Key fob recommendations

You use this driver for the Aeon Key Fob? Guess I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: I can get it to pair without a problem, but can't seem to do anything else.

Hello, same problem, pair but don't do anything...

I'll try and re-pair mine tomorrow and let you know how I go.

Perfect, lot of thanks.

Ok, I had this wrong, as I have two fobs, I got them mixed up.

Here's how to connect them.

  1. Do a reset
  • Hold the pin in the mode hole on the back for around 20 seconds, the red light will start flashing quicker and quicker until it goes solid green. Thats reset.
  1. Press the Learn button once and it will start flashing green

  2. Search for devices, and a "device" should be found.

  3. Change the device driver manually to the Aeon Minimote and apply

  4. Hit configure just in case on the device page

  5. Take the fob out of learn mode.

    To take the fob out of pairing mode, you need two pins, or paperclips etc and push both the
    learn and mode buttons at the same time for 3 or 4 seconds (so you need 2 paperclips).

You can tell if the fob is in “learn” mode if …

Pushing button 1 gives slow green flash
Pushing button 2 gives slow red flash
Pushing button 3 does nothing
Pushing button 4 gives slow green flash

If that’s the case you need to re-do steps above. When the fob is in “use” mode, pressing any of the buttons should give a brief green flash on the LED.

This took me several attempts to pair and configure successfully, its a very fiddly process!!

There is a thread on ST here, where I got most of the instructions from, so this may also help.

I don't want to unpair it again, in case I can't get it working again :smiley:

Hey @Royski, thank you so much. You mention the "Aeon Minimote" device driver. Just to confirm, I'm referring to the "Aeon Key Fob" (see picture below). Are we saying the same thing?

Exactly this :+1: set the driver to be the minimote when added.

Awesome! Will try tonight.

Checked mine today, and its still working :wink:

I do your steps but didn't work.
Reset keyfob.
Pair good, flashing green, and ask for name, I put the name and click save.
Then I go to devices put device as mininote, click change and config.
Then on key fob push learn and mode at the same time and led change from red to green.

When I click on key fob any button the light is red and on hub dosnt do anything...

I have pair and unpair many times and same result :frowning:
Any idea?

Thanks

Well, I got a lot further, thanks to @Royski's instructions, but still not all the way there. Paired fine. Changed to the Minimote device handler fine. I can control from the device details page without a problem. But I can't press or hold any of the four buttons from the fob itself. And yes, it is in use mode, not learn mode.

Very odd. I'm beginning to suspect that I have a defective device. I may try Aeon support if I can work up the patience. Thanks for the help just the same!

Hello, for me same problem but this device on smartthing works, is not device problem....
Helpppp please :pray:
Thanks.

Have to say, these fobs are a real PITA.
Maybe these instructions may be better?
