OH MY GOD, it’s the eyes that goes first when you go blind WOW, I didn’t even notice, and I was staring at it like crazy!
Thankyou for helping out a poor blind man!

No worries! 4 eyes are better than 2

First of all, thank you! This is a fantastic way to get the dimming functionality working with IKEA lights and switches.

When i try to get it working using the entity ID it doesnt work at all. When i press the button i get a message in Zigbee2MQTT that says the entity “light.upstairs_lounge_lights” is unknown.
This entity exists and it is available in HA entities.

So this wont work:

upstairs_lounge_lights_5button:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1810Z2MLightController
  integration: z2m
  controller: sensor.upstairs_lounge_5button_remote_action
  light: light.upstairs_lounge_lights

Out of desperation i used the entity name and it worked fine.

This works:

upstairs_lounge_lights_5button:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1810Z2MLightController
  integration: z2m
  controller: sensor.upstairs_lounge_5button_remote_action
  light: Upstairs Lounge Lights

Its the same for all my lights.
Is this expected behavior?

xaviml · July 24, 2022, 1:08am

Hi @KMike ,

Yes, this is expected, you are using E1810Z2MLightController which is a Zigbee2MQTT Light Controller. This means that the controller is expected to be the Zigbee2MQTT friendly name.

However, if you use E1810Controller as a class which is a regular Light Controller, then the controller is expected to be a HA entity (e.g. light.kitchen).

I will preface this with the fact that I am not the best with MQTT devices.

I got a TRUST ZYCT202Z. I managed to pairt it to zigbee2mqtt. This is my configuration in appdeamon/apps/apps.yaml

livingroom_controller:
  module: controllerx
  class: ZYCT202Z2MLightController
  controller: sensor.0x00158d00038e6108_action
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt
  light: light.livingroom

I got the controller id from entities page.

What I get is the OFF button being almost the only one that does anything. What it does is that it turns off all my lights, then when pressed again it turns on one light. If I keep pressing the button it turns them on all one by one, and then off again.

Any advice how to debug/configure it?

xaviml · August 3, 2022, 9:42am

Hi @BoKKeR ,

Not sure what is turning on/off the lights, but this configuration is not working as it is. These are the problems:

controller expects the Z2M device friendly name since you are listening to mqtt.
light expects the Z2M device friendly name since you are using a Z2M Light Controller.

In addition, you should have the MQTT broker configuration in the appdaemon.yaml file if you do not have it.

What you can also do is to use the regular Light Controller for this device and not use mqtt:

livingroom_controller:
  module: controllerx
  class: ZYCT202LightController
  controller: sensor.0x00158d00038e6108_action
  integration: z2m
  light: light.livingroom

Finally, I recommend you stopping appdaemon and checkong if lights are turning on/off with the controller. If they do, this means that ControllerX is not turning them on/off, and another automation or external factor is turning them on/off.

Regards,
Xavi M.

BoKKeR · August 3, 2022, 1:43pm

Okay I tracked down a script I had running from before that was triggering the lights.
I also noticed that I had never installed appdaemon, so I got the docker container running,
I see all the entities in there and a hello world application but no controllerx, even after reinstalling controllerx and restarting HA a few times.

where should I look for logs? I am assuming controllerx should show up in appdeamon UI as an APP or a plugin.

I am also using the config from above which should just work if I understand correctly without adding MQTT to it.

xaviml · August 3, 2022, 10:20pm

Hi @BoKKeR ,

Please follow the installation steps in this documentation in order. First you need AppDaemon, then ControllerX.

https://xaviml.github.io/controllerx/start/installation/

Once done, you can restart AppDaemon addon and you will see ControllerX in the logs if you have any configurations in the apps.yaml file.

Regards,
Xavi M.

livingroom_controller:
  module: controllerx
  class: ZYCT202LightController
  controller: sensor.0x00158d00038e6108_action
  integration: z2m
  light: light.livingroom

I managed to make it show up, the problem was that my config was in the wrong file for appdaemon, had to move it to the docker container/conf/apps/apps.yaml

I get the following in z2m when I press a button:

{
    "linkquality": 138,
    "action": "",
    "action_group": null
}

No action

I can see controllerX with the config above, but I cant get the lights to turn on/off, any advice?

EDIT: Action is shown in the z2m logs but still no light change. Do I have to tie anything together with a action_group?

I have added another controller for a test

livingroom_ikea_controller:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1743Z2MLightController
  controller: sensor.ikea_button_01_action
  integration: z2m
  light: light.livingroom

Still no result

xaviml · August 4, 2022, 8:27pm

Hi @BoKKeR ,

Could you please share the AppDaemon logs when initializing and when you press a button in the controller? Please, put log_level: DEBUG in the configuration for further details:

livingroom_controller:
  log_level: DEBUG
  module: controllerx
  class: ZYCT202LightController
  controller: sensor.0x00158d00038e6108_action
  integration: z2m
  light: light.livingroom

Do I have to tie anything together with a action_group?

No, there is no need unless you want to customize further, but it should work by default without wxtra configuration.

Could you also check in which path is controllerx installed? If you installed through HACS in places the apps in /config/appdaemon/apps, but I see your AppDaemon path is different. In this case, you will need to either move it or use the manual isntallation specified in this documentation: Installation - ControllerX

Regards,
Xavi M.

BoKKeR · August 5, 2022, 6:15am

Thanks! everything is working fine now. The problem was that I had controllerX installed on HA, and appDaemon as a container. I just used the manual install to install controllerX in the docker appDaemon and everything started working after a restart. Thanks for your patience! Its a little confusing for first time users how it all ties together

carsten_h · August 5, 2022, 7:02am

I installed Appdaemon as a normal Home Assistant Addon and ControllerX via HACS and everything worked fine from the beginning.

BoKKeR · August 5, 2022, 7:52am

yes but my setup is different, I dont have home assistant addons since I am not running HASSIO

xaviml · August 5, 2022, 11:55am

I agree, the manual installation is a bit more cumbersome than the HACS one. As @carsten_h said, it is as easy as installing AppDaemon addon and then ControllerX from HACS, no need to open a terminal or anything. However, the first experience for a manual installation is a bit more rough since you need to know also how AppDaemon works.

Anywat, I am glad you got it working and that I could help you out. Let me know if you have more questions

Regards,
Xavi M.

BoKKeR · August 6, 2022, 8:32pm

A question would be if controllerX can handle all six groups that the trust controller supports, and if so what would the config be. I see that the controller returns a different ID for each of the lights present on the controllers interface. Or would I be better at using node-red ?

rickdtc · August 9, 2022, 7:04am

I want to dim a zigbee group (hue bulbs) from the second button of a Fibaro zwave dimmer. I already made a automation and dimming works, but it’s far from smooth. Even the dimmer button in home assistant jumps back and forth if you use the Fibaro button and so do the lights. It’s like there is a sort of control function which checks if all the bulbs did receive the new brightness value and if some of the bulbs did not, home assistant matches the value of the bulb in the light control. it’s very laggy.

Can I make this work with controllerx?

stevevanhoyweghen · August 16, 2022, 9:59pm

I like to add a light and switch to my existing setup but get a “not found in namespace default” warning. Tried many things, but it seems I overlook something …

In Z2M , all seems OK. Any hints or suggestions appreciated

You are not alone, I have the same issue, which I believe is related to updates of HomeAssistant 2022.8.

I’m having trouble getting an IKEA E2002 remote working with Z2M. Any suggestions? In the Logbook I see the sensor.desk_lamp_switch_action triggers whenver it’s pressed. However, that’s not resulting as a desired action in ControllerX.

Hi,

I have also issues with E2002LightController, but with another issue. Maybe enable debug and share your appdeamon.yaml, apps.yaml and logs. This will make it easier to get help. See my post from yesterday as an example.

Regards,

Steve
