title: CAST-1 WizMote Control
description: Control your CAST-1 with a WizMote using the Apollo CAST-1 WizMote blueprint in Home Assistant.

# 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)
{ .annotate }

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**.

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!

**Multi-Room Audio:** Group several CAST-1s to play the same music in sync across every room. Streaming runs locally through Music Assistant and Sendspin, so there's no cloud account and no subscription.

**WizMote Control:** Pair a Wiz WizMote for physical control over playback without opening an app. Each of the nine buttons is configurable in Home Assistant using the CAST-1 WizMote blueprint, so a button can play, pause, skip, change the volume, or run any Home Assistant action you want.

**Line-Level Output:** The CAST-1 outputs line level over 3.5mm and has no amplifier of its own, so it feeds powered speakers, a receiver, or an active soundbar.
