I’ve recently bought a ZME-WALLC-S, a battery powered Zwave (Plus) switch. I could successfully include it to my Zwave network put it is not recognized completely. It shows up as a plain node with no manufacturer or model information available. Configuration option however appear in the zwave menu.
My problem is now: how do I set up the device so I can actually switch anything?
In the Openzwv log the following appears, when I press one of the buttons:
2017-06-24 12:58:38.316 Info, Node009, Received Central Scene set from node 9: scene id=4 in 0 seconds. Sending event notification.
2017-06-24 12:58:38.316 Warning, Node009, No ValueID created for Scene 4
How can I use this to trigger an automation?
Edit: Meanwhile the device show’s up as “zwave.popp_009303_battery_wall_controller”. But to me it looks quite unusable with home assitant.
Thanks for the hint. It’s almost working like this.
Make sure the ZMW-WALLC-S is set to send scenes on each button. The you can use an automation rule like this:
@dasmaeh Did you get you WallC to work?
After adding what you and @am3rig0 talked about I get some errors:
Info, Node046, ApplicationCommandHandler - Unhandled Command Class 0x5b
Start HA by ssh into HA and run hassio homeassistant start
do tail -f /config/OZW_Log.txt and then press a button on your WALL-C controller and see that it should have output like this:

Note the scene id=<number which should be 1 if the top left button was pressed
Add automation to test it

Got event for scene id 1 from the controller
Every time time I try it again to get the WALLC-S working in home assistant, but only the single click option is working.
I have configured the CommandClass 91 as mentioned above.
My WALLC-S is set to button 1-3 in pair with double click and 2-4 also in pair with double click
Group A and C are configured configure to ‘Central Scan to Gateway (default)’
Single click buttons are working fine, but all double click buttons i receive the message in OZW_Log.txt:
This topic has been stale for a bit but since i have been struggling for a while to get to work i thought i would add what did the trick for me in the end.
I now have the zme wall c working with single and double click where it will send a scene 1 to 8 to home assistant. At first it was working for 5 scenes but not for scene 6 7 8 as those threw a no valueid created for that scene.
what i did:
for the node parameters 1: button 1 and 3 pair mode and 2 button 2 and 4 pair mode i put them in "seperately’ it also worked int “pair with double click” but i preferred the cycling of the scene as single click now give scene 1-4 and double clicks give 5-8.
the command to control group A -D i left in "central scene to gateway.
The thing that made the difference for me to make it work, as the above was already mentioned in this and other posts, was to amend the command class id= 91 section in the xml as already mentioned above. But i added 3 extra lines to it. Basically I copied the last line and the only change in each line was changing other into other2 other and other3. It seems that this gave it the 8 lines it needed to have 8 scenes working.
Not sure if that is the logic for it but that was the trick that made it work for me.
Anyone looking to do this now, it is very easy. Go into Config-Z-wave, click Stop Network. Then go into File Editor to do the edits shown above. Then Config-Z-wave, Start Network.
