Association table of the control buttons.
The NanoMote Quad supports 9 association groups, all control buttons can activate the configured scenes via sending
the Central Scene Notifications to primary controller/gateway (In association group 1). In order to use Association
Groups, make sure that your gateway or software can allow you to set these (ie: Vera Group Association Setup
(https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/6000162165-using-wallmote-quad-with-vera-ui7)), in order to do so, please
refer to your gateways manual on setting group association. This will allow the NanoMote Quad to directly
communicate ON/OFF or Dimming commands to your devices without going through your gateway.
Every control button also can send the control commands to control the devices in the other association groups, see
the table below:
Testing Health Connectivity.
You can determine the health of your NanoMotes connectivity to your gateway using a manual button press, hold, and
release function which is indicated by the LED color. This will help you maximize the battery life based on the health of
your NanoMote communication to your gateway.

Your NanoMote Quad’s battery.
Your NanoMote Quad has a internal rechargeable LIR2450 3.6V battery that will allow you to charge it when it is in low
battery power. The charger’s output should be a micro USB terminal with the specification of output DC 5V and at least
1A.
The LED color is red during the charging process, and it will turn to green if the charging is finished.
Notes: If the battery health begins to degrade, you can always purchase a new LIR2450 3.6V Battery to replace the
one that comes with this unit.
Removing your NanoMote Quad from a Z-Wave network.
Your NanoMote can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You'll need to use your Z-Wave network's
main controller/gateway. To do this, please refer to the part of their respective manuals that tell you how to remove
devices from your network.
1. Put your primary controller into device removal mode.
2. Take your NanoMote near to your primary controller.
3. Double click the NanoMote button (can be any button), the LED will become a solid green color.
4. If your NanoMote has been removed from your Z-Wave network, its LED will begin cycling through rainbow colors.
Manually factory reset NanoMote.
If you find that your gateway is no longer functioning and you need to pair your NanoMote to a new Z-Wave gateway,
perform the steps below to manually factory reset your NanoMote. We recommend that you perform the Removal
process instead if your gateway that NanoMote is connected to is still functioning.
