Fair enough, if you followed my post and your device is setup as per the screenshot I’m not really sure sorry.
I have exactly the same problem. When I slide there is nothing in the logs. As if no movement is registered by openhab.
The symptoms may be the same but the problem may be different. Please open a new thread to keep troubleshooting from getting muddled.
Ok I can open a new thread but I found this in the aeotec manual:
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.
However in the openhab xml this is set on parameter 3 and allowable values are 0 and 1. Could this be the reason?
The symptoms may be the same but the problem may be different. Please open a new thread to keep troubleshooting from getting muddled.
With all due respect, but I disagree.
First of all: AFAIK no troubleshooting was going on anymore on the original question. At least that is the impression I get - and I was somewhat disappointed by that… From my side, this device is still sitting on my desk, I have not installed it because of this.
So, if today somebody else chimes in on this topic, and confirms to see the same, then I don’t feel this is hijacking the thread. Instead, maybe it will give the thread some new attention - or perhaps we could debug it together, exchange experiences.
To be honest, I don’t see how having 2 different threads for the same problem is favorable. Isn’t the intention of the forum to work together if you have the same problem? (or: a problem with the same symptoms?)

What version are you running?
I see that device was last updated in March so you should likely try the install script to install a 2.5.2 snapshot version of the binding.
Zigbee and Z-Wave manual install script - Tutorials & Examples - openHAB Community
Thanks for this info. I am currently using
openHAB 2.5.1-2 (Release Build)
I am trying to find if that release is before or after march…
@Yiannis550 in habmin, the “configuration parameters” matches what is listed on the manual, here:
The page shows:
Blockquote
Button slide function
This will enable or disable the function of button slide.
Parameter 3 [1 byte]
0: Disable
1: Enable //Default Setting
I know that if you change this setting into 0, then you no longer get the “beep” (on the button itself) when sliding.
As for parameter 4, it shows:
WallMote Reports
This will allow you to configure what reports are sent when pressing WallMote Quads buttons.
Parameter 4 [1 byte]
1: Send Central Scene Command notification //Default Setting
3: Send Central Scene Command notification and Configuration Report.
Does your manual show something different?

It’s strange but in the manual online it says that parameter 3 is for slide but further down it says its parameter 4. Nor sure which is correct. I opened a ticket with aeotec support
Check it out

Let us know what you find. I had a similar issue with another vendor but I caught it as I was entering the device. They gave me the correct answer which we then used.
Ok, thanks. In that case I should not need to install 2.5.2 snapshot to fix this.
Oh, wow - I missed that, good find!

@Yiannis550, I plugged in my Aeotec USB stick in my PC and inspected the messages it sees from the WallMote Quad with the Zensys tool. When swiping, it is indeed sending “CONFIGURATION_REPORT” messages:
This is what I see appear when I swipe button 1 up:
08:03:44.582: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT, data: 09 04 01 01 7C B5
08:03:44.854: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT, data: 0A 04 01 01 9B B6
This is what I see when I swipe button 1 down:
08:03:47.700: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT, data: 09 04 01 00 B8 B7
08:03:47.813: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT, data: 0A 04 01 00 8C B8
Swipe Button 2 up:
08:04:54.421: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT, data: 09 04 02 01 9A BB
08:04:54.531: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT, data: 0A 04 02 01 C3 BC
Slide Button 2 down:
08:05:02.616: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT, data: 09 04 02 00 B0 BD
08:05:02.859: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT, data: 0A 04 02 00 6C BE
I think I recognize this pattern:
09/0A 04 __/__ __/__ xx xx = start slide, stop slide
__/__ 04 01/02 __/__ xx xx = button 1, button 2
__/__ 04 __/__ 01/00 xx xx = direction up, down
(and 042 happens to be the ZWave device ID)
So, the button is sending these ‘slide’ updates through ‘COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION.CONFIGURATION_REPORT’
In contrary, button presses are send through ‘COMMAND_CLASS_MULTI_CHANNEL.MULTI_CHANNEL_CMD_ENCAP’, as you can see here:
08:02:34.042: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_MULTI_CHANNEL.MULTI_CHANNEL_CMD_ENCAP, data: 00 01 5B 03 FA 00 01
08:02:35.000: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_MULTI_CHANNEL.MULTI_CHANNEL_CMD_ENCAP, data: 00 01 5B 03 FB 00 02
08:02:36.886: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_MULTI_CHANNEL.MULTI_CHANNEL_CMD_ENCAP, data: 00 01 5B 03 FC 00 03
08:02:37.905: Received: 042 - COMMAND_CLASS_MULTI_CHANNEL.MULTI_CHANNEL_CMD_ENCAP, data: 00 01 5B 03 FD 00 04
This is short-pressing button 1, then 2, then 3 then 4.
… and, to make a long story short: it does confirm that the buttons are indeed sending these messages to the controller. Openhab (or the binding) does not see them or does not know how the read these messages…

I have tried this already. Also if you check at the beginning of this post, Johan also tried it. It does not work. I wonder if a previous build was ok and then somehow broke in the latest builds. I have binding 2.5.2 as of yesterday… Or perhaps was an AEOTEC firmware upgrade…
Anyway this code seems to expect from item BedRoom1_AeoButton_Slide2.state to have a change INCREASE or DECREASE. But in the logs I see nothing when sliding.
Indeed, same thing for me: I already tried that, it does not work.
I have 6 x WallMote Quads and the only non-default settings that I needed to change for sliding events was “Button 1/2/3/4 Multilevel”. These should be set to “Controller”, as was mentioned earlier.
The “Notification Report” settings does not need to change from its default, “Central scene”.
Because these are battery-based devices, it can take a few attempts to get the configuration to store. I found it useful to toggle the “Touch Sound” setting to be certain the revised configuration was stored.
The channel for swipe events adopts the form zwave:device:abcdef:node123:switch_startstop1.

Have you had any success with resolving this problem. I have just unboxed my Wallmote and I have set up all channels to relevant Items. Unfortunately, the only item receiving updates is the central scene_number all the rest hold a value of NULL.
I have been trying to force an update of the device and use the haptic setting to confirm. I can successfully switch on and off the haptic but no luck with receiving updates from channels.
@JamesB
Is it working now?
@Ben
What kind of firmware do your devices have? I have 2.3 and it is not working for me.
I am waking up the device through the action button (3 sec pres multiple time) and I have reinitialized the device so I am confident the has the correct configuration.
