reset micasavede z-stick (Aeon Labs ZSFS100-US)

[Raul102801]

Does anyone know how I can reset the z-stick to factory defaults? I searched on the manufacturers site but all I could find said I had to use the host software to reset it.

http://www.smarthome-products.com/productspecs/AeonLabZ-StickS2.pdf

I used to have 2 zwave devices on my network but they got danaged and I no longer have them and don't know how to remove them without having the devices.
When I plug the z-wave dongle on my core I see a message saying devices failed to start and I am guessing it is related to the devices on the dongle I no longer have.

Thanks

Ok, so I went to the micasaverde forums and found some instructions saying to press the reset button on the dongle with a paperclip for 3-5 seconds. I did and nothing happened, no lightsor anything indicating success. I plugged it back on my core and still get the same thing.

Recognizes the dongle,it says something about adding zwave device, then something about Pluto vdr (not sure why this shows). The starting device and finally says it failed to start device and something is wrong.

Is there a way to tell if the dongle still has devices in it?

Thanks

It depends on your version of LMCE:
For 1004: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ZWave
For 1204: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Open_Zwave

Thanks Raymond
I am using 12.04
I tried the instructions on the link you provided but I'm a little confused.

Here is the zwave log in case it gives some clues:

Did you remove all node bindings to the controller, prior to resetting the controller?
A good practice is to also take your ZWave device and delete it from your device-tree in webadmin, after you do a ResetController, so there are no weird things hanging around.
