The Soft Remote
The soft remote by NodOn is a small and quadratic ZWave sensor. It hast four buttons. For each for the four buttons it can report a simple press, double press, long press and button release. It is magnetic so it does stick to refrigerator doors or heating radiators and it is powered by a CR2032.
Network Inclusion
Inclusion is easy and well documented. After a simultaneous press on filled circle and plus the center led lights up in pink. Another pink confirmation blink is shown after another full circle press. Now it may take up to 30 seconds until the successful inclusion is indicated by a green blink.
Changing parameters
Changing parameters is easy and works almost instantly, since the device wakes up after any button press and listens for communication. How this impacts battery life will show over time.
Integration in Openhab
Change configuration parameter
To make the device work with Openhab a change in the scene type is required. This can be achieved by changing parameter 3 to „1“. After a short button press the desired log entries can be found:
No item bound for event, endpoint = 0, command class = SCENE_ACTIVATION, value = 10, ignoring.
