Z-Wave - Full and Low Power Inclusion mode

[B34N]

I have a Pine64 with the Pine US Z-wave module running openHAB2. I'm finally starting to move my z-wave network over from my old and dying Aeon Z-Stick. Some of my z-wave devices do not seem to support Network Inclusion mode and need a controller to be in directly reachable. Am I out of luck if I cannot bring my Pine64 in range of these devices? Or is there a method to have a secondary controller that I can bring close to these devices for pairing?

If I'm better off just buying a new removable z-wave controller stick and scrapping my Pine64 then please let me know.

Thank you,

I am under the impression that Gen 5 Z-Wave devices can be backed up and restored to a new device. If so, would that mean that I could backup the Pine64 controller and move to a Aeon controller if I find the need in the future?
