ControllerX. Bring full functionality to light and media player controllers

xaviml · October 9, 2020, 10:47am

The problem is that those actions are not recognized by ControllerX since it assumes the most updated mapping from that controller. If you want to make it work with ControllerX default mapping, you will need to set legacy: false in the Zigbee2MQTT configuration. Read more in here.

Another tip for you is to use MQTT integration for this controller since you will notice less delay. This is my current configuration for this controller:

livingroom_speakers:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1744MediaPlayerController
  controller: livingroom_mplayer_controller # This is the friendly name
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt
  media_player: media_player.livingroom
  volume_steps: 15
  delay: 150

You will also need to change your appdaemon.yaml if you want to use the MQTT integration. Read more about it here.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Hi @xaviml

I belieave I am almost at the finishing line, but one thng is still not clear to me. (Please note that english is not my first language and working with Homeassistant and coding is new to me)

What is confusing me is where to ad “legazy: false” inthe zigbee2mqtt configuration. This does not seem to be the right plase:

I have made the changes to the controller configuration

and changed the appdaemon.yaml.

The log nolonger shows the info about the signals triggered by the controller, but i asume it is due to the changes i made to regarding the MGTT?

Hi @Hoekeren,

Now you have the configuration for ControllerX and the MQTT correct. The only thing missing is to add legacy: false into the device specific configuration. To do so, you will need to go to a file in: /share/zigbee2mqtt/devices.yaml (assuming you installed it with the addon), there you will see something like:

# ...
'0x14b457fffe71b5a9':
  friendly_name: livingroom_mplayer_controller
# ...

You will need to add into your symfonisk (E1744) controller the following legacy: false like:

# ...
'0x14b457fffe71b5a9':
  friendly_name: livingroom_mplayer_controller
  legacy: false
# ...

Then you will need to restart Zigbee2MQTT addon. With all this, the controller it should work. If not, share the AppDaemon logs again and the Zigbee2MQTT logs when you rotate the controller.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Great I found it. had to use sambashare as the HA file editor did not give acces to the /share/
But sadly it still does not work for me ?

Kind regards Hoekeren

Hi @Hoekeren,

had to use sambashare as the HA file editor did not give acces to the /share/

You can change in the File Editor addon configuration the enforce_basepath to false, then you can go back from /config.

But sadly it still does not work for me ?

I just saw that your controller attribute from apps.yaml is not correct, it should be the friendly name of the controller from zigbee2mqtt, so: SYMFONISK sound controller - Badeværelset.

We are getting there. Hopefully, these are the last changes you needed to do.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

xaviml · October 9, 2020, 1:21pm

v4.0.0 is now released

This major change contains a breaking change.
Note: Remember to restart the AppDaemon addon/server after updating to a new version.

Features

Add multiple click functionality. This allows to double (triple, quadruple, etc) click any button from a controller that just supports (from hardware) single clicks. You can read more about it in here. [ #144 ]
Add merge_mapping attribute to override the default mapping. [ #135 ] @kroimon
Add new predefined actions for light controllers: toggle_full_brightness, toggle_full_white_value, toggle_full_color_temp, toggle_min_brightness, toggle_min_white_value, and toggle_min_color_temp [ #124 ] @kroimon
Allow any entity that turns on/off and toggle to be used in Switch controller (alert, automation, cover, input_boolean, light, media_player, script, switch).
Add action_group attribute to z2m integration when listen_to is mqtt [ #150 ]

Fixes

Fix default mapping for E1743 controller for z2m integration since click action is deprecated on Zigbee2MQTT in favor of action.
Fix default mapping for WXKG02LM controller for z2 integration since click action is deprecated on Zigbee2MQTT in favor of action. [ #147 ] @htvekov
Switch controller could not be used for input_boolean as documentation stated [ #146 ]

Refactor

Add integration tests

New devices

WXKG02LM - add light controller support for deCONZ, and DoubleKeyWirelessAqaraController has been changed to WXKG02LMLightController. [ #142 ] [BREAKING CHANGE]
WXKG01LM - add light controller support for deCONZ [ #143 ]

Succes !!!

I am at a loss for words to express my gratitude. Thank you for you effort and support.
I have not only solved the problem, but I have learned a lot in the process.
I it because of gues like you i have the confidence to dive into the fabulous world of HA.

All the best

Hoekeren

xaviml · October 9, 2020, 2:10pm

Thank you @Hoekeren, I am glad you got it working and that you learned during the process

Danzal · October 10, 2020, 11:50am

so the E1743 now has double tap??

xaviml · October 10, 2020, 12:11pm

Hi @Danzal

Indeed, any controller event can have now a double (triple, quatriple, etc) click If you need help with the configuration, I can help you out. You can read more about it here.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Danzal · October 10, 2020, 6:28pm


dan_bedside_switch:
    module: controllerx
    class: E1743Controller
    controller: sensor.dan_bed_dimmer_action
    integration: z2m
    light: light.dan_bedside_light

Thanks xavi!

So what’s needed to add double click full brightness
And also double click lowest brightness

Do I use click or action now?

Thank you for the help.

xaviml · October 10, 2020, 6:58pm

Hi @Danzal,

Indeed, I would recommend you using a new attribute merge_mapping, since it only overrides the specified mapping actions. So the configuration would look like:

dan_bedside_switch:
    module: controllerx
    class: E1743Controller
    controller: sensor.dan_bed_dimmer_action
    integration: z2m
    light: light.dan_bedside_light
    multiple_click_delay: 500 # this is the default
    merge_mapping:
        brightness_up$2: on_full_brightness
        brightness_down$2: on_min_brightness

This will turn on full brightness when double press the ON button and turn on minimum brightness when double press the OFF button.

If you see the double click is not working properly, you might want to play around with mutiple_click_delay (500ms default). This is the time that ControllerX waits for the next click to be pressed.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Danzal · October 10, 2020, 7:14pm

Thanks for the explanation about merge_mapping, the options available in controllex are mind boggling, right, I’m off to play!!!

Good work xavi

Danzal · October 10, 2020, 8:25pm


dan_bedside_switch:
    module: controllerx
    class: E1743Controller
    controller: sensor.dan_bed_dimmer_action
    integration: z2m
    light: light.dan_bedside_light
    multiple_click_delay: 500 # this is the default
    merge_mapping:
        on$2: on_full_brightness
        off$2: on_min_brightness

Got it to work like this? as brightness_up didn’t work,
The off double click works but turns light off first then on to min brightness

xaviml · October 10, 2020, 8:32pm

Hey @Danzal,

Sorry, you are right it should be “on” and “off”. So the “on” double click is working correctly, but “off” double click isn’t?

Could you add log_level: DEBUG to configuration like the following?

dan_bedside_switch:
    log_level: DEBUG
    module: controllerx
    class: E1743Controller
    controller: sensor.dan_bed_dimmer_action
    integration: z2m
    light: light.dan_bedside_light
    multiple_click_delay: 500 # this is the default
    merge_mapping:
        on$2: on_full_brightness
        off$2: on_min_brightness

Then press the “on” once, then twice, and do the same with “off”. Share AppDaemon logs afterwards in here to see what is happening.

Cheers,

Double tap off works, but light switches off instantly on first click, then second click turns it back on. button is bound/grouped to bulb.

Edit, just realised I didn’t do a single off… Going to play some more…

Hi @Danzal,

The light is turned off when clicked because is bound directly to the lightbulb with Zigbee2MQTT binding feature. This is out of scope from ControllerX, if you want to turn on/off the light and use ControllerX for multiple clicks, then you will need to disable the binding and allow ControllerX to do so.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Thanks xavi, thought that was the case.
The binding keeps the wife happy if Ha is down (happened a lot on my pi, not so much now on nuc)
The off quirk i can live with as it still works as you intended. Good work and thanks again for your help,
now to see what else I can do for my needs

have a few color bulbs in the house.
can I use my ikea E1743Controller button combinations for changing bulb colors using ZHA ?
Or do I need the ikea RGB controller here ?
