||@andr said in Adding remotes, scene controllers as entities to MSR:

And in that case, I guess that it would work to skip event data and just mapping commands to MSR functions?||

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I don't think you want to skip anything. You should filter the incoming events, to make sure that you are handling the right events from the right device. So you need to be specific in the event filter to both the event type and the sending device.

That was just me trying to understand how stuff is related, not something I would try out.
For example, in my system there is only one device that are sending "Keypressed3x" and that can not be mixed up with anything else. In that case if I had such uniq string to map to MSR command 'triple' I could skip the filtering in event section?

Again, this is just for my own curiosa trying to learn something new.

Anyway, some kinds of sucess the last nights

All buttons are configured and seems to work so far.

The final reactor.yaml looks like this (just showing the first two buttons as it is just the entity name and 'property key' that differ )

event_targets:    # this section starts the event-receiving entities
        "Keyfob_Fyrkant":      # Assign an ID to your entity; each entity must have a unique ID
          name: Lukas Keyfob Fyrkant   # This is optional but recommended, so you have a friendly name
          capabilities: ['button']  # define an array of capabilities to be modified by the event 
          events:  # define an array of events that modify capability attributes on the entity
            - event:  # start of an event; each element of the events array begins this way
                event_type: zwave_js_value_notification
                data:  # optional section, if further matching to the event data is required
                  node_id: 15
                  property: "scene" # Square button
                  property_key: "001"
              response:  # begin the (required) response section for handling the event
                "button.state":  # an attribute that the event modifies.
                  from: "event.data.value"  # dot-reference expression to pull value from event message
                  map:                    # optional, map to modify value
                    KeyPressed: 'single'   # if value is value_in, it is mapped to new_value
                    KeyPressed2x: 'double'
                    KeyPressed3x: 'tripple'
                    KeyHeldDown: 'hold'
                    KeyReleased: 'release'
                "button.since":  # an attribute that the event modifies.
                  from: "event.context.id"  # dot-reference expression to pull value from event message
        "Keyfob_Ring":      # Assign an ID to your entity; each entity must have a unique ID

          capabilities: ['button']  # define an array of capabilities to be modified by the event

            - event:  # start of an event; each element of the events array begins this way
                event_type: zwave_js_value_notification
                data:  # optional section, if further matching to the event data is required
                  node_id: 15
                  property: "scene" # Circle button
                  property_key: "002"
              response:  # begin the (required) response section for handling the event
                "button.state":  # an attribute that the event modifies.
                  from: "event.data.value"  # dot-reference expression to pull value from event message
                  map:                    # optional, map to modify value
                    KeyPressed: 'single'   # if value is value_in, it is mapped to new_value
                    KeyPressed2x: 'double'
                    KeyPressed3x: 'triple'
                    KeyHeldDown: 'hold'
                    KeyReleased: 'release'
                "button.since":  # an attribute that the event modifies.
                  from: "event.context.id"  # dot-reference expression to pull value from event message

A thought that crossed my mind recently, to maybe expand the functions of this little remote in the future.
Fibaro have built in a possibilty for 6 extra scenes that activates after a sequence of button presses I specify. I have not activated this yet as I don't think I really need it, but what I realised is that it probably quite easy to add a lot of differnt button sequences in MSR as long or short that I want?

Next part is to get some rules and actions set-up that can use the remote.

Seems to work like a charm

Started out with a few rules to let him control a Sonos in his room.
This one is for starting his favorite playlist, when it not is bedtime and that playlist isn't already playing.

Thanks ...
I followed this post and managed to successfully use my HANK SCN04 remote with Reactor and Home Assistant.

@christian_fabre
Happy to hear that it come to use (and that myself learned a few things on the way)

No. You must filter. If you don't, every incoming event then causes the response section to act and will likely cause spurious changes of the entity data.

@christian_fabre Do you mind sharing the code you used? I have two of the HANK SCN04 as well, and am trying to do the same thing

I believe that the following is a cleaned-up version of the final code (that which @Andr posted above is not indented properly as shown in these forums and won't work directly, so please use this instead):

You need to copy the lines beginning with event_targets: to the end, and paste them into the config section of the controllers entry for your HassController instance. You should change all instances of XXX to the ZWave node ID of your Hank controller. This will give you buttons 1 and 2. To add buttons 3 and 4, just copy-paste either button 1 or button 2 and modify the button number (property_key), entity name, and entity ID. One Reactor entity is created for each button you configure.

If you are not well-versed in editing YAML, I suggest you make a backup copy of your config directory before making any changes.

I abruptly attach a copy of my file.
I was inspired by the code given in the posts above
It works correctly for me.

[toggledbits]

A couple of things:

1. The indenting is incorrect. The parser may accept it, for now, but a future upgrade to the parser library may be more strict (I do not write the library, I just include it as a dependency). Use a tool like yamllint to fix it.
2. You should not change the values in the map section. The values there are meant to map Hass' values into Reactor's values, and the Reactor-side values you have modified are not valid Reactor values for the button.state attribute. Valid values are defined by Reactor's button capability and include: single, double, triple, 4, 5, hold, release, and long. You should return these to the values originally given, and adjust your condition tests accordingly.

@toggledbits wow, thank you.

I've successfully added the Hank devices to the reactor.yaml file, along with a couple other remotes. Here are my notes for anyone else on this endeavor.

• Hank HKZW-SCN04 has 4 buttons, and from my tests they do not support 2x or 3x clicks/presses.

• Minoston MR40Z V1.0 has 4 buttons, and supports all of the presses that you mapped.

• Zooz ZEN34 Ver. 1.0 has 2 buttons and supports all the presses that you mapped PLUS it has 4x and 5x presses as well.

[apocalypsehobby]

Hey friends - I'm trying this again with another remote, this time the ZB-5001 from RGB Genie.

It's not working yet, but I feel like I'm close. The device is successfully populating into MSR as an Entity, but when I press a button on the remote it does not report any changes to MSR.

Could you help me check my work?

                    off: off

[toggledbits]

"It's not working yet" isn't an adequate description of expectation vs observation, but I can tell right off your map is probably wrong.

map:
  "on": true
  "off": false

The words on and off have special meaning in YAML and must be quoted here. The explicit words true and false for boolean values should be used.

Also, your since value should be put through the time() function, because that attribute is a timestamp, not a string.

If there are other problems, we'd need more narrative description to help lead us in the right direction.

And of course, you've checked the logs for helpful messages, right?

[apocalypsehobby]

@toggledbits Thank you for helping, and that's more than fair.

I was pressing a button on the remote while viewing the Entity section of MSR, and the virtual device showed no change (the values stayed at "null"). I was expecting them to report on/off and to report the time change.

Same goes for buttons 2-5, just tweak the value of "unique_id". Button 1 it ends with "1:0x0006" and button 2 would end with "2:0x0006", etc.

A caveat to this device is the on/off buttons at the very top send the same signal to HA as the "device 1 on/off" buttons (1:0x0006).
