SOLVED: Not able to add a Fibaro FGK-10x door/window (Zwave plus) sensor after removing it

Hi,
After an extensive search with the Google search on the forum (site:forum.athom.com ) I decided to give it try on the forum.
I just bought my first two Zwave plus Door/window sensors from Fibaro. I Also bought the temperature sensors that you can use with them.
This morning I wanted to add a sensor, and it paired immmediately after pressing the button on the rear three times. Then I wanted to install the temperature sensor. From the Fibaro manual I learned that this procedure can only be done when the sensor is removed from the Zwave network. So I removed it from the network by pressing the X in the top of the device. Homey asked to press the button on the rear of the sensor three times. The sensor was removed succesfully.
After connecting the temperature sensor to the door/window sensor I wanted to add the sensor to the network. I followed the procedure but it didn't work. I tried several times. Then rebooted Homey, and also did a reset of the Zwave network. This last step I read on this forum.But unfortunately didn't work.
Then I tried the other new sensor that hasn't been in the network before. But sensor won't pair either. I have the feeling that I'm out of options. Does anyone have an idea what I can do to add the sensors to my network?
Thanks in advance.

no luck with this post either
1) Reset the sensor according to manual
2) If removed, check the Z-wave settings > Stuff for Geeks > state > which nodes are listed here? If you don't have any devices added, it should only state 1 (Homey's node)
3) Do you have the same issues without having the temp sensor installed, or only with?
4) Add the sensor holding it within 50 cm of Homey
I didn't have the cover on the sensor when pairing. The cover pushes the TMP button which sets the programming button on the rear idle. Teds reset procedure helped me to realize this. Thanks!
I hope this helps other people who run into similar issues...
