You use events. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zwave_js/#events
The Minimote will emit a Scene Activation which can be seen in the event data.
Thanks for your help @freshcoast. I’m new to home assistant and I’m having trouble following the instructions. This is what I see in my ZWaveJS2MQTT dashboard:
Based on that, and the instructions, i wrote this:
"type": "notification",
"domain": "zwave_js",
"node_id": 3,
"home_id": "4275921572",
"device_id": "134-3-1",
"label": "Minimote",
"parameters": {"userId": 1}
I was not sure about:
- what to put in the label field
- what to put in the parameter field
- do I have to do something special to indicate that the remote has 4 buttons that can be tapped or held?
- Where do I put that code?
- What do I put in the trigger for the automation?
Thanks!
I am trying the same thing. I think it should be something similar to the following, but still can’t get it to work.
@eseelke from where do you get the parameter? Could the problem be with my ZWaveJS2MQTT container? This is my docker-compose:
version: '3.7'
services:
zwavejs2mqtt:
container_name: zwavejs2mqtt
image: zwavejs/zwavejs2mqtt:latest
restart: always
tty: true
stop_signal: SIGINT
networks:
- zwave
devices:
- '/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0'
volumes:
- ./store:/usr/src/app/store
ports:
- '8091:8091'
- '3000:3000'
networks:
zwave:
I don’t know for sure. I am just guessing.
I think the nanomote, minimote and wallmote are basically all the same thing
You could probably use @bachya’s blueprint for the nanomote to make automations a little easier. Pretty sure you just need to change the model and possibly the manufacturer.
@troy thanks for the help. I modified the blueprint but i’m clearly doing something wrong:
This is my modified blue print:
---
blueprint:
name: AEON minimote
description: Create automations for the AEON minimote.
domain: automation
input:
aeon_minimote:
name: AEON minimote
description: AEON minimote.
selector:
device:
integration: zwave_js
manufacturer: AEON Labs
model: Minimote 4 button remote control
button_1:
name: Press Button One
description: Action to run on button press.
default: []
selector:
action: {}
button_2:
name: Press Button Two
description: Action to run on button press.

selector:
action: {}
button_3:
name: Press Button Three
description: Action to run on button press.

selector:

button_4:
name: Press Button Four
description: Action to run on button press.
default: []
selector:
action: {}
mode: single
max_exceeded: silent
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: zwave_js_event
event_data:
command_class_name: Central Scene
device_id: !input aeon_minimote
action:
- variables:
scene_id: "{{ trigger.event.data.property_key_name }}"
- choose:
- conditions: "{{ scene_id == '001' }}"
sequence: !input button_1
- conditions: "{{ scene_id == '002' }}"
sequence: !input button_2
- conditions: "{{ scene_id == '003' }}"
sequence: !input button_3
- conditions: "{{ scene_id == '004' }}"
sequence: !input button_4
In case it helps:
what am I doing wrong?
I don’t see why it would be different, but please confirm that’s what Home Assistant is seeing
Using my Nanomote as an example
You can also try putting quotes around the model name
model: "Minimote 4 button remote control"
Or even try removing that line completely
I made progress by modifying the blueprint as follows:
---
blueprint:
name: AEON minimote
description: Create automations for the AEON minimote.
domain: automation
input:
aeon_minimote:
name: AEON minimote
description: AEON minimote.
selector:
device:
integration: zwave_js
manufacturer: AEON Labs
model: DSA03XXX-ZW
button_1:
name: Press Button One
description: Action to run on button press.
default: []
selector:
action: {}
button_2:
name: Press Button Two
description: Action to run on button press.
default: []
selector:
action: {}
button_3:
name: Press Button Three
description: Action to run on button press.
default: []
selector:
action: {}
button_4:
name: Press Button Four
description: Action to run on button press.
default: []
selector:
action: {}
mode: single
max_exceeded: silent
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: zwave_js_event
event_data:
command_class_name: Central Scene
device_id: !input aeon_minimote
action:
- variables:
scene_id: "{{ trigger.event.data.property_key_name }}"
- choose:
- conditions: "{{ scene_id == '001' }}"
sequence: !input button_1
- conditions: "{{ scene_id == '002' }}"
sequence: !input button_2
- conditions: "{{ scene_id == '003' }}"
sequence: !input button_3
- conditions: "{{ scene_id == '004' }}"
sequence: !input button_4
Now I can create an automation:
Alas, nothing happens when I press the button. My guess is that this part of the blueprint is wrong:
conditions: "{{ scene_id == '001' }}"
sequence: !input button_1
I also guess that the right value is avaialble somewhere in the debug info:

Any suggestions?
I’m out of ideas at the moment – I’m pretty new to Z-Wave JS myself I haven’t had time to move my own devices to these new blueprints yet - I don’t template much so I got figure some out by trial and error.
how do you get to that option to listen to events??
Have you ever used this device before? If not, you need to configure it to be in scene mode.
I used this device with smart things before moving to home assistant. How do I configure it to be a scene mode?
Could the problem be that the status of the remote is dead? If so, how do I fix that?
The device is dead because it hasn’t finished the interview process (stage ProcotolInfo). The guide linked explains how to wake up the device to complete it. You need to manually wake it to finish, getting it to a Complete interview stage.
Press and hold the Learn Button (or Join Button) for 3 seconds, then let go. This should keep the Minimote awake for 30 seconds.
There are instructions here: In-Depth Minimote Guide : Aeotec Help Desk, for wake up and scene mode configurationn.
You also need v1.18+ of the firmware to use scene mode. Once the node is fully interviewed you can see the version number.
If you were using the public Smart Things device handler for the minimote, looks like it sets up some configuration for you. I don’t know if it assumes Scene mode, or configures Group mode as well.
it looks like it has the right firmware version:
I tried setting the buttons to scene mode using the UI but it did not make a difference:
You have to wake the device again to set parameters. I think it stays awake for 30 seconds. Were the buttons already Scene Mode, or other?
