That worked, thanks!!
Hi, I have been using the integration and its perfect.
I am using the 4 button IKEA controller (it doesnāt have the middle on/off button).
I am trying to map a 2 click action and 3 click action to toggle the individual lights.
The issue is that i donāt know how to define which button should be listen to for the double click (as there is no middle button).
This is what i have:
lounge_lights_4button:
module: controllerx
class: E2002Z2MLightController
integration: z2m
controller: sensor.lounge_remote_4button_action
light: Lounge Lights
merge_mapping:
toggle$2:
service: light.toggle
data:
entity_id: light.lounge_lamp_1
toggle$3:
service: light.toggle
data:
entity_id: light.lounge_lamp_2
Double and Triple clicks do nothing. All other features work ok (on/off, temperature, brightness)
How can i define which button should be listened to?
Thank you!

With addon-appdaemon V 0.15.2 the addon has been moved into a different folder outside the HA config folder. Hence the ControllerX config file is not accessable anymore under /config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml.
Do you have any advise how to deal with it and can tell us the implication for the ControllerX Project? Not sure if her in the comminity or on github discussion forum is the right place to talk about it.
Good source for those having issues because they missed to consider the braking change of path to secrets.yaml in appdaemon.yaml.
Thanks in advance!
I reported a bug for this one;

How to add the new config folder within Studio code server:
basically just add via File / Open Folder or File / Add Folder to Workspace
the folder /addon_configs/
After that you can find your apps.yaml

Hey everyone!
Iām trying to integrate my Xiaomi Aqara E1 wireless remote switches (WXKG16LM and WXKG17LM) with ControllerX. So far itās going pretty well, but I cannot get the hold action to work. Iāve included a snippet from my apps.yaml below.
switch_light:
module: controllerx
class: WXKG17LMZ2MLightController
integration:
name: z2m
listen_to: mqtt
controller: "Switch friendly name"
light:
name: "Light friendly name"
mode: mqtt
mapping:
single_left: toggle
hold_left:
action: hold
attribute: brightness
direction: toggle
mode: stop
The single_left action is working just fine, turning the light on and off. However, the hold_left action only seems to increase the brightness of the light. Once it hits full brightness, pressing and holding the same button again does absolutely nothing (or so it seems, at least).
Below is a snippet of the code I added to controllerx/cx_devices/aqara.py to integrate my switches.
class WXKG17LMZ2MLightController(Z2MLightController):
def get_z2m_actions_mapping(self) -> DefaultActionsMapping:
return {
"single_both": Z2MLight.TOGGLE,
"single_left": Z2MLight.TOGGLE,
"double_left": Z2MLight.CLICK_BRIGHTNESS_UP,
"hold_left": Z2MLight.HOLD_BRIGHTNESS_TOGGLE,
"single_right": Z2MLight.TOGGLE,
"double_right": Z2MLight.CLICK_BRIGHTNESS_UP,
"hold_right": Z2MLight.HOLD_BRIGHTNESS_TOGGLE
}
Does anybody see what Iām doing wrong?
Hi,
I am struggling to get ControllerX to work. Iāve installed it recently like a week ago. I am able to edit the yaml files in the new location. I tried everything I could think off but no results and no idea where and what to look for in logs etc.
Any help is much appreciated!
What I see in Appdeamon under Events - MQTT is all traffic being sent. (so looks good I assume)
These are my yaml files:
secrets: /homeassistant/secrets.yaml

elevation: 2
time_zone: Europe/Amsterdam

Can you check your directory structure - if you navigate to the root directory, do you have the addon_configs folder like this:
and then an xxxx_appdaemon folder within that one? Then within that one you should have your appdaemon.yaml file that you posted above, as well as an apps folder? Inside the apps folder, you should have your apps.yaml file as well as a controllerx folder?
I think I miss the ControllerX folder. All others I can find.
I have found it here:
Can I just copy over all files to the new directory? What happens when an update is pushed?
Update Iāve copied the whole directory ControllerX into the apps folders and now it works! Thanks so much!
Still the questions how updates will be handled in the future?
OK, so when I updated to the latest version from an older version of AppDaemon, I āthinkā all of those folders must have moved, as I still have the same appdaemon folder as you in my config folder, but that appdaemon folder in that location is empty.
It might be worth taking a backup of your appdaemon and controllerx files and settings, and then uninstalling both, and reinstalling, to see if they install with the correct folder structure, rather than just manually moving them, so as to avoid potential issues with further updates.
I actually did that but the files were installed in the old location unfortunately.
Iāil give it another try though
I have E1810 on z2m, I only want to use the brightness up/down buttons to dim the light. The other buttons I have assigned for different switches:
tvroom_licht:
module: controllerx
class: E1810Controller
integration: z2m
controller: sensor.0x000d6ffffe343d9c_action
light: light.0x680ae2fffe3f7f03_light
actions:
- brightness_up_click
- brightness_down_click
But there is no brightness high/low action. Any suggestions?
Iāve also bought an Aqara E1 aka WXKG17LM which seems not officially supported (yet).
Did you make any progress?
For ZHA the eventsā¦
@Doublet I think youāre best off using the mapping or merge_mapping functions to do this and take only the functions that you want to assign.
Edit: after re-reading your post, it looks like you want the up/down to also control on/off for the light? In that case, I would replace the hold actions on_full_brightness and "off" and also use smooth_power_on: true so that the first up click turns on at minimum brightness.
Something like:
tvroom_licht:
module: controllerx
class: E1810Controller
integration: z2m
controller: sensor.0x000d6ffffe343d9c_action
light: light.0x680ae2fffe3f7f03_light
smooth_power_on: true
mapping:
2001: on_full_brightness
2002: click_brightness_up
3001: "off"
3002: click_brightness_down
Thanks, still no luck, will keep on trying
Have you tried removing your other configurations? Use only one config for a given controller at a time and then add them back in to see what works and what doesnāt.
Hello all,
I was trying to use ControllerX instead of manually programming each buttonā¦ but now I have spent WAY more time trying to get it to work than actually setting up an integration for each button press.
However I have sent so much time that I donāt want to uninstall, I am stubborn.
I have apps.yaml (inside a0d7b954_addons) as
---
hello_world:
module: hello
class: HelloWorld
coffeestation_controller:
module: controllerx
class: E1810Controller
controller: sensor.coffee_remote_action
integration: z2m
light: light.coffee_station

When going on the webUI of AppDaemon v4.4.2 I can see
My remote and my lights are working (zigbee2mqtt and showing as devices in mqtt integration, I can turn them on/off with toggle)
Now whatās the next step? Clicking the remote buttons donāt change anything on the lights. I tried adding this to the config but still nothing.
actions:
- "on"
- "off"
Any help really appreciated
