LightScenes are defined at the more abstract virtual layer of the Home Automation engine. This layer itself communicates with Z-Wave. For Z-Wave, a multisensor device, is a device with movement, temperature, humidity sensors. At the abstract level all these sensors are considered devices as if the others did not exist.
The abstraction approach allows the users to create their own virtual devices of a certain type for example using dome JavaScript code. But also in the future there may come a module for EnOcean devices. The virtual devices automation layer will allow all such different physical devices being mixed in one abstract "device", in your case the LightScene.
I hope this helps

All the subsequent pulldowns do not have an entry for the Minimote.
Any chance of getting some detailed help?

I found an xml containing a device discription for the minimote. Some instructions point to an import option but I can't find it... Does this xml go in a directory or should the data be inserted into another file?

Import function was in the old UI. now you need to do it in Expert Commands yoursef. Please see description of the device or search about minimote on our site. Once configured, Z-Way will create widgets for the device
