Yes, that is something I thought. It could be used for other AppDaemon apps for example. In fact AppDaemon already has a UI, maybe it could be integrated in there as well. However, it would not be ControllerX specific.
No issues here, works perfectly.

Hi everyone,
Thank you to everyone trying out the beta version, the stable version has been released.
This minor change does not contain any breaking changes.
Note: Remember to restart the AppDaemon addon/server after updating to a new version.
Features
- Allow to pass parameters to predefined actions. You can check the parameters for each predefined action, and how to pass parameters in here. [ #78 ]
- Support for Light Group integration. To know how entity groups work, read here [ #330 ]
- Add option to read
unique_idattribute for deCONZ integration. Read more about it here [ #333 ]
Performance
- Reduce calls to HA when entity is a group.
Xavi, my RGB wall control panels are still working beautifully!
I just picked up a Ikea tradfri E1810Controller and I would like to control two different light entities. I was thinking of using the arrows keys and using a template (yay template support) to toggle between which is being controller. Could be more than just two as well. Do you see any limitations before I go down this route?
I will probably make the arrow keys iterate a dummy entity which the app’s template will use to know which light entity to control. Maybe there is an easier way?
edit: I gave it a shot and was able to toggle control between two lights. Here is what I used:
ikea_remote_1:
module: controllerx
class: E1810Controller
controller: ikea_remote
integration:
name: z2m
listen_to: mqtt
light: "{{ states('sensor.ikea_remote_selection') }}"
merge_mapping:
"arrow_right_click":
- service: input_boolean.toggle
entity_id: input_boolean.test_switch_5
"arrow_left_click":
- service: input_boolean.toggle
entity_id: input_boolean.test_switch_5
template:
- sensor:
- name: "ikea remote selection"
state: >
{% if is_state('input_boolean.test_switch_5', 'on') %}
light.tv_lights
{% else %}
light.bedroom_light
{% endif %}
This is just a proof of concept and can be iterated rather than toggled. I might add an automation to do something in the room to make it clear which entity it is now controlled. Beautiful how simple that was.
Hi @germplan,
Sorry for the delay. I see you answer yourself to your question, however, it is limited to just 2 lights. If you want the support for more lights (or 2 as well) you could use an input_select. First, create an input_select through YAML or UI:
input_select:
light_selection:
options:
- light.tv_lights
- light.bedroom_light
- light.another_light
It is important that the options are the entity id of the lights you want to control with the remote. Then the configuration would look like:
ikea_remote_1:
module: controllerx
class: E1810Controller
controller: ikea_remote
integration:
name: z2m
listen_to: mqtt
light: "{{ states('input_select.light_selection') }}"
merge_mapping:
arrow_right_click:
- service: input_select.select_next
entity_id: input_select.light_selection
arrow_left_click:
- service: input_select.select_previous
entity_id: input_select.light_selection
This would work the same as your solution with 2 lights, but it is scalable to add more lights to it. In addition, the left arrow would go back and the right arrow would go next, and by default, I believe that it loops through the selection.
Regards,
Xavi M.

Hi @xaviml
I have been using ControllerX to control my Fyrtur covers with a E1766CoverController, and has been working just fine.But about a month ago they stopped working with me touching anything in my apps.yaml.
I have noticed alot of Warnings when AppDaemon starts, not sure if that could be a reason.

Hello!
I have one question regarding the Aqara cube. Is it possible to have actions for specific sides of the cube? As I see in the docs, I can only get an event into which direction it is rotated.
I saw this page: https://smart-home-assistant.de/radio-xiaomi-cube-steuern/ where someone used the different sides for different radio stations. And it seems he gets messages which side is up.
@wessller those warnings in your log startup are normal.
You should verify that you are still getting events in z2m as this is probably the cause.
My E1766 are flakey with zha and decide to just drop out randomly when they feel like it…

Hi
I am a new to controller x and it seems it does everything I want it to but I just cannot get it to work, so I am hoping you good guys can help me out!
To give a bit of background I am fairly newish to HA and have had it up and running for a few months now using a RP4.
What I am trying to do:
I have bought a load of lights from Lidl, bought the gateway and then assumed that buying anything zigbee would just work… Well I have learned that’s not the case and that HA might come to my rescue. (Wow what a learning curve but what a community I might add to help!)
What I was hoping to do is to blank off all my home switches and replace them with remotes instead. That way I can automate, I can use google assistant, I can use an app on the phone but for those times that people are in my house and not capable of using anything else, have a remote up to act as a light switch. However trying to find compatible zigbee switches to work with these bulbs is like trying to find rocking horse dung. There is little out there that doesn’t work with its own gateway and its a nightmare.
Then I came across the fact that IKEA was doing zigbee and bought a few bulbs and a remote. I had thought it would be a simple case of getting the IKEA gateway and adding devices in there and using the integration to use a remote with my Tuya Smartlife bulbs. (I am writing this knowing there are going to be a few of you laughing now… hindsight is such a good thing!)
So to confirm. I want my IKEA remotes to work with my Tuya bulbs around the house.
What I have done so far:
Installed HACS
Setup Zigbee2mqtt (using Mosquito as a broker)
Setup AppDaemon 4
Added controllerx via hacs (see below for issue with standard instructions)
So a bit of research later just got my cc2531 flashed for use with MQTT. I have just setup and paired my Tradfri E1810 using Zigbee2mqtt and I can confirm that it is receiving the states when I do a debug:
I then followed the instructions on setting up controllerx. I installed AppDaemon 4, then opened up the hacs integration and enabled the tickbox for “Enable AppDaemon apps discovery & tracking”
I then proceeded to add controllerx from hacs using the following instructions:
Now I dont know if this is my first issue, however when I look under automations controllerx is not there.
It is however under frontend:
So undeterred I added this. I then created the configuration in /config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml and restarted AppDaemon. However the remote would not work. I then restarted HA and this made no difference. I have played around a couple of times in case there was something I may have missed or if it could only be used to alter IKEA bulbs but neither seems to work.
My Configuration
I have played around with this many times now, but my last config was with using the IKEA bulb. This is a copy of my current config:
hello_world:
module: hello
class: HelloWorld
office_controller:
module: controllerx
class: E1810Controller
controller: sensor.remote_switch_for_office_action
integration: z2m
light: light.lukes_room_bulb
Here are the devices as setup in HA:

HELP!
I really don’t understand what I am doing wrong here. Taking the Tuya integration out of the equation for the minute (BTW I am using the new v2 Tuya in beta but I know from creating my own rough and ready automation I can at least use the remote to turn a light on) I would expect that I would be able to turn the IKEA light on itself.
So I guess the main question I have is should this work with any light that has been integrated into HA or do I have to add the bulbs into zigbee2mqtt for this to work? (I am assuming the former) If not then I would appreciate some help to get me over this. I really hope that I am doing something silly and that its a small detail that I have missed, but if not then I am very willing to work with whomever to get this working. I have a number of bulbs that I need to setup using this method and that I have bought IKEA remotes for!!!
Oh and before I forget the following are my system details:
Im really stuck and have probably spent about 5-6 hours trying to get this to work now, and so in advance I appreciate any and all help given.
Cheers

Hi @carsten_h,
I believe it is technically possible (as shown in the video), but ControllerX does not support that. Which integration are you using? I have the cube and I could investigate if it is possible.

I am using deCONZ.

Hi @deadphill,
According to the logs you sent from AppDaemon, the ControllerX is not installed properly since it has not been imported. I believe the problem is from HACS since ControllerX should be under Automations, not Frontend… However, I checked in my local instance and I see ControllerX in the Automation tab.
Can you check if there is a folder called controllerx in /config/appdaemon/apps/controllerx ?
Regards,
Xavi M.
Hi @xaviml and thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
I knew it was something to do with that as you explicitly said it should be in automations and it was showing under frontend… Still dont know what thats about!
There is no folder in that directory called controllerx. What should I do to rectify this?
Cheers
Phill
I would recommend you either of this:
- Reinstall HACS
- Install ControllerX manually as described in the Installation page: Installation | ControllerX. You might need to do this with either Samba integration or the terminal one.
Ill give that a go and let you know.
Thanks for your help so far! Its much appreciated!
Cheers

I can verify that my E1766 does indeed send commands via mqtt. I use MQTT Explorer to monitor activity, and can clearly see the “action” command being send.
However i have since found out that not all entites are “shown” for my covers. Not sure how to fix that. As you can see below the “cover” entity is now present, and i can not control my blinds any more. When i add the covers to a lovelace widget i am unable to control them. But when i chen in zigbee2mqtt controlpanle i can control them just fine there.

Hi @wessller,
Could you please send the z2m and appdaemon logs when the button is pressed? Which is the configuration is giving you problems? gardinh this one?
Regards,
I found out i needed to update my Zigbee2mqtt. I missed the fact that a new Repo had been announced:
Will try this first.

You beauty @xaviml thats worked a treat! Its exactly what I was after… now to configure all the other switches!!
One thing and I dont know if this is my issue but I hear my controller isnt that great. Sometimes it misses the input from the remote and I have to click it a few times. Is this normal if its pressed too many times?
Either way its great, thank you for the help. I knew it had to be something simple!
Cheers
Phill
Hi Phil,
Glad that it worked!
I have the same controllers as you and I do not have any problems with them. Do you see the inputs also missing in the zigbee2mqtt logs?
