💡 Awesome HA Blueprints: A curated list of blueprints + easily create controller-based automations (remotes, switches,...) for controlling lights, media players, and more

Yeah ok, so this is dead?

Its so weird, the guy puts so much effort into it, the blueprints, the doco. Then just abandons it a few months later. Strange!

Hope hes ok

Hi. I’m using the Ikea dimmer switch (E1743), and I absolutely cannot get it to dim the lights. If I add the controller blueprint, without any actyions, and then add the hook, i can turn the lights on/off, but dimming doesnt work. ?

Hi, I have the exact same problem with Hue dimmer switches. Yesterday I switched my Zigbee Adapter and had to re-pair everything. Thankfully the friendly_names were recovered, so it was not that big of a problem. But now my hue switches are not working anymore (the ikea and opple one have no problem).

I had this settings set already before the migration. So this should be set for all devices. Maybe someone else has a idea?

device_options:
  transition: 1
  legacy: false

EDIT: just some more information, they are connected to the network and i can see the click action in HA. The automation trace is the same as from @Jay-uk.

spn · April 28, 2022, 7:16pm

I think I have found the solution.

device_options:
  legacy: false

With this setting, all my actions had underscores instead of dashes. The blueprint awaits actions with dashes.
I have now added legacy: true to the dimmer switch and the dashes are back

Where are you exactly changing these lines? I would try your idea

GrumpyOldSwede · August 26, 2022, 6:46pm

Long press doesn’t work on up and down any more, seems a bigger change is needed (as implemented in ZHA - IKEA four button remote (Styrbar) for lights (E2001, E2002) )

hey I‘m currently trying to setup my ikea tradfri using zigbee2mqtt. but i always fail at creating the lighting hook.

this is the error that I get:

and the controller config looks like this:

help would be really appreciated

Keroth · October 15, 2022, 8:22am

Me again after a night of not much sleep I think I fixt the issue by deleting all blueprints and reinstalling all of them.

I can’t get long press to work either with IKEA E1743 TRÅDFRI On/Off Switch & Dimmer and ZHA unfortunately. Short press works just fine.

I can see that things are written to the helper during long press but it’s not performing the actions.

matthiashh · November 13, 2022, 11:45am

For ZHA I had to fix the blueprint to make it work. This is how the ZHA part of my YAML for the IKEA 1743 On/Off switch looks like:

    zha:
      button_up_short:
        - "on"
      button_up_long:
        - "move_with_on_off_MoveMode.Up_83"
      button_up_release:
        - "stop_with_on_off"
      button_down_short:
        - "off"
      button_down_long:
        - move_MoveMode.Down_83_bitmap8.0_bitmap8.0
      button_down_release:
        - stop_with_on_off

I still don’t get the double taps, but long presses work. It’s similar for the E1812 shortcut remote. It’s a bit unfortunate that @epmatt does not seem to maintain the repo anymore. It looks so promising.

matthiashh · November 13, 2022, 11:50am

And for completeness the updated blueprint to get long presses with the IKEA shortcut E1812 button:

  actions_mapping:
[...]
    zha:
      button_short:
        - "on"
      button_long:
        - move_with_on_off_MoveMode.Up_83
      button_release:
        - stop_with_on_off

As with the other one, I don’t get double-taps, but the long presses work at least.

Radulf · November 14, 2022, 5:23pm

Hello! I managed to get the ikea e1812 to work pretty well with zigbee2mqtt. Got the short/double and long press working great. I did my very first Pull Request
[Update ikea_e1812.yaml by ralphrtm · Pull Request #448 · EPMatt/awesome-ha-blueprints · GitHub] (don’t know if it will be merge soon).
Can someone try the fix and see if it’s working on your system? Thanks

TheCosmicGate · November 19, 2022, 6:48pm

did you solve this ? At the moment i’am having the same problem ( E1524 remote Z2MQTT)

Calzor_Suzay · November 20, 2022, 10:14am

I never managed to resolve the problem.

TheCosmicGate · November 20, 2022, 10:15am

Hmm ok that’s strange , this because they speak about this within the blueprint git themselves

TheCosmicGate · November 21, 2022, 8:06pm

Is there anybody who can lead me the way to solve this ? Or do I maybe need oneother blueprint?

liminal · November 26, 2022, 2:28am

Does anyone know why this would not work?

Curtains will close when holding down long press, but will not stop on release

Using Switchbot Curtains

TheCosmicGate · November 28, 2022, 7:37pm

Is there nobody who can help me with this ?Or do i need some other blueprint ?

konradwalsh · December 12, 2022, 11:03am

~~Anyone else have issues with the hook blueprints since the 2022.12 update?~~

the issue was actually to do with the Zigbee2Mqtt recommended setting… I set it to false and didnt realise it could affect this

JohnPlou · December 23, 2022, 10:26am

Is it possible to control 2 light groups?

One light group to turn on & off with up & down single press buttons and the other light group to turn on & off with the up & down double press buttons?

Brightness and color temperature to change only for the 1st light group, not the second.

Thanks in advance for any help.
