Trying to do a merge mapping but it won’t work
switch_controller_on:
module: controllerx
class: E1766CoverController
controller: tradfri_open_close_remote_action
integration: deconz
switch: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12
merge_mapping:
1002:
- service: switch.turn_on
any ides?
Debug says ; switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12 is not recognized as a template
Hi @Fifthy ,
You are using E1766CoverController, if you want to use a switch, you should use E1766SwitchController.
Hope that solves the issue.
Regards,
Xavi M.
same issue 
Could you please share the AppDaemon logs (including initialization)?
Thanks,
Is this enough? Which switch should be turned on here?
The one stated above
switch: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12
Hi @Fifthy ,
@carsten_h made me see something I missed at first from the configuration. You are using a Service call, so the entity should be passed together with a data attribute. So, it could be solved with:
switch_controller_on:
module: controllerx
class: E1766SwitchController
controller: tradfri_open_close_remote_action
integration: deconz
switch: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12
merge_mapping:
1002:
- service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12
However, you can omit the data and pass the entity directly:
switch_controller_on:
module: controllerx
class: E1766SwitchController
controller: tradfri_open_close_remote_action
integration: deconz
switch: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12
merge_mapping:
1002:
- service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12
In addition, this could be improved by using a predifined action that does already this, the on action.
switch_controller_on:
module: controllerx
class: E1766SwitchController
controller: tradfri_open_close_remote_action
integration: deconz
switch: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12
merge_mapping:
1002: "on"
Finally, this action is already part of E1766SwitchController, so the merge_mapping is not needed.
switch_controller_on:
module: controllerx
class: E1766SwitchController
controller: tradfri_open_close_remote_action
integration: deconz
switch: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_12
Note that the 4 configurations I share should all do the same, but the most efficient one would be the last one since no customization is needed to the default mapping.
Thanks @carsten_h for spotting this out.

Xavi M.
Thanks guys!
You are welcome. Sometimes you can look 1000 times at something and you don‘t see the problem. Another one sees it at the first time. The next time it will be the other way round. 
Hi all.
New to HASS here, but I’ve been following the guides on this and tried installing everything to try to control my lights with the Hue Dimmer controls I’ve had for a while.
They have paired fine and I can see their battery sensors showing up nicely on Home assistant, so they’re there.
When I try to use this with appdaemon, however, nothing happens.
Upon checking the logs for appdaemon, here’s what I’m presented with. Any ideas on what may be the issue?
Thanks!

Edit 2:
Here’s the only content on my apps.yaml file:
switch_philipshue_swd1:
module: controllerx
class: HueDimmerController
controller: switch_philipshue_swd1
integration: deconz
light: light.downlight_wh_01
Is that in the correct format you are using? Because this is wrong!
It should look like this:
wohnzimmer_controller_licht:
module: controllerx
class: E1810Controller
controller: fernbedienung_dachboden
integration: deconz
light: light.led_streifen
I took it from this page here: Hue Dimmer switch (Philips) | ControllerX
Should I be using a different class for this Philips Hue Dimmer?
EDIT:
I think I found out what you meant. I had to add tabulations to the beginning!
It’s now working!!!
Thank you! 
It doesn’t seem so. The indentation is missing!
Great!
You are welcome!
Hello!
I have a question regarding controlling (Ikea 1810) the colour of a light (it’s a light group).
I have this configuration:
julian_controller_licht:
module: controllerx
class: E1810Controller
controller: fernbedienung_julian
integration: deconz
light: light.julian_deckenlicht
multiple_click_delay: 1000
merge_mapping:
1002$2:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.julian_weiss
4001:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.julian_weiss
5001:
service: switch.toggle
entity_id: switch.leiste_4
I can switch the lights on and of with the middle button. A double-click is setting them to white. I can chang the brightness with the button on top and bottom.
I can long press the left and right button to execute the switches.
But what it is not working is setting the colour of the lights. This is what I see in the appdaemon log:
2021-06-03 10:16:02.123164 INFO julian_controller_licht: 🎮 Button event triggered: `1002$2`

I don’t know what is meant with these two warnings. It seems something in the configuration has to be changed.
@xaviml Will ControllerX support the new IKEA Styrbar Remote Control (E2001/E2002) be supported soon? (Or is it perhaps supported already?)
Hi @carsten_h,
Sorry you are experiencing this. Those messages appear when mode is single (which is the default), and the action is already running. So what is happening is that ControllerX detected a running action for 5002 and 4002. Knowing they are click action, it is weird you are seeing those messages. My recommendation is that you restart the AppDaemon server and click right and left arrows to see if those messages appear. If they are still appearing, does this happen with just one light from the light group? Finally, could you double check you are on ControllerX v4.11.2?
Regards,
Xavi M.
Hi @erik7,
ControllerX already supports that controller (see list of supported controllers here). In fact, I have one myself and I made sure it is working properly for zigbee2mqtt. If you are using another integration (deconz or zha), you will need to let me know what actionsare fired from the controller when buttons are pressed and held. This is my configuration for the office light with this controller:
office_light:
module: controllerx
class: W2049LightController
controller: "0x680ae2fffe7803cd"
integration:
name: z2m
listen_to: mqtt
light: light.office
Regards,
Xavi M.
That is the easiest part:
2021-06-04 08:36:03.845770 INFO julian_controller_licht: 🎮 ControllerX v4.11.2
The other things I am doing now.
The messages are still coming for the group. I will change to one light.
Oh, that is strange. I still got the messages, only one time I got this:

ValueError: This light does not support xy_color or color_temp

It is a tasmota light which is not longer handled via MQTT direct, but through the tasmota integration, because otherwise the colour-wheel of Home Assistant is not working correctly since 2021.5 because of a change in Home Asssitant.
So this has exactly the same functions as the E1810? No change, only another look?
If I find the time and Ikea is open I will look for one at the end of the month.
Hi @carsten_h,
Probably afer that error if you keep pressing the arrow left and right, you get the messages you first reported. That is my bad, I should control this much better on ControllerX and let it throw the error everytime, but this is not the problem you are having anyway.
Regarding your problem, the light does not support xy_color or color_temp. This measn that the supported_features attribute from the light does not indicate properly what the light can support. Could you show me the supported_features for the group light and the inidividual ones? You can take an screenshoot of the attributes for each entity in “Developer Tools > States”. Also, can you change color through Home Assistant UI and from call services?
Regards,
Xavi M.
