Maybe Iām too stupid, but Iāve read the description up and down for a few times now and I guess, Iām missing somethingā¦ I created 2 automations, 1 controller and 1 hook - I cannot relly āconnectā them, as they should be connected just by using the same device/entity (of the hardware-controller).
The controller automation gets triggered and fired, fills the input helper, but the hook automation never gets fired, so my lights stay outā¦
Nvm on above, issue rwaolved: I guess I simply had to post here and it got scaredā¦ legacy setting on the remote in z2m is true, I also dziÅ few ha restarts in between, so maybe thatās it.
Hey there, I recently got a Hue Dimmer switch v2 and wanted to use your automation. I also used the light-hook, to control the minimum brightness, which works really good. However, it seems like I canāt change the default settings with the blueprint. If I say, for example, that the on switch should turn the light on but also off (if itās already on) it just doesnāt change and still executes only the default settings. What am I doing wrong?
I have created and properly configured automatons based on these blueprints:
Controller: Styrbar;
Hook: Light &
Hook: Mediaplayer.
Now I want to do the following:
assign
button press left_long to media player: volume up
button left_double to media player: previous track &
up_long to light: brightness up
and so on.
I am also thinking about using custom actions for the short presses. I know I can put the custom actions into the responding button presses in the controller, but I can not figure out how to call a specific action within a specific hook.
I read the documentation several times but somehow I missed what I was searching for.
Your Awesome blue prints areā¦ awesome. Could you add sunrise/sunset with offset (random offset option would be even better) to the start/stop times? Thanks for considering.
I need some help recreating my light automations using the Controller and Light Hook blueprints ^^"
I had to reinstall Home Assistant from scratch with a new coordinator (long story, but I had backups). Now, Iām struggling to set up my Hue Dimmer Switch automations.
However, I canāt get these automations to work. Iāve tried debugging with traces but havenāt made much progress. It seems like the button press packets from the Dimmer Switch are named differently since I reinstalled Home Assistant and paired everything with the new coordinator.
well i fixed it, i used the Wrong Controller, and i switched to ļølsismeiro Updates Versionās for the Controller and the Hook. Itās working now.
Thanks @KrzysztofHajdamowicz for the Notice on that:
IKEA Controller stopped working after update to Zigbee2MQTT 2.0.0
refer to
this concerns e.g.:
Controller - IKEA E2001/E2002 STYRBAR Remote control
Controller - IKEA E1743 TRĆ DFRI On/Off Switch & Dimmer
Solution
but as far as I understand just temporary:
All action sensors are now disabled by default (sensor.*_action entities). Itās recommended to use the MQTT device trigger instead. In case you really need the action sensors, add the following to your [Zigbee2MQTT] configuration.yaml.
Itās because after update to 2.0 of z2m the actions sensors are not created by default they were replaced by event.xxxxx entities.
in the configuration you canenable the legacy configuration or just stop using this blueprint.
The controller_entity input has been deprecated, and controller_device is now mandatory.
If you are a Zigbee2MQTT user and plan to update this blueprint, please make sure to remove the controller_entity input from your automation config and add the device ID of your controller to the controller_device input.
To obtain the device ID from your controller, configure the automation from the UI and use the device selector dropdown on the controller_device input to select your controller.
