWave controller gets added, that other ZWave controller will become the 'Master controller', and Vera will be a secondary controller.  This means the other ZWave controller will then be responsible for healing the networking and being the SIS/SUC (a technical ZWave term).  Normally, by default, Vera is the master controller and is SIS/SUC.

		+	Reset Z-Wave network purges all data in the dongle. Before clicking the button, choose one of the 4 radio buttons. Soft reset means 'reboot' the dongle, but without losing any data.
		+
		+	Copy/Send Z-Wave network are for transferring data to/from other controllers.
