I think it should be possible now. We just have to wait for one of the zwave super gurus to help us out :)

We should offfer a MiniMote as a gift to one of those guru's and hope he'll go crazy about it not working and then solving the problem  ;D

Also no luck whatsoever on (supposedly) 1.17 Minimote firmware, MiOS firmware 1.1.1245.  The VersionInfo field never gets any text, and Capabilities only sometimes shows "18,150,0,1,1,1,B,|112,114,133,134,155,".

If someone who has actually got this to work could post screenshots of their Advanced tab, I could see if it's a case of Vera Can't Configure Minimote, or if it's more fundamental.

Well the remote is not working with vera, but in my case the version info and the capabilities are always shown, doesn't depend if I add it as a normal zwave device or as a secondary controller. The device name is also set to "_MiniMote" automatically when device is added. See attached screen shots of my advanced tab.

I'm imagining that the custom configuration info would need to look something like this, but I can't get close to the point where the thing will configure.  It always ends at "Failed at: Purging Associations".

It seems that holding the Learn button down puts the Minimote in "wakeup" mode.  This might be necessary but it isn't sufficient.

chixxi, thanks for your screen caps; I agree that yours doesn't look complete either.

BTW, I asked the uberguru yesterday to comment on what environment leads to a working MiniMote per the wiki; nothing yet.

Aeon Labs just provided the following Information to me:

...as a secondary controller to the network, you are sending out Scene Activation Command Class Value 1-8 depending on button pressed and if it was tapped or held.  i hope this helps.

So I guess we need to get the Vera to understand these commands, but I have no clue how to achieve that.

Nice! 8)

In the absence of a response from MCV as to what configuration was used to write the wiki page, I've updated it to reflect users' findings.

wow Great news! i have a vera2 and running UI4. I am reluctant to upgrade since I have read issues with plugins. Is there any ways this could work with UI4? (anyways i tried the http://cp.mios.com/firmware to upgrade to UI5 and it could not find my machine) Any suggestions?

Try to disable password on Vera 2, then it will find your machine.
