I purchased this remote keyfob to use with Home Assistant, I have the aeotech z-stick thing and my zwave network works fine for a light and some sensors so far.
Im having trouble getting the remote to work though. I contacted the company I bought it from and they assure me other customers have got it working with Home Assistant but cannot give me any more information…
My problem seems to be, when it is in scene activation mode, it does not seem to transmit ?
When in the central scene mode, i press a key, and the light blinks and OZW log shows central scene things, but to my knowledge these dont really work in HA…
So I change it over to scene mode, but now when i press buttons, it does not do anything. No light, nothing in the logs, nothing.
Is there anybody else that has this remote and or can help me get it going?
I just purchased one of these also. When I press a button, the following appears in ozw log:
2018-10-05 12:52:56.306 Info, Node016, Received Central Scene set from node 16: scene id=1 in 0 seconds. Sending event notification.
2018-10-05 12:52:56.306 Warning, Node016, No ValueID created for Scene 1
I have the same problem. I can’t see the event occur in HASS but it does occur in the OZW log!
It should be possible to get this to work if you make some changes to your zwcfg file. Let’s go out on a limb here and see if it’s possible.
I’d say the operating mode you need here is Central Scene Mode (use manual to find out how to set the switch). Looking at the instruction manual, it seems that you’ve got three possible gestures here: short press, long press, and release after a long press.
Without having a fob on me, I’m going to say this should work.
First, edit your zwcfg file per the instructions here.
Instead of the xml code in the example there, use the code below.
