This page goes over the method to pairing NanoMote Quad to SmartThings hub, creating automation, and forms part of the larger NanoMote Quad user guide.  


SmartThings Connect - How to pair.


We highly recommend using the generic default method of pairing Z-Wave devices in SmartThings hub. Follow the below steps to pairing your NanoMote Quad.


When pairing, keep NanoMote Quad within 10 ft direct line of sight within your SmartThinbs hub for the highest success chance of success.


1. Open up SmartThings Connect

2. Select "+" located at the top right hand corner.

3. Select "Device"

4. Select "Scan nearby" located at the top right side of the page.

5. Ensure that the LED on SmartThings hub is blinking.

6. Tap the button on NanoMote Quad (any button) to pair it. If successful the LED will become solid white-blue color and flash a green LED after a few seconds to finalize pairing.


You can check if SmartThings has paired your NanoMote correctly by following these steps:


1. Open SmartThings IDE in your browser: https://account.smartthings.com/login

Group Association - Direct control of Z-Wave devices.


Notes - Using the below device handler, you have a few options for control using the below SmartApps:

  • Direct control of Z-Wave devices
  • Bypass SmartThings hub


The Device Handler option above provides you a method to bypass SmartThings and allow you to directly control your Z-Wave Switches and Dimmers for faster control.


Requirements for this to work.

  • Make sure that the Security level of NanoMote and the Z-Wave Device are the same. Otherwise they will not be able to communicate.
    • Will work
      • NanoMote uses S0_Legacy security level
      • Z-Wave Switch uses S0_Legacy security level
    • Will not work
      • NanoMote uses S0_Legacy security level
      • Z-Wave Switch uses no security or S2_Security
  • Must be a Z-Wave device.
