So I don't think anything worked...
First I opened a terminal and ran
sudo mono /usr/local/bin/homegenie/HomeGenie.exe
I'm running ubuntu. I saw a bunch of output, nothing that seemed to indicate it correctly recognized the minimote.
Aeon provided me with a rough draft for the next version of their minimote instructions. It's pretty rough--it seems like it was written by a non-native english speaker, like one of their engineers, and they haven't had it professionally edited yet. I don't know if they would want me to post the whole thing, so I'll just post the relevant parts:
There are 2 different minimotes with different labeling. The Scene buttons are numbered, and the buttons under the panel are different. Just update the Minimote firmware with the instructions below and the button mapping will be the same.
+ Button = Include Button
- Button = Exclude Button
Blank Button = Associate Button
Join Button = Learn Button
Follow these simple steps to put your Minimote as a secondary controller to your current Primary Controller.
1) Put your primary controller into inclusion mode (it’s the same as adding new devices into your network)
2) Tap on the Learn button on your new Minimote
3) You should see the LEDs on the Minimote flash, then blink blue to indicate a success. You should now be able to see and configure the Minimote on your Primary controllers interface.
I removed the minimote according to the instructions for the zstick "Removal-Mode : Deleting/Removing/Excluding ZWave Devices from the Z-Wave Network".
I also tried removing it in the homegenie devices options screen but I'm not sure that worked. It said to press the button on your device, waiting, so I pressed the "learn" button on the minimote and nothing happened--timeout. Same thing happened when I tired to add node through homegenie.
So I removed the zstick and did the normal inclusion, push the zstick button then push the minimote learn button and that seemed successful. When I plugged the zstick back into the machine and ran homegenie discovery it found a generic node. It's done this before, but I don't think it's correct. The "updated nodes" in the output below are my switches and dimmers. The "added node 12" represents the ~5th time I tried to add the minimote. Every time I tried to add the minimote I see a new added node that never gets updated.
Anyway, I added this node to my dash, and press some buttons, and I never saw anything on the hg gui. I never seemed to see anything on the command line that lined up with my button presses.
