Unable to remove association for Aeotec quad minimote

I set up some associations for the buttons on my Aeotec Quad Minimote using the Node group associations on the Z-wave configuration page. However, I decided I would rather use Zwave events with Home Assistant so the buttons can trigger scenes instead. So, I need to first remove the associations. I’m trying to do this via the developer tools call service page, specifically: zwave.change_association with the following service data:

association: remove
node_id: 11 (this is the ID of the nanomote)
target_node_id: 7 (this is the ID of the node the button is linked to)
group: 7 (the button group)

I see the following in the open zwave log when I call the service:

Then, when I wake up the minimote by pressing a button, I see the following in the log:

It does not look like it’s doing anything with the queued command. What should I do?

What button did you press to wake it up?

According to the logs, you are already using scenes.

I just picked a random button to press and it work up.

Regardless of whether or not I’m using scenes, I just want to change which device is associated with the button. It’s not letting me do that.

If you are already in scene mode, I’m confused as to how you have any devices associated to the button. The configuration is either group mode or scene mode. Are the buttons actually controlling any devices this way?

Anyways, just pressing any random button doesn’t wake up the remote. You need to use the Learn/Join button. https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/6000035629-in-depth-minimote-guide

Yes, I don’t understand the scene information in the OZW log myself. However, I figured out the problem. I need to hold down any random button for five seconds to force it to wake up and receive commands (I assumed just pressing a button briefly “woke up” the device).

Just an FYI, you’re thinking of a different device. This is a Quad Minimote, but you have a Minimote (which look even better, but doesn’t seem to be available anymore).

Ah, you’re right, I missed the Quad part.
