How to make Aeotec Wallmote Quad work in Home Assistant

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have a wallmote quad that I try to add to my Home Assistant. I have followed the instructions here. When I click button 1 the wallmote flashes blue twice and red once and I see this in the log:

2019-12-11 20:48:00.569 Detail, Node004,   Received: 0x01, 0x0b, 0x00, 0x04, 0x00, 0x04, 0x05, 0x5b, 0x03, 0x13, 0x00, 0x01, 0xbb
2019-12-11 20:48:00.569 Detail,
2019-12-11 20:48:00.569 Info, Node004, Received Central Scene set from node 4: scene id=1 in 0 seconds. Sending event notification.
2019-12-11 20:48:00.569 Detail, Node004, Initial read of value
2019-12-11 20:48:00.570 Detail, Node004, Notification: ValueChanged

I have set up an automation that triggers on event “zwave.scene_changed” with data:

entity_id: switch.aeon_labs_zw130_wallmote_quad
scene_data: 0
scene_id: 1

But this never triggers. I’m not sure what to try next, so hoping anyone has a suggestion.

Wrong entity. Use the zwave one. There are examples in the instructions you linked to.

I have tried both “zwave.aeon_labs_zw130_wallmote_quad” and the numeric id it has (4). But no difference. I don’t see any specific examples for the wallmote quad?

I don’t see any specific examples for the wallmote quad?

Doesn’t matter what the device is, if it sends a Central Scene message it will trigger a zwave.scene_activated event. The event always sets zwave entity, node id, scene id and scene data. The examples apply equally to all devices, what may be different is the scene IDs and data. You are using the correct values based on the logs scene id=1 in 0.

I have set up an automation that triggers on event “zwave.scene_changed”

Maybe that is your other problem? The event is zwave.scene_activated.

Ah, thank you very much!, that was the problem! Not sure how I got that wrong.

The wallmote still flashes blue twice and red once on button 1 click, but it works. Do you know why?

Sorry, I don’t own the device so I wouldn’t know that. Aeotec’s website has user manuals and tech docs, which might explain.

That usually indicates that the gateway didn’t respond. Could be that its too far away from your Z-Wave stick
