Aeotec Quad Wallmote supported? 

I'm trying this device out but not detecting properly.
http://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/2130

Here is what I have done:

1) CastleOS Settings->Zwave->Add Device
2) Double-Click Quad wallmote's Action button (Inclusion using security)
Wallmote's LED goes to blinking Orange
3) After a few minutes
Orange blinking ceases, and goes off (I think this means inclusion successful)

Check CastleOS logs:

3:10:53 Z-Wave Controller Entering Inclusion Mode
3:11:08 Wall Controller:4 is a multichannel device. Querying channels...
3:11:08 Z-Wave Controller Linked to Device: Wall Controller:4
3:11:08 Z-Wave Controller has Exited Inclusion Mode
3:11:12 Received End Point Report:4


Under CastleOS Devices->ZWave
Shows up as Wall Controller:4 and has an On/Off button for each of the 4 channels.
(i.e. CastleOS thinks the Quad-Mote is a device that CastleOS can turn on/off)

I was hoping to use wallmote at least as an on/off button for CastleOS to use
to control some other device, and was hopeful it could also be used as a dimmer (finger sliding across the button).

Any recommendations?

Hi Tommy, have you tested the device triggers to see if it will work? It looks like it's being detected property and it should work as you expect with events. The dimmer I have to test (I do have one here for testing) as I'm not sure off the top of my head. But in prior tests the on/off triggers worked as expected.

Despite showing the on/off switch in the GUI, that will have no effect as you mentioned.


Thanks!

Do you know if there is a way to get each of the 4 buttons to be treated as 4 independent buttons, i.e. as 4 separate channels?
For now, CastleOS is treating the 4 buttons as if they were one-and-the-same.

Will fixes for this be in the next release?

Hi Chris, I'm running 1.3.3210.
The Event Triggers are not working properly.

According to the Logs, when I tap upper left button, CoS gets two updates: one from channel 1, another from the wallmote itself.
Channel 1 updates toggle between 0 and 100 when I repeat the tapping of the upper left button.
The Wallmote status of itself toggles between 0 and 100 when repeat the tapping of any of the buttons.
This appears to be expected behavior.

I have two Events configured:
1) configured for wallmote's channel 1 turning off
After saving, the Event is shown in the GUI as:

Wall Controller:4 turns on 2
2) Configured for wallmote's channel 1 turning on
After saving, the Event is shown in the GUI as:

Wall Controller:4 turns on 0


The Logs are revealing that
When I tap channel 1, that it runs both of these two events
When I tap channel 2, it also runs both of these events

I forgot to mention the first error in the error log was due to CastleOS disabling the Aeotec Zwave stick after upgrade. I re-enabled at the GUI and Zwave started working.

I wanted to provide more input on the problem I am seeing.
When tapping the button (in my case channel #1) to "turn on" ("to 100"), it works perfectly. But when I tap the same button again to "turn off" I get different results, but most of the time the result it is beeps and beeps and beeps for about a minute and gives up. When I tap it again, it does "turn off" ("to 0"). The logs are usually silent on what is going on when it beeps and beeps and beeps. Tonight however I got a log that starts "Channel 1 to 0" and then alternates back and forth "Channel 1 to 100" to "Channel 1 to 0" more than 100 times in only a few seconds.
