The NanoMote Quad is an entirely different product than the Minimote. This blueprint only works with the Minimote. Others have posted blueprints for the NanoMote.
ah, gotcha. I thought the names were inter-changeable.
Cant find a z-wavsJS based blueprint for the Nano, but I will have a go at using yours as a base to tweak it to work with the nano.
Yeah, I now see there aren’t any for zwave_js. You should be able to adapt one of the zwave/ozw ones to use zwave-js, or vice versa if that works for you. I believe the Nanomote uses Central Scene, so the event data is slightly different. Comparing the integrations, zwave_js events include device_id, so you can use the device selector instead of requiring a node id, which is much simpler.

Did you ever get it to work as I am having the same issue you described. Minimote appears to have paired successfully and I configured button 1 in the automation to toggle a light but nothing happens when I press the button.
DId you change from controller to scene mode for buttons and minimote?
Edit: Check this link
Yes, you need to enable scene mode. I believe you should only need to change parameter 250, but I did this many years ago.
The change log in a code block seems to break importing this…
Interesting, I’ll change the formatting. Probably because it’s in code block.
Got it working, Thanks
I think it’s working again, thanks for pointing that out.
Good to hear. Did you only change param 250, or did you change any others?
Is there any way to make this work with Z-Wave JS to MQTT? I’m not (currently) using the MQTT portion of it, but rather just prefer the Z-Wave Control Panel of it instead of the standard Home Assistant one. It seems that when devices are linked this way that events don’t show up under the zwave_js_value_notification event type.
I am using zwavejs2mqtt + zwave_js integration.
Hmmm. That’s interesting. I’m still kind of a noob with Home Assistant, but have learned my way around pretty well. Once I switched from the native HA Z-Wave JS server to the Z-Wave JS to MQTT one, I no longer got zwave_js_value_notification events from the Minimote. However, the activity DOES show up on the debug screen for Z-Wave JS to MQTT. So I know that the Minmote is working, but can’t figure out how to expose that activity to the automation(s).
You probably need to wake up the device again to complete the initial interview. Node needs to be in the Ready state. Switching addons w/o copying the cache is like starting over.
I’ve done that several times with the same results. I’m confused by two things then -
-
The Minimote shows like it’s still interviewing in ZWaveJS2MQTT, like this:
But when I press the buttons I get log activity like this:
And when I listen for zwave_js_value_notification events, I get nothin. So I’m not sure what to think there. -
Initially I was thinking that maybe something didn’t go right when I switched from the HA JS server to the other add on, but literally every other device is functioning as it should and has been since I first switched servers.
My limited skills with all of this have me kind of stuck on how to proceed from here.
You need to wake up the remote so it finishes the interview. Instructions are in the guide linked in the original post.
Wake up the Minimote
- Press and hold the Learn Button (or Join Button) for 3 seconds, then let go. This should keep the Minimote awake for 30 seconds
As I said in my reply, I’ve done that LOTS of times and it never gets any further. It even says “Node 33 is now awake” and then “…is asleep” 30 seconds later. I’ll keep trying, I suppose.
Many people confuse just pressing buttons with waking up the device; wake up is a specific process so I was just making sure you were following the exact sequence.
The remote won’t work in HA until the interview status is Complete. The node’s asleep and awake status are separate from the interview status and not really relevant to getting the functionality working. The fact that you see those statuses change is good though. You might have to turn on debug logs (z-wave settings) and see what exactly is going on when you wake it.
