#VRMX1 won't pair to Home Assistant

I have a Leviton VRMX1 (very old I must say) that refuses to pair to home assistant even after resetting it multiple times across multiple days. I've paired plenty of other of the same light switches, yet this one refuses to pair. Am I doing something wrong?
The steps I've done are:

  • Used a z-wave stick to unpair it
  • Pushed the airgap in for 10ish seconds
  • Pushed the light switch back into place and wait for the amber light
  • Released (amber light goes away - it should keep flashing but doesn't..?)

Then, I factory reset it by holding it down until the blinking red lights go away. After repeating the steps again, it won't pair. I've noticed this switch has very bad documentation with a "pairing remote", but I don't have that and haven't needed it for other light switches.

Looking forward to your reply since I'm about to pull my hair out.

The push top, wait five seconds, push bottom is the method to factory reset the device. Put the Vera 3 into inclusion mode first (press and let go of the z-wave button, it will blink). Then I believe you simply have to turn it on by pressing the bottom of the pad. Exit the inclusion mode by pressing and letting go of the z-wave button again)....
