ESPHome WizMote Receiver

A pair of simple ESPHome components to receive button presses from the WizMote.

What is the WizMote?

The WizMote is a Wi-Fi enabled remote controller from Wiz that uses ESP-NOW to control their own branded light bulbs and switches etc.

What does this repo do?

This repo will allow you to use an ESP running ESPHome to "intercept" the WizMote button presses, and forward them to Home Assistant, or act on them directly within ESPHome.

This repo also contains a blueprint for a Home Assistant automation which allows setting up any 4 lights in Home Assistant to be controlled by the WizMote.

If you are using an ESP32, wifi power save can interfere with reliable ESP-NOW reception. You can disable it with:
