Please make sure you download the correct Z-Wave Frequency and begin the update with the WallMote 7 as close as 10ft / 3m distance to your hub to avoid any possible firmware update issues to avoid bricking your device.


It is highly recommended to run USB power when firmware updating this sensor.

Update using a Z-Wave USB Adapter
