I've been reading around about the Minimote, it got good reviews, so I got it... not having read the forums first

 

I see what seems like a mixed bag of success, and can't quite tell if it'll work without going to 5.x beta.

 

Also - I tried adding the device to the ISY, and it seemed to work (got a message that counted 1, 2, 3, 4...)  but I can't find it.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

thx

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

The minimote is not supported in 4.5.x but will be fully supported in the 5.0.x branch.  It uses configuration parameters instead of the standard Z-Wave command classes so it requires us to do some custom coding for it.

Thanks Chris - I haven't looked into the development timeline - when is 5.0 expected?

We're in Alpha now, and anticipate the official release early next year.

Ok... in the mean time - are there any wireless, wall-mounted switches or remotes that are fully compatible?

 

thanks

Andrew

Looks like from some other posts that z-wave remotes will not work.

 

Will Insteon remotes/wireless switches work?

Hi Andrew,

 

Yes, all INSTEON remotes work with ISY.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Great, thanks.

I also have a mini-mote - and am on the latest 4.5 branch of ISY firmware.

 

Am I able to use the minimote at all with 4.5.x?

 

Specifically, I'd like to use the minimote to help secure add schlage zwave doors.  Is this possible?

 

Also, is there any documentation on how to setup the minimote as a secondary controller if it is possible?

 

Thanks.

You can use the MiniMote as a single-channel device.
