Subject: [PATCH 01/21] Add WizMote (ESP-NOW) remote control
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pair a WizMote and control playback over ESP-NOW. Button mapping:
ON play / OFF pause; Scene 1/2 previous/next track; Scene 3/4 fire HA
events (cast1_wizmote_scene_3 / _4) for playlists/favorites; Bright +/-
volume up/down; Night toggles the RGB light.

Pairing via the WizMote MAC text entity, an Auto-Discovery switch, a
status sensor, and a Clear Pairing button; the peer is restored on boot.

ESP-NOW carries no channel in Core.yaml so it follows WiFi on CAST-1_W.
CAST-1_ETH (no WiFi) adds a starting channel plus a scan interval that
hops channels until the WizMote is heard, then holds. Bump version.

Subject: [PATCH 02/21] Log the action each WizMote button maps to
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The on_broadcast handler logged the raw button number, but nothing
showed what the dispatch actually did with it, so a press that lands
on volume or an HA event looked like nothing happened. Log the mapped
action in each branch (volume logs the resulting level), and warn on
any unmapped button.

Subject: [PATCH 04/21] Move WizMote config into wizmote.yaml
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pull the WizMote pieces (espnow, pairing entities, button dispatch,
globals, substitutions, boot restore) out of Core.yaml into their own
wizmote.yaml, included via packages. Pure reorg: the fully-resolved
config is byte-for-byte the same set of entities on both variants.

+# Pair a WizMote with the Auto-Discovery switch, then control playback:
+#   ON/OFF -> play/pause, Scene 1/2 -> previous/next, Scene 3/4 -> HA events
+#   (esphome.cast1_wizmote_scene_3 / _4), Bright +/- -> volume, Night -> RGB light.

+# The espnow: block carries no channel here so it follows the WiFi channel on

Subject: [PATCH 05/21] Make WizMote buttons remappable from Home Assistant
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add a select per WizMote button (On, Off, Night, Brightness Up/Down,
Button 1-4) so the action is chosen in HA, no YAML editing. Options:
Nothing / Play / Pause / Play-Pause / Next / Previous / Volume Up/Down /
Toggle Light / Send HA Event. Defaults match the previous fixed mapping.

process_wizmote_button now looks up the pressed button's select and runs
a shared run_wizmote_action sub-script. "Send HA Event" fires
esphome.cast1_wizmote_event with the button label in the payload, so any
button can be wired to a playlist/scene/etc. in a HA automation.

Lets users wire any "Send HA Event" button to an HA action (playlist,

per button; triggers on esphome.cast1_wizmote_event.

 names
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

YAML parsed the bare On/Off input names as booleans, so HA rejected the
import. Quote all names. Also relocate the blueprint to a top-level
Blueprints/ directory and point source_url at the new path.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

HA's template engine coerces the numeric button "3" to the int 3 when it
stores the pressed variable, so a variable-level | string is undone and
3 == '3' stayed false. Move | string into each comparison where the cast
survives, so the numeric buttons match.

Subject: [PATCH 11/21] Route WizMote blueprint with native event triggers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace the template choose with one event trigger per button (event_data
filter + trigger id) and condition: trigger. HA matches the raw event
value instead of a Jinja-coerced variable, so the numeric buttons can't
break, it validates at load instead of failing silently, and quoting the
button values avoids the on/off YAML-boolean trap.

Subject: [PATCH 12/21] Configure WizMote buttons entirely from the blueprint
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Each button now has its own Action dropdown (same 10 options as the
device) plus a custom action, grouped in collapsible sections. On HA
start and on save, the blueprint pushes each pick down to the matching
WizMote select on the CAST-1 via select.select_option, so the device
page no longer needs touching - the blueprint is the source of truth.
Local media actions still run on-device; "Send HA Event" runs the
button's custom action. Needs a CAST-1 device picker; no firmware change.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Match the BTN-1 blueprint pattern: filter by manufacturer ApolloAutomation
and the CAST-1-W / CAST-1-ETH models so the picker only lists CAST-1s
instead of every ESPHome device.

 Easily make your speakers smart and cast to multiple devices using Music Assistant and Sendspin!
 
+## WizMote
+
+The CAST-1 gives you full Home Assistant control over a paired Wiz WizMote. Each of the nine buttons (On, Off, Night, Brightness Up/Down, and 1–4) is a configurable select on the device — assign it Play, Pause, Play / Pause, Next/Previous Track, Volume Up/Down, Toggle Light, or Send HA Event. The defaults give you media controls out of the box.
+
+Set any button to **Send HA Event** to trigger a custom Home Assistant action — play a Music Assistant playlist, toggle a room's lights, run a scene or script.
+
+Configure every button without leaving Home Assistant using the [CAST-1 WizMote blueprint](https://github.com/ApolloAutomation/Blueprints/tree/main/CAST-1):

Subject: [PATCH 21/21] Remove unused IR remote_receiver (IR removed from PCB)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Trevor removed the IR hardware from the CAST-1 PCB; the remote_receiver on
GPIO07 was unused (nothing consumed it) and left dump: all on. Removes it and
bumps version to 26.6.22.1.

Closes #16
