Hi all,
A blueprint for the black remote, as an extension to some yaml I found here from martijn.kriens.
Some stuff you need to know about this remote:
Pairing
For pairing I found this this manual to work. But be sure that when they say ‘Immidietly press five times’ (when resetting) it means press five times but leave enough time for the led to blink (press-blink-press-blink etc). It took me a lot of swearing.
Events sent by the buttons.
Big button on just sends a ‘short press on’ for all four groups, so four events.
Big button off just sends a ‘short press off’ for all four groups so four events.
Long press sends one event upon press, and one upon release. So you have
1_0 long press
1_1 long press
1_long press stop etc.
you can choose to just map an action, but what I did was create a helper boolean, then set that boolean to true on long press, create a 'repeat until routine that stops when the boolean is false. Then have the stop event set the boolean to false. The S1/S2 buttons simply send a different event upon short and long press, I mapped them to four different scenes.
