Blueprint: Styrbar Remote Control for Lights (Zigbee2MQTT Compatible)
Hi everyone!
I’m excited to share a new blueprint I created for the IKEA E2001/E2002 Styrbar remote control, designed to work seamlessly with Zigbee2MQTT. This blueprint allows you to control your lights with the Styrbar remote, offering basic functionality like turning lights on/off, dimming brightness continuously, and changing color temperature.
Features:
Turn Lights On/Off: Use the center button to toggle lights on or off.
Adjust Brightness: Hold the top or bottom button to dim the lights up or down with smooth, continuous adjustments.
Change Color Temperature: Use the left/right buttons to set the lights to either warm white (2000K) or cool white (6500K).
Transition Time Option: Adjust the transition time for brightness changes.
Works with Zigbee2MQTT 2.0.0+: Fully compatible with the latest version of Zigbee2MQTT, no need to enable the legacy action sensor.
Single Light or Group of Lights: Works with any light entity you select, whether it’s a single bulb or a group of lights.
Requirements:
IKEA E2001/E2002 Styrbar remote control integrated with Zigbee2MQTT.
A single light or group of lights configured in Zigbee2MQTT.
Home Assistant with MQTT integration enabled.
Future Improvements:
I plan to enhance this blueprint by adding more flexible control over the color temperature, allowing you to adjust it incrementally rather than switching between two predefined values. Stay tuned for updates!
How to Use:
Import the blueprint using the link below.
Configure the required inputs:
Select the light entity (single light or a group).
Choose the Styrbar remote control device.
Adjust optional settings like brightness step size and delay if needed.
Save and activate the automation.
Enjoy controlling your lights with the Styrbar remote!
Feel free to share any feedback or suggestions—I’d love to hear how this works for you and any features you’d like to see added.
You can now adjust the transition time for brightness changes! This new option lets you set the duration in seconds for smooth and seamless light transitions when adjusting brightness. It helps make the adjustments feel more natural. Stay tuned for future updates, where I’ll be adding the ability to adjust the color temperature soon.
Would be perfect for me if you are also able to select the colour scenes (red, purple, blue, orange, yellow, purple, green) that are offered by default on the IKEA Tradfri colour bulbs when you press the left/right arrows including the cool and warm white options.
@Mayhem_SWE TBH sometimes It happens also to me, when trying to hold left or right It tries to dim up. When I was checking the state of the styrbar it seems like I’m pressing top button. Looks like to me a hardware/firmaware problem.
Good job ! Color temp adjustment would be a great idea indeed.
I’m having an issue with the on button though
Error: expected int for dictionary value @ data[‘brightness’]
Hi guys!
Unfortunately this integration doesn’t work correctly. Delays and now it doesn’t work at all.
If i downloaded it some time ago, should i download a new vwersion or it upgrades automatically? Htank you for reply
Yep. Thank you for reply. Works but not all the time correctly. Dimming doesn’t work at all (only on and off)/ Color temp has also 2 positions (white and yellow).
I just wanted to exclude IKEA HUB Tradfri, but it worked perfectly.
I am trying to undersdtand what’s wrong(
Not sure what could be wrong. Dimming works for me correctly. About the changing the colors, read my post. As I said there I will add this feature in some time. For now it changes only cold and warm light.
. Yes, the only feature to have it working similar to the Dirigera is the long press on the temperature buttons.
