(18 actions!!) This Blueprint uses the Z2M (Zigbee2MQTT) imported Action sensor to sort out the 18 commands from the 6 buttons of a ZemiSmart ZM-RM02 Controller. The split out of functions gives you the ability to assign local scripts or functions to do the things you want the remote to do. Functions that are left empty will simply do nothing.

Why do I need this?
This Blueprint uses the Z2M (Zigbee2MQTT) imported Action sensor to sort out the 18 commands from the 6 buttons of a ZemiSmart ZM-RM02 Controller. The split out of functions gives you the ability to assign local scripts or functions to do the things you want the remote to do. Functions that are left empty will simply do nothing.
Configuration
Requirements
- My ‘suggestion’ is that you do separate scripts for most, if not all of the actions you generate here. If you are using the UI editor for the simple things you are fine, but for more complicated things scripts may work better for you. This is my opinion and how I am using it, to each their own. Building functions within the uI is also available if you are more comfortable with that.
- To make the Blueprint work you will need a functional RM02 integrated to Home Assistant thru Zigbee2MQTT and find the sensor entity in the Home Assistant Device tab that Z2M imported which is named similar this:
If you do not see that sensor, ‘LegacyAPI’ might not be selected in the Zigbee2MQTT settings - settings - advanced menu. Please find and check/select that setting like so:
– SCROLL DOWN –
Input fields
remote/name: Remote
The entity to put here is the sensor that Z2M imported that is
named like this -> ```sensor.XXYour_HameXX_action```'

It won’t work… Are my Button presses working?
There is sample code to make the template sensor in the help file on GitHub Repo.
Within this blueprint there is an event handler that will latch the last command that the blueprint finds and sends that to the event buss. From there a simple Template sensor can grab it and show you the last action sent. This will help when setting up new functions and to troubleshoot strange behaviors. Add an entity card in your dashboard for sensor.cube_last_action to see what actions occur as you press the buttons.

Troubleshooting tip
If you are troubleshooting and you want to see more traces back when doing so, here is a TIP I’ve found.
Manually edit the automation created with the ui editor (or manually with a text editor) and add the following to have this automation contain 10 traces instead of the normal 5. Then if the automation is triggering often, you can see the last 10 traces to help you decide what the issue is.
HA Docs on this here.

stored_traces: 10
Version Updates
Updates will be published on my GIT repository with the rest of my Home Assistant Blueprint collection.
There is not an official version control system for Blueprints. However I have found something that comes pretty close. It is not perfect, but for MOST Blueprints, it does just fine. I encourage you to check this script out and use it to easily check if I have updated this blueprint. koter84 Blueprint Update Script
