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

Thanks @epmatt for these Blueprints… they work amazing with both IKEA E1743 and E1744. I’m using Zigbee2mqtt.

I actually did a similar automation myself, earlier… when “repeat”-function was implemented to automations. That solved the dimming part. But you took it a step further by implementing this all with Blueprints, which really simplifies it to the end user.

I would like to share an idea that hopefully gets implemented in the future. That is… “Double press to change light-source entity”. I had this functionality myself before I switched over to use your Blueprints instead.

If you have many lights in a room that you want to control, then it eases to be able to control them individually with only one switch/controller instead of having a switch for each light-source.

I solved this by having a group with all light-entities I wanted to switch between and an input_number helper to know which entity was currently selected (from the group) and being controlled by the switch. Each time I switched to another light-entity, it responded with a short blink (on/off).

I miss this feature in your Awesome Blueprints… …and I’m afraid I’m too busy to implement this feature myself.

Thanks!

Hi. I am having problems having double press and single press being recognised. I have 1000ms set as double press delay. I seem to only be able to use single press or double press instead of both together. This was previously working perfectly but suddenly within the last week this issue has appeared.

Hello @epmatt
Thank you for the blueprints.
I am trying to create an automation for the IKEA E1810 Shortcut Button.
I want only one action when pressed and one when long-pressed.

I created a Helper by going to Configuration > Helpers > +Add Helper.
It is a Text Helper, named input_text.ikea_tv_room_shortcut_button_helper.

Then I create an automation using the blueprint with the following details:
(Required) Integration = ZHA
(deCONZ, ZHA) Controller Device = Zigbee
(Zigbee2MQTT) Controller Entity = left blank, I don’t use zigbee2mqtt
(Required) Helper - Last Controller Event = input_text.ikea_tv_room_shortcut_button_helper

Then I add an action for the short press, and another for the long press.

When I save the automation and try to run it, nothing happens. The log has the following errors:

Logger: homeassistant.helpers.template
Source: helpers/template.py:1718

Logger: homeassistant.helpers.template

First occurred: 15:31:26 (2 occurrences)

And in more detail:

15:55:11 – (ERROR) Automation - message first occurred at 15:31:26 and shows up 2 times

15:55:11 – (ERROR) helpers/template.py - message first occurred at 15:31:26 and shows up 2 times

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hey! Epic blueprint, and was incredibly easy to get up and running using my Symfonisk controller.

However, since I did a reboot of Home Assistant, the Controller automation is no longer triggering the hook. I can’t seem to figure out why, here is the A/B output from the trace:

Executed: January 1, 2022, 12:28:51 PM
Result:

result: false

## conditions/0

Executed: January 1, 2022, 12:28:51 PM
Result:

result: false entities: []

Any hints as to what might be going wrong here? FYI, I’m using Zigbee2MQTT.

Cheers - Jay.

hey!
Thanks for these blueprints!
After a fresh setup the light (light.ganglicht) which I controll via a E1524 remote only turns off via a press of the middle button, but when I try to turn it on, it will fail and “crash” with an error.

Any idea where the issue is located?
Thanks for the help!

This blueprint is working great, but the presist message that HA create (for example a warning that someone failed to login) isn’t transfer to the mobile, any idea?

Jay-uk · January 6, 2022, 10:33am

In case anyone has this same problem - I managed to fix this by setting “Legacy Integration = FALSE” in the Z2MQTT settings for this device.

No idea why it worked before with the legacy set to TRUE, but after a restart of HA, it no longer worked - now it is again!

Good luck all!

Hi @epmatt Matteo,
Great Blueprint, especially the part where you introduced the persistence of the state of entities in case of reboot or power failure.
I really like to use this for e.g. an automation which start at sunset (with an offset of e.g. 0.5 to 2 hours)
But i am not a programmer, could you please help me to change your Blueprint On-Off schedule with state persistence to act like this?
Kind regards, Bert

Hi @epmatt
This really is awesome.Thanks so much! Just bought a Sonoff Zigbee Plus dongle and started using Zigbee2MQTT… I started looking at some standard bluprints for my Ikea remote etc and they just failed to work. Yours has SO much functionality AND works!! wow!!

Just one thing… I notice that the Hue Smart Button blueprint doesn’t support Zigbee2MQTT but all the others do. Just wondered if that might change at some point. i.e. Be supported!?

Thanks again
Will

JKalliomaki · January 20, 2022, 11:53am

Hi Matt! Amazing blueprints you have made.

I’m having a question that I’m sure is somewhere in the documentations, but I couldn’t find an answer on it. I have Philips Hue dimmer switches, and I would like that double-pressing the dimming buttons changes brightnesses to static points, in my case double-pressing the “brighter”-button makes the light static 60% and the other button static 20%. I also want to use the controller-hooks infrastructure.

Intuitively it would have been such that I define a “call service” light.turn_on to the controller with the wanted parameters, and let the controller-hook communication decide which light needs to turn on but this is not working. Am I doing something wrong or what could be the problem?

I also enabled the “expose _ button double press event” things.

PaulM1 · January 23, 2022, 11:08am

Xiaomi WXCJKG13LM Aqara Opple 6 button remote with ZHA in the blueprint it is using “_long press" but in zha events you see this switch firing "_hold”

JeromeO · January 24, 2022, 6:39pm

I updated my automation to the latest versions of blueprints :

controller Version 2021.10.26
hook light Version 2021.12.05
Since then it does seem to support my group of lights anymore

I put group.lights_study in the (Required) Light Entity of my Hook Light
and I have this in my groups.yaml

lights_study:
  name: Study lights (group)
  entities:
    - light.study1
    - light.study2

It used to work with a former pair of blueprints
Has anything changed in the blueprints that would explain that loss in the behavior ?
Thank you !

JeromeO · January 25, 2022, 8:19am

Ok, seems like I need to rely on a group set in the configuration.yaml like so :

light :
  - platform: group
    name: Office lights
    entities:
      - light.study1
      - light.study2

and then use light.office_lights as the Entity in the Hook light blueprint.

Filip_Kotian · January 28, 2022, 9:17pm

Hi @dodoloto,

do you have solution for this? I am also getting error: Error: UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'event'

Than you for your help

elfstone · February 8, 2022, 8:15pm

I looked at the blueprints, but I’m still quite new to HA and blueprints, so I have a simple question: Is it possible to connect multiple devices to the same hook? Either by connecting multiple devices to the same controller blueprint, or by having two controllers connected to the same hook?

JeromeO · February 8, 2022, 10:54pm

In my Hook Light, I have light.dining_room_lights for the (Required) Light.
In configuration.yaml, the group is declared like this :

# https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.group/
light:
  - platform: group
    name: Dining room lights
    entities:
      - light.dining_1
      - light.dining_2
      - light.dining_3
      - light.dining_4
      - light.corner

I don’t know about grouping speakers.

elfstone · February 16, 2022, 11:56am

Sorrry, my question was unclear: I’m talking about multiple switches indeed - for light’s there’s always groups/areas to use.

tjxism · February 18, 2022, 6:36am

I am new to HA and starting to migrate my Homekit/proprietary_hub stuff to HA/Z2M. So exciting!

And these blueprints are so neat and tidy! They made the transition so smooth and friendly! Get more coffee, epmatt!

Calzor_Suzay · February 21, 2022, 8:17pm

Just fell into this blueprint after recently adopting Zigbee along with the IKEA STYRBAR 4 button controller and matching bulb.

Is there anyway to add the action to cycle through the ‘hue’ of the bulb by pushing left/right like you would do with a normally paired button?

PS
Love the blueprint and my first ever use of one

Calzor_Suzay · February 22, 2022, 3:05pm

Ok let me rephrase the problem, what am I doing wrong?

I’m using the EPMatt/ikea_e2001_e2002.yaml blueprint but I don’t get the option for left/right click on the button to change hue/colour etc.
