[quote=“cpmilez, post:14, topic:184807”]After many hours, i’ve finally managed to get my key fob (Gen5) to work. I was able to pair it easily using the same instructions as found online, however after switching to scene mode the buttons failed to send any commands to Vera. The light was indicating red as well which didn’t seem right and the instructions indicated it should be green.
I then set the parameter 250 =1 in for the device in Vera and then whilst holding down a button on the fob and clicking “configure node right now” under the device settings it updated the key fob with the new parameter and after that the key fob gave me a green light when pressing buttons, some progress! From checking the logs I could see Vera was then getting a command when a button was pressed so I setup a scene to trigger when scene 1 was activated. This worked hooray!!! However… I then found the same scene triggered regardless of which button i pressed, booo!!!
At this point I contacted Vesternet who gave me some pointers. Apparently Aeon changed the way that they send Scene commands in the Gen5 version of the keyfob, so they no longer get mapped correctly to the “sl_SceneActivated” variable - this is what the built in Scene Controller support in Vera uses to Trigger Scenes from.
The Scene IDs are now as follows:
Button 1 short press = 1
Button 1 long press = 2
Button 2 short press = 3
Button 2 long press = 4
Button 3 short press = 5
Button 3 long press = 6
Button 4 short press = 7
Button 4 long press = 8
However this part didn’t really help as if I set the scene to trigger on scene activated = 1 it would trigger for all 4 buttons. From my logs I found the “sl_SceneActivated” variable was always 1, however “LastSceneID” variable was correct and matched to the mapping table above. Using this and another example from Vesternet support for the Z-wave.me Wall Controller I was able to easily add some Luup code to the scene to act differently for each button. Here’s the code I used.
Firstly set the trigger for the keyfob device - “scene activated” and put the scene number to *
Then in the Luup code use something like this below.
-
Replace: “232” for the deviceid of your key fob.
-
pushbullet_push is just a function I used for testing, you can put anything you want here to control a device or run another scene for example.
luup.call_delay('scene_controller', 1)
function scene_controller()
local lastSceneID= luup.variable_get("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1", "LastSceneID", 232)
if (lastSceneID== "1") then
pushbullet_push('Debug', 'Button1 Pressed')
elseif (lastSceneID== "2") then
pushbullet_push('Debug', 'Button1 Press/Hold')
elseif (lastSceneID== "3") then
pushbullet_push('Debug', 'Button2 Pressed')
elseif (lastSceneID== "4") then
pushbullet_push('Debug', 'Button2 Press/Hold')
elseif (lastSceneID== "5") then
pushbullet_push('Debug', 'Button3 Pressed')
elseif (lastSceneID== "6") then
pushbullet_push('Debug', 'Button3 Press/Hold')
elseif (lastSceneID== "7") then
pushbullet_push('Debug', 'Button4 Pressed')
elseif (lastSceneID== "8") then
pushbullet_push('Debug', 'Button4 Press/Hold')
end
end

Please note this was done on a Vera Lite with Firmware: 1.5.672

Hi cpmilez,
I still having issue trying to configure the Aeon Key Fob. Here are list of action that I take once I successfully added the key fob into my Vera lite V1.5.672.
-
I hold the Mode and Learn button behind the Key Fob to change it to USE mode.
-
I go the device setting pop-up under ‘Device Options’ tab → Add Configuration Settings → Variable:250, Data Size:1 byte dec, Desired Value:1 (see attachment: “Setting Parameter”)
-
Close the device setting pop-up and SAVE.
-
I then hold down the top left button on my key fob until green led flashing. then on the device setting pop-up under “Settings” tab, I clicked “Configuration node right now”.
-
Vera telling me that trying to communicate with the key fob.
-
I got an error from Vera telling me “Unable to get any information on node”. (See attachment: “Configuration Error”)
I kept trying step 4 for a couple of time but no good outcome. Please do let me know if I got any set up wrong or missing any steps.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance.
