Minoston MR40Z S2 Remote Control Switch (z-wave scene controller)

Blueprints Exchange

Here’s a blueprint to integrate the Minoston 4-button Zwave Plus (S2) scene controller switch.
This is a battery-powered scene controller with 4 buttons, two large and two small, in a detachable decora-sized form factor. It supports up to 3x presses for each button as well as ‘hold’ and ‘release’ triggers.

I’ve based this Blueprint on one for the Remotec ZRC-90 by @rule.

Thanks, I had the “blueprint:” section in my original post, but I guess the forum software stripped it because it was on the same line as the start of the code block.

Typo:
scene_value_id == 'KeyPressede3x'
should be
scene_value_id == 'KeyPressed3x'

I realized that I responded to wrong post. Here is response to code by Participant:

Typo:
scene_value_id == 'KeyPressede3x'
should be
scene_value_id == 'KeyPressed3x'

Fixed, thanks.

Thank you for creating this blueprint. I love these little remotes.

This may be a silly question, but I am having a problem setting the color of the light from HA. I tried by checking the box for the color name and selected the color “white”, however when I turn on the light it comes on with whatever color the light was last at, rather than the color white.

I also tried checking the box to specify the RGB value. I tried a value of 255 255 255, but then the light did not turn on at all. I then tried [255, 255, 255]. The light did turn on and off again, but still stays at whatever color it last was instead of the color specified.

Any suggestions?

Turns out it is nothing to do with the blueprint, I can reproduce the issue with a simple script. What I have found is that I cannot change the light color and the light brightness at the same time. If I only change one thing it works. If I try to set both, only one change will be applied. To get it to work I have to run 2 actions, one that changes the color and one that changes the brightness.

10

:+1: Cool, it wasn’t even clear how your first post related to the blueprint, but now I get it.

11

@Participant - Thanks for this. I am having trouble with zwave inclusion. Were they any tricks to get inclusion? I am pressing button one 5 times, but it pulses purple. Tried reset (button 4x5x5) and still getting purple not blue.

12

I don’t recall having to do anything special. It seemed to pair pretty easy, I did use the s2 inclusion QR code, though.

13

Is there a smarter way to do dimming with this template than this?

    button_2_held:
      - repeat:
          sequence:
            - device_id: bd04899bedfe1102cf9a3419ff0939ad
              domain: light
              entity_id: 982965739a285a63ad15534335724739
              type: brightness_decrease
          while:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: event.mremote1_scene_002
              attribute: event_type
              state: KeyHeldDown
14

Not that I’m aware of, but I’d be all ears if there is.

Anyone notice the remote stop working yesterday? Looking at the logs, mine updated to firmware 8.0. Log shows “Office Remote Firmware turned off 2:24:22 PM - 18 hours ago”
Since then it keeps logging that it sees it (example: Last seen changed to April 7, 2024 at 8:17 AM), but buttons don’t do anything or register as a button press. If you press a button, just another seen message pops up. Like all it is doing is pinging but not sending button commands.
