2. Using the Double-sided tap, wipe the two surfaces clean of any oil or dust with a damp towel. When the surface has
completely dried, peel one side of the tape back and attach it to the corresponding section on the rear side of the Back
Mounting Plate.
Adding your WallMote Quad to your Z-Wave network.
With your mounting plates prepared to hold each component of your WallMote Quad, it’s time to add it to your Z-Wave
network.
1. Let your Z-Wave primary controller/gateway enter into pairing/
2. inclusion mode.
3. Take your WallMote Quad near to your primary controller. Press the Action Button once on your WallMote Quad, the
LED will blink with green color.
4. If your WallMote Quad has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its green LED will be solid for 2
seconds and then off. If the adding was unsuccessful and the red LED will be solid for 2 seconds and then off, repeat
the above steps.
With your WallMote Quad now working as a part of your smart home, you’ll be able to configure it from your home
control software or phone application. Please refer to your software’s user guide for precise instructions on configuring
the WallMote Quad to your needs.
Attach your WallMote Quad to its Back Mounting plate.
With your WallMote Quad added to the Z-Wave network. It’s now time to insert the main unit into the corresponding
Back Mount plate. Put the main unit in the top-left direction on the Back Mounting, and then push the WallMote Quad
into the Back Mounting Plate, the WallMote Quad will be attracted by the magnets on the Back Mount plate, as the

need to be woken up.
Remove your WallMote Quad unit from its Back Mounting Plate, press and hold the Action Button for 3 seconds(the
buzzer chirp once and the orange LED will be ON) on the back of the WallMote Quad unit and then release it. This will
trigger and send a wake up notification command to your controller/gateway, then your WallMote Quad will wake up for
10 minutes and the orange LED will fast blink while it is awake (if the WallMote Quad does not receive the Wake Up No
More
Info 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. 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.

2. Unlock your WallMote Quad from the Back Mount plate and take the WallMote Quad unit near to your primary
controller.
3. Press the Action Button on your WallMote Quad.
4. If your WallMote Quad is successfully removed from the Z-Wave network, the LED will become a colorful gradient
for a few seconds and then turn off. If the removing was unsuccessful, the red LED will be solid for 2 seconds and then
turn off, repeat the above steps.
Including WallMote Quad as a non-secure device:
If you want your WallMote Quad as a non-security device in your Z-wave network, you just need to press the Action
Button once on WallMote Quad when you use a controller/gateway to add/include it.
The green LED will be on for 2 seconds and then the orange LED will fast blink for 10 minutes (if the WallMote Quad

Including WallMote Quad as a secure device:
In order to take full advantage of all functionality the WallMote Quad, you may want your WallMote Quad is a security
device that uses secure/encrypted message to communicate in Z-wave network, so a security enabled
controller/gateway is needed for the WallMote Quad to be used as a security device.

You need to press the WallMote Quad’s Action Button 2 times within 1 second when your security controller/gateway
starts the network inclusion.
The blue LED will be on for 2 seconds and then the orange LED will fast blink for 10 minutes (if the WallMote Quad
does not receive the Wake Up No
More Info command from primary Controller) to indicate the inclusion is successful.
Advanced Parameter Configurations.

The WallMote 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 WallMote 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:
Dimmer control via sliding the button area.
The WallMote Quad also supports sliding control, when the parameter 4 [1 byte] has been set to 3, you can slide up or
down on the button area to control a dimmer device by sliding up or down. Swiping up once will dim up a dimmer
device by a certain percentage, while swiping down once will dim down a dimmer device by a certain percentage.
This application is only suitable for Group Association control, it does not work with scene controls.

Your WallMote Quad has a internal rechargeable lithium battery that will allow you to charge it when it is in low battery.
The charger’s output should be a micro USB terminal with the specification of output DC 5V/1A. When the WallMote
Quad is in charge state, the orange LED will be on. If the orange LED is off and the green LED remains on, then it
indicates that the battery charge is complete.
Note: When the WallMote is in low battery, you will see the orange LED will blink when you touch the control buttons.
Otherwise, if the blue LED blinks when touching the buttons, which means the battery is in normal level.
Waking up WallMote.
In order to configure WallMote, you must either (1) wake up WallMote using the below button press function.
1. Press and hold WallMote Action button
2. Wait until the RGB LED turns into a Yellow/Orange Color and beeps.
3. Release WallMote Action Button
The LED on WallMote will now rapidly blink its Yellow/Orange LED while it is in its awake state. You may send in
any configurations or commands from your current gateway to configure your WallMote.
4. Tap the Action Button on WallMote to put WallMote back to sleep, or wait 10 minutes. (recommended to manually
put it back to sleep to conserve battery life).
Testing Health Connectivity.
You can determine the health of your WallMotes 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 WallMotes communication to your gateway. You'll be able to see a maximum battery use of 3 months of use over
green LED indication listed below.
1. Press and hold WallMote Action button
2. Wait until the RGB LED turns into a Purple Color
3. Release WallMote Action Button
The RGB LED will blink its Purple color while sending ping messages to your gateway, when it has finished, it will blink
1 of 3 colors:
Red = Bad Health
Yellow = Moderate Health
Green = Great Health
Be sure to watch for the blink, as it will only blink once very quickly.
Resetting your WallMote Quad.
If at some stage, your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may wish to factory reset your WallMote Quad’s
which will remove it from its network that it is paired to, and reset all configured settings back to default. To do this,
follow the steps below:

seconds to indicate a successful factory reset.
3. Let go of the Action Button.
Further steps for different Z-Wave Gateways.
Most gateways will have specific steps to use WallMote Quad via group association (direct control), while others will
have different steps to use its scene triggers through the gateway directly for more advanced controls. Below are the
known steps required for the listed gateways.
1. Smartthings Hub (Custom Device Handler by Erocm123)
(https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/6000162573-using-aeotec-wallmote-quad-with-smartthings-hub-)
2. Vera UI7 Group Association (https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/6000162165-using-wallmote-quad-
with-vera-ui7-)
If your gateway is not listed here, please contact support to see if there are possible steps that can be used on your
gateway to make it work.
