Nodon Wall Switch CWS-3-1-01

Has anyone tried one if these?

I know the Nodon soft remote is listed as compatible so maybe, as this is essentially a four button remote, it will be ok too. Just looks like a good WAF light switch option with a UK style and shape.

I got one of these to try and it pairs OK, but only as a "device". I switched to Generic Zwave Button Controller but no button presses are recognised and nothing appears in the log or in the clusters list either.

On reading the instructions for this and the Nodon Octan switch they appear identical apart from the physical buttons themselves so I was hoping it would be picked up as this. I can't force it to try the driver for the Octan though as that is just part of the Generic driver so I guess the fingerprint would need to match 100% for it to use it?

I found a Smartthings DTH for it (which is for the Octan but works on ST with this apparently) but I know Hubitat and ST handle buttons very differently so I don't think they is an easy conversion from that.

Any ideas?

Solved.

Following the advice in another post about the Nodon Soft remote, I removed the device, reset it, excluded it and then re-installed. It took several attempts to pair but now it's working fine under the Generic Zwave Button Controller . It detects long and short presses.

The only issue is that the unit is physically a bit smaller than I'd hoped for. I'm in the UK and I'm using it to cover the back box that is now hard wired for Hue bulbs. While the hole pitches are correct the surround trim is smaller than a standard UK switch plate so exposes some of the wall that was previously covered. Depending on your decor that might be OK, but mine is a bit ropey under the switch so I'm using a blanking plate underneath to cover it. It's OK, but it's not the neatest install.
