WizMote Control

A WizMote gives you physical control over playback on your CAST-1. The Apollo CAST-1 WizMote blueprint maps each of the nine buttons to a playback action, a light toggle, or any Home Assistant action you want, all set up without leaving Home Assistant.

Every button ships with a sensible default, so your WizMote works the moment you import the blueprint. Open any button's dropdown to change it, or set one to Send HA Event to run a custom action like playing a Music Assistant playlist.

Button Default action
On Play
Off Pause
Night Toggle Light
Brightness Up Volume Up
Brightness Down Volume Down
Button 1 Previous Track
Button 2 Next Track
Button 3 Send HA Event
Button 4 Send HA Event

Each dropdown offers the same choices: Nothing, Play, Pause, Play / Pause, Next Track, Previous Track, Volume Up, Volume Down, Toggle Light, or Send HA Event.

Pair Your WizMote

Before the blueprint can control anything, pair your WizMote with the CAST-1.

1. On your CAST-1 device page, turn on WizMote Auto-Discovery.

2. Press any button on your WizMote. The CAST-1 pairs with it and WizMote Status updates to show the paired remote. (1)

  1. Pairing a different WizMote later? Use Clear WizMote Pairing on the device to unpair, then turn WizMote Auto-Discovery back on and press a button on the new remote.

Import the Blueprint

1. Click the Import Blueprint button below then click Open link.

Import Blueprint

2. Click Preview then click Import Blueprint.

3. Click on Apollo CAST-1 WizMote, then click Select a device and choose your Apollo CAST-1 from the dropdown.

4. Every button already has a default, so your WizMote works right away. To change one, open its dropdown and pick a different action.

5. For any button set to Send HA Event (Buttons 3 and 4 by default), click Add Action below it and choose what it should do, like playing a Music Assistant playlist or toggling a light.

6. Name your automation something like Apollo CAST-1 WizMote and click Save. Your WizMote now controls your CAST-1!
