Adding your WallMote Quad to your Z-Wave network.

With your mounting plate prepared, it's time to add the WallMote Quad to your Z-Wave network.

1. Initiate pairing/inclusion mode on your Z-Wave primary controller/gateway.
2. Bring your WallMote Quad near to your primary controller.
3. Press the Action Button [Action Button] once on your WallMote Quad. The LED will blink green.
4. Successful Addition: If your WallMote Quad is successfully added, its green LED [Green LED] will be solid for 2 seconds and then turn off.

Advanced Functions.

Send a wake up notification.

To send new configuration commands from your Z-Wave controller or gateway, the WallMote Quad needs to be woken up.

Remove the WallMote Quad unit from its Back Mounting Plate. Press and hold the Action Button [Action Button] on the back of the unit for 3 seconds. You will hear a buzzer chirp ? once, and the orange LED [Orange LED] will turn ON. Release the button.

This action triggers and sends a wake-up notification command to your controller/gateway. The WallMote Quad will then remain awake for 10 minutes, indicated by the orange LED [Orange LED] fast blinking. This occurs if the device does not receive a "Wake Up No More Info" command from the primary controller.

Removing your WallMote Quad from a Z-Wave network.

Your WallMote Quad can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time using your Z-Wave network's main controller/gateway. Consult your controller's manual for specific instructions on removing devices.

1. Put your primary controller into device removal mode.
2. Unlock your WallMote Quad from the Back Mount plate and bring the unit near to your primary controller.
3. Press the Action Button [Action Button] on your WallMote Quad.
4. Successful Removal: If your WallMote Quad is successfully removed, the LED will display a colorful gradient for a few seconds and then turn off.
5. Unsuccessful Removal: If the removal was unsuccessful, the red LED [Red LED] will be solid for 2 seconds and then turn off. Repeat the above steps.

Security or Non-security feature of your WallMote Quad in Z-wave network.

Including WallMote Quad as a non-secure device:

To include your WallMote Quad as a non-security device in your Z-Wave network, simply press the Action Button [Action Button] once on the WallMote Quad when your controller/gateway is in the process of adding/including it.

The green LED [Green LED] will be on for 2 seconds, followed by the orange LED [Orange LED] fast blinking for 10 minutes (if the WallMote Quad does not receive the "Wake Up No More Info" command from the primary Controller) to indicate successful inclusion.

Including WallMote Quad as a secure device:

To leverage the full functionality of the WallMote Quad, you may want to include it as a security device that uses secure/encrypted messages for communication within the Z-Wave network. This requires a security-enabled controller/gateway.

Press the WallMote Quad's Action Button [Action Button] twice within 1 second when your security controller/gateway starts the network inclusion process.

The blue LED [Blue LED] will be on for 2 seconds, followed by the orange LED [Orange LED] fast blinking for 10 minutes (if the WallMote Quad does not receive the "Wake Up No More Info" command from the primary Controller) to indicate successful inclusion.

Advanced Parameter Configurations.

Not all Z-Wave gateways allow for advanced configuration of devices. If your gateway supports it, the WallMote Quad offers several parameter configurations for customization.

Touch beep ?

This setting enables or disables sound effects when you press or touch the sensing area. By default, this is enabled.

Parameter 1 [1 byte]:

• 0: Disable
• 1: Enable

Note: You can also enable or disable sound effects by pressing and holding the Action Button [Action Button] for 12 seconds (you will hear a buzzer chirp ? once, and the red LED [Red LED] will fast blink) and then releasing it.

Touch vibration ?

This setting enables or disables vibration effects when you press or touch the sensing area. By default, this is enabled.

Parameter 2 [1 byte]:

• 0: Disable
• 1: Enable

Note: You can also enable or disable vibration effects by pressing and holding the Action Button [Action Button] for 17 seconds (you will hear a buzzer chirp ? once, and the red LED [Red LED] will be solid) and then releasing it.

Association table of the control buttons.

The WallMote Quad supports 9 association groups. All control buttons can activate configured scenes by sending Central Scene Notifications to the primary controller/gateway (in association group 1). To use Association Groups, ensure your gateway or software supports setting them. Refer to your gateway's manual for group association settings. This feature allows the WallMote Quad to directly communicate ON/OFF or Dimming commands to your devices without routing through your gateway.

Every control button can also send control commands to devices in other association groups. See the table below:

Dimmer control via sliding the button area.

The WallMote Quad supports sliding control. When parameter 4 [1 byte] is set to 3, you can slide your finger up or down on the button area to control a dimmer device. Swiping up once will increase the dimmer level by a certain percentage, while swiping down once will decrease it by a certain percentage.
