Thank you cpmilez1! Fantastic work figuring it out!
Here is some additional and expanded information to get your Aeon Gen5 Key Fob working WITHOUT luup code (until Vera fixes the device setup in a firmware update).
Tested on a Vera 3 running UI7 with Firmware 1.7.481
- Include your key fob as a device in Vera (help on this is not discussed here)
- Set your key fob in USE mode. Do this by depressing and holding the pin in the rear of the fob's Mode and Learn holes simultaneously for 3 seconds. To make sure you are now in USE mode, press all four buttons, one at a time. They all should light up in red when pressed. If not, repeat this step.
- Go to Devices, click on the > next to the controller name (default name is: _Scene Controller)
- Scroll down and select "Device Options"
- On the Device Options screen, click on "Add configuration settings"
- In the "Variable" field, input: 250
- In the "Data Size" field, select: 1 byte dec
- In the "Desired Value" field, input: 1
- Click on the "Back" button at the top of the screen
- Scroll down and click on "Advanced"
- On Advanced screen, scroll down to the bottom where the "Configure node right now" button is
- Bring the key fob withing 3 feet of the Vera box and press and hold the top left button on the key fob (button 1), and then click on "Configure node right now" button. Keep the key fob button pressed for at least 10 seconds.
- Click "Ok" on the popup
- Check to see if your key fob is in Scene mode by pressing each of the buttons. If each of the buttons light up green, you are in Scene mode. If not, repeat the "Configure node right now" step
- Your key fob is ready to activate scenes
- Go to "Scenes" to create a scene for your key fob
- Click on "+ Add Scene"
- Click on "Select a device"
- Choose your key fob controller
- Select "A scene is activated"
- Enter the scene number (button number) you want to use to activate this scene
- Here's where it gets odd:
IF Vera had the setup right, the scene numbers should associate like this:
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, the associated numbers are actually:
Button 1 short press = 5
Button 1 long press = 6
Button 2 short press = 7
Button 2 long press = 8
Button 3 short press = 1
Button 3 long press = 1
Button 4 short press = 8
Button 4 long press = 1
As you can see, you will only have 5 out of 8 unique button variations to choose from. Pressing Button 3 short, Button 3 long, and Button 4 long will activate the same scene. Pressing Button 2 long and Button 4 short will activate the same scene.
- Click on "Validate"
- Continue setting up the scene as you normally would
- Your key fob should now work!
If you want/have to use all the buttons on your key fob for unique scenes, set up one scene with multiple triggers to be activated by button numbers 1,5,6,7, and 8. Leave Step 2 - Device Actions empty. Then use cpmilez1's luup code to configure each button's action. This should work in theory, however, I have not tried it.
Many thanks again to cpmilez1. Any help my post is for someone is due to your research on the problem.
