Aeotec wallmote quad zw130

olloe · February 17, 2017, 10:52pm

i just bought a aeotec wallmote quad zw130 and was crossing my fingers it would work in HA. I see four values, but none of them changes if I press anything on the wallmote. Is it possible to make it work or doesn’t HA support it? I was hoping to make four lightswitches each with dimming possibility…

I have just bought it and when I add it I only get one switch but a few sensors, are you getting the same?

The switch I am getting is:
switch.__switch_2_0 off battery_level: 100
friendly_name: Aeotec ZW130 WallMote Quad Switch
node_id: 2

The WallMote Quad uses the Central Scene Command Class to send button notifications to the controller through the 1st association group (Lifeline).

The Central Scene Command Class is currently not fully implemented in OpenZWavet, which makes use of remotes solely based on the command class hard to get fully working. Another recent topic on the forums can be seen for Remotec ZRC-90, which is also solely based on scene activation using Central Scene.

The WallMote Quad does however offer the alternative of using association for switch and dimmer control. Using direct associations should be fully possible, using the correct group for the purpose.

Group 2 - Basic Set [On/Off control via Button 1]
Group 3 - Multilevel Switch Set [Dimmer control (slide) via Button 1]
Group 4 - Basic Set [On/Off control via Button 2]
Group 5 - Multilevel Switch Set [Dimmer control (slide) via Button 2]
Group 6 - Basic Set [On/Off control via Button 3]
Group 7 - Multilevel Switch Set [Dimmer control (slide) via Button 3]
Group 8 - Basic Set [On/Off control via Button 4]
Group 9 - Multilevel Switch Set [Dimmer control (slide) via Button 4]

For reference, see the official Engineering Specification from Aeotec.

Since the WallMote Quad is a battery operated device, remember waking the device after setting the appropriate association. Associations are stored in the internal memory of the device. In associations the Z-Wave controller is not the activating node. The controller will only receives status updates from the activated nodes.

So Central Scene is now supported by OZW? https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/pull/1125

but I am unable to get my ZW130 talking to HASS.

I’ve attempted a workaround in Support to Scene modes using Remotec ZRC-90 to no avail. The scripts are working as intended in HASS, but my button presses on the wallmote are not triggering the scripts.

Has anyone else gotten this wallmote to work with HASS yet?

Tinkerer · March 31, 2017, 6:49pm

That’s not yet been merged, so no, there’s no support in any release of OZW for Central Scenes.

So there is no way to get the button 1-4 values from the included entitiy?
I just see the following values.
If I would see the buttons as a parameter of a listed value, I could use a template.

Can anybody help me for a detailled instruction how to turn on a light with pressing a button?
The slider function is not important at the moment.

mischoe · April 5, 2017, 11:22am

When i start OZW an log the pressed button, I will get this error:

I have OpenZwave Version 1.4.2293 with HA Version 0.41.0

kjetilpp · August 16, 2017, 6:31pm

Any updates on this? Do it work?

Tinkerer · August 16, 2017, 6:34pm

Not until the Central Scene support is part of Open Z-Wave, which it still isn’t. See this open issue for details.

rompca7 · November 17, 2017, 6:01am

Anything new here? Does it support Central Scenes yet? I’m new to HA but I just got a quad today. I’ll play with it over the weekend. I’m hoping I can get both the button pushing and dimming features to work.

Tinkerer · November 17, 2017, 7:14am

See here for details on setting it up.

There’s still no official Central Scene support, but there is that work around.

rompca7 · November 17, 2017, 5:10pm

Thanks, that was really helpful. I’ve only gotten single-presses working so far. I’d like to get holding and sliding working too, but one step at a time.

Tinkerer · November 17, 2017, 6:26pm

The Z-Wave log (OZW_Log.txt) should contain the details of what it sends when you do that, to help you build the file.

If you do, can you please update us on what you end up with either here, or submitting a PR to update the docs.

fuglphoenix · December 29, 2017, 10:22pm

i’ve looked at the ozw_log and can provide a bit furter information.
a single press returns

“scene id=3” is button 3 and I can register that in ha.
“value 0” is single press, i guess

a long press returns:

again “scene id=3” is button 3.
I guess that value=2 is button pressed, since it will keep firing (the middle section of the log example will appear multiple times) as long as i press down on the button.
and “value=1” is button released, since it always ends with that.

does anybody have an idea how that can be registered in HA?
i can trigger an automation by registering the event “zwave.scene_activated” on the scene id.
but what about the value changed?
how do i trigger on that, or can i use a condition template or something

Tinkerer · December 30, 2017, 9:13am

Have a look at the documentation (previously linked to in this thread) that documents some of the config for the Minimote, and shows how to use the events in an automation.

fuglphoenix · December 30, 2017, 5:25pm

the minimote is using the scene id to trigger. I can use that and it works perfectly.
but if i want to trigger only on a button hold down, i need to include the value, since the scene id is the same ie. 3.
So far i haven’t figured out how to do that

Tinkerer · December 30, 2017, 9:06pm

It’s documented here.

fuglphoenix · January 1, 2018, 10:44am

Thank you Tinkerer, that did it11!
if anyone else is trying to figure out how to use the wallmote.
you should just edit the zwcfg_xxxx.xml as mentioned previously
and ad a bit of automation like this:

- id: '15033356445646'
  alias: wallmote all off
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      entity_id: zwave.wallmote
      scene_id: 4
      scene_data: 2
    event_type: zwave.scene_activated
    platform: event
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      entity_id: group.audio
    service: media_player.turn_off
  - data:
      entity_id: group.video
    service: media_player.turn_off
  - data:
      entity_id: group.lys
    service: light.turn_off

this scene_id is the button number, and scene_data is

0 = single press
1 = button release
2 = button press (note it will keep firing as long as you press the button)

the last thing is the slide up/down function, which i haven’t look at too much. just noticed that the log shows this when activated

CoolKau · January 3, 2018, 10:17pm

Hi fuglphoenix,

I am trying to replicate your work for the fibaro button. That is

Turn off zwave network
Edit zwcfg_xxx.xml as suggested by the link above
Turn on zwave
Edit the automation as you did (with the scene_id and scence_data suggested by the link above)
Wait for something to happen when you press the button

However in my case, nothing happens. I played now with serveral variations for quite some while with no luck. Did you do anthing else? Am I missing something here?

I mean I get some warning that tells me that something is not right on OZW level:

2018-01-03 22:11:05.804 Info, Node005, Received Central Scene set from node 5: scene id=1 in 7680 seconds. Sending event notification.
2018-01-03 22:11:05.804 Warning, Node005, No ValueID created for Scene 1

Yet there is little I can to about this at my level of understanding. So I would be inclined to send back the button and get the mote instead.

TehRobot1 · January 9, 2018, 2:43am

Did you manage to get the swipe function working?
