bump: waiting for same
How about it MCV (or anyone) any progress?
I attempted to try scene 0, 255 as well as 1,2,3,4 and still no go with scenes. Ive asked Aeon Labs to synch up with MCV, this has got to be something simple!
Does the MiniMote now work with the latest UI3 firmware? I’d like to know what scene numbers work with the buttons, I can’t get it to activate a scene.
FYI, for those interested in adding MiniMote to work with Scenes in Vera, I contacted Aeon Labs and CC’d MCV management
here is what I got from Aeon Labs Management below, and they CC’d MCV management on the reply. I don’t think this will help us end users, ,but lets hope MCV adds in full support for MiniMote due to this.
FROM AEON LABS:
Our Minimote has the ability to send any and all command classes available in Z-Wave or execute any scene using the “Association Command Configuration Command Class”. Please find the attached engineering specification to do this as well as an in depth example below.
The following commands should work with your Minimote in order to have it send Basic Set 1 when button 1 is pressed, Basic Set 2 when button 2 is pressed and so on to your gateway. These can be sent to any node ID from the minimote.
FORMAT OF DATA:
- Setting Button #1 to send Basic Set 1
ZW_SendData(Configuration CC, Configuration Set, 241, 1, 1); - Changes the function on Button #1 to being Z-Wave programmable.
ZW_SendData(Association Command Configuration CC, Command Config Set, 0, nodeID to receive transmission, 3, Basic CC, Basic Set, 1); - A tap on Button #1 will send Basic Set 1 to the NodeID.
EXAMPLES:
-
Setting Button #1 to send Basic Set 11 to NodeID 77.
ZW_SendData(0x70, 0x04, 241, 1, 1);
ZW_SendData(0x9B, 0x03, 0, 77, 3, 0x20, 0x01, 11); -
Setting Button #2 to send Basic Set 22 to NodeID 77.
ZW_SendData(0x70, 0x04, 242, 1, 1);
ZW_SendData(0x9B, 0x03, 40, 77, 3, 0x20, 0x01, 22); -
Setting Button #3 to send Basic Set 33 to NodeID 77.
ZW_SendData(0x70, 0x04, 243, 1, 1);
ZW_SendData(0x9B, 0x03, 80, 77, 3, 0x20, 0x01, 33); -
Setting Button #4 to send Basic Set 44 to NodeID 77.
ZW_SendData(0x70, 0x04, 244, 1, 1);
ZW_SendData(0x9B, 0x03, 120, 77, 3, 0x20, 0x01, 44); -
Setting Button #5 to send Basic Set 55 to NodeID 77.
ZW_SendData(0x70, 0x04, 245, 1, 1);
ZW_SendData(0x9B, 0x03, 160, 77, 3, 0x20, 0x01, 55); -
Setting Button #6 to send Basic Set 66 to NodeID 77.
ZW_SendData(0x70, 0x04, 246, 1, 1);
ZW_SendData(0x9B, 0x03, 240, 77, 3, 0x20, 0x01, 66);
Bump. I recently bought a Vera and minimote and would really like to see these devices work together. I’m using UI2 + Vera 2.
I’m being stupid here but is it possible to get the Minimote controlling individual devices through Vera as well as Scenes?
Mine still won’t control scenes, but I do have it as a secondary controller and it’s working fine with my Vera on UI4 Beta
I’m new to this so please can you tell me what is meant by ‘secondary controller’. I thought that Vera would ‘see’ the Minimote (which it does) and that I would be able to add devices to the buttons via Vera? Is this what you mean? Or are you working with the minimote directly controlling the devices without using Vera?
Many thanks for you help
Ping.
Is there any work being done to make Minimote work with Vera using scenes?
It would be amusing to try something like:
[tt] luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1”,“SendData”,{Node=“70”, Data=“…”}, 1)[/tt]
and work out what combination of the “Data” parameter resulted in the “right” ZWave messages going out over the wire (enable that level of logging in Vera’s /etc/cmh/cmh.conf and watch the logs)
I’m sure with some experimentation, the above commands could be “sent out” via a Plugin, if someone had the time to experiment…
sorry to dredge up an old thread but any news MCV? Is the minimote going to to be supported to run scenes?
Aeon Labs was showing the Minimote in Key FOB form at CEDIA.
I hope it can be easily added soon, as I want that thing on my keychain.
cool! 8)
Bump.
It’s about a year. Any news on the Minimote scene button problem? Did anyone manage to make the scene buttons work through vera and not through minimote direct button association?
MCV please update us on the status of the mini-mote, can it control scenes yet?
Bump. Sry for bringing up an old topic but uhh… I have been wanting to grab an Aeon Labs Minimote myself.
Does anyone know with the Z Wave Firmware 3.2 and the Vera Beta Firmware 1.1.1245 if the issue with getting Vera’s scenes to be triggered using this sleek little device has been resolved or not?
I am having a hard time deciding between the Aeon Labs Minimote or the Intermatic HA09C. I really like how small and nice looking the Minimote is, however functionality is key.
(i didn’t see it in the release notes, unless i’m blind or missed it) 
I am glad you did!! i am still waitingh on that as well!!
How difficult is this? I would have hoped this would have been given more attention much earlier on, as well. Especially with the large boom of Vera sales in the last year, you’d think that things like this could be taken care of. The Mini Mote and the GE Battery Scene controller need the better integration into Vera and accurate How To’s on the wiki. Those of us who have wasted money on these are falling through the loop holes in the compatibility guarantee.
Sorry for trying to raise the dead for this post.
Is there any updates regarding the minmote issue? For the sake of the tears and cries of the numerous unlucky minimote owners!
Agreed, still looking for an answer… almost 2 years later… lol
I am not sure what Aeon Labs’ role in this is, like maybe MCV and Aeon had a falling out and now we get the short end of the stick.
I don’t understand how Aeon Labs expects to sell anything of theirs if it isn’t A. available anywhere to buy and B. not compatible or working in Vera or other systems?
Why are scene controllers a complete Cluster F__K in Vera, regardless of manufacturer?
