Question 1

If you remove it from the wall, how do you know which button to press?

Accepted Answer

There's a bit of a curved cutout on the bottom side, as well as six small pin holes.  Additionally, there is a large sticker / info on the backside.  If you hold it as you would when reading the info, that would be the correct side.   On a side note, I'm not sure I would recommend this, as it's a little 'finicky'.   The concept is good, where a single button can be used for a toggle (meaning on AND off), and also if you hold it versus pressing it, it can do other functions, but I find that it has difficulty determining what is a press and what is a hold-- this is a factor due to the latency in communication between the remote and the controller.   I'm not sure if this issue is reduced if the remote is closer in proximity or not.   It's also a bit 'futuristic' looking if you want it to blend in with other switches in a room, this will clearly stand out.   One feature I really like is the ability to recharge the unit via mini-USB.

Question 2

This can be used to launch SmartApps via which capabilities?

Accepted Answer

It is considered a “button” but you must log into your smartthings account on a computer and create a device handler first by copying and pasting the code in the link below to your device. Follow the instructions below. Recommended WallMote Quad Device Handler
https://github.com/erocm123/SmartThingsPublic/blob/master/devicetypes/erocm123/aeon-wallmote.src/aeon-wallmote.groovy (by Erocm1231)
 
Follow the steps below:
Login to Web IDE and click on the "My Device Types" link on the top menu (login here: https://graph.api.smartthings.com/)
Create a new Device Handler by clicking on "New Device Handler" button in the upper-right corner.
Click on "From Code."
Copy Erocm1231 code from Github, and paste it into the code section.
Click on "Save", then wait for the spinning wheel to stop.
Click on "Publish" -> "Publish for me"
Install it on your WallMote Quad by going to "My Devices" page in the IDE
Find your WallMote Quad.
Go to the bottom of the page for the current WallMote Quad and click on "Edit."
Find the "Type" field and select your device handler. (should be located at the bottom of the list as Aeon WallMote).
Click on "Update"
Save Changes

Question 3

Can this switch be used/configured to arm and disarm using smartthings?

Accepted Answer

This is not a device that has a typical smart things configuration.  1) Out of the box you cannot do a simple “discover” and connect to the device.  2) Additional steps are needed to load device drivers into your SmartThings IDE using GitHub.  (this is not isolated to this vendor - I have a second remote and it also required additional steps to allow it to be used)It took be under 30 minutes to find the source code, suck it into my IDE, save/configure and publish.  Currently I have it set up to turn 3 different lights on with buttons 1,2,3.  Button 4 turns on all lights (4 GE Smart (Dimmable) switches and 3 smart bulbs)  I haven’t played with it enough to determine if I can set the lighting to a specific intensity – i.e. 10%I did find that there is a lag in the device releasing the targeted device.  If I depress button 1, lights go on.  If I immediately depress button 1 afterward, there is no reaction .  it takes a few more seconds until depressing button 1 will then turn off the lights.on a side note, the remote appears to be solidly built and provides feedback that the buttons have been activated (sound & vibration).  It's double the price of the other remote I purchased, but should serve the intended audience better (an elderly relative)

Is the battery replaceable?  If so, what kind of cell is it?  It says lithium, but what size is it, please?
