From f19eed57539e74254cdac76bd02e876f6f0572a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brandon Harvey <8107750+bharvey88@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 19:55:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Fix the WizMote Ethernet pairing note and drop em dashes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The pairing note said the CAST-1 waits 30 seconds on each radio channel, which misread the firmware. In CAST-1_ETH.yaml the scan interval runs every 2 seconds, and the 30000 ms check is an idle threshold, not a per channel dwell. wizmote_last_packet_ms is only set for an already paired MAC, so during pairing it never updates and the device hops channels every couple of seconds, sweeping all 13 in well under a minute. Telling someone to wait a few minutes hides a genuine pairing failure. Also replaces the em dash placeholders in the Sensor Definitions configuration table with n/a. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --- docs/products/cast1/examples/wizmote-blueprint.md | 4 ++-- docs/products/cast1/setup/sensor-definitions.md | 10 +++++----- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/products/cast1/examples/wizmote-blueprint.md b/docs/products/cast1/examples/wizmote-blueprint.md index b075f64b36..c3bb1a4759 100644 --- a/docs/products/cast1/examples/wizmote-blueprint.md +++ b/docs/products/cast1/examples/wizmote-blueprint.md @@ -39,9 +39,9 @@ Before the blueprint can control anything, pair your WizMote with the CAST-1. ![](/assets/cast-1-pair-wizmote.gif) -!!! note "Pairing takes longer on the Ethernet firmware" +!!! note "Pairing works a little differently on the Ethernet firmware" - With no Wi-Fi to follow, your CAST-1 scans radio channels 1 through 13 looking for the WizMote, waiting 30 seconds on each one before moving on.
