Did anybody find good music remote?

So with IKEA and Sonos parting paths, I cannot buy any symfinisk device anymore where I live.

I could get by buying some more expensive speakers, but what I miss more is symfinisk music remote controller. I tried to search but did not find anything that came remotely (pun intended) close to the OG IKEA remote.

Did anybody had some more luck?

I really like the possibility to play/pause manage volume skip songs forward and back and some more buttons (I assigned custom playlists to those) without needing to open app directly on the wall in the room where I have the speakers.

Shelly just released a new remote, maybe that serves your needs.

I like the loratap zigbee 6 gang button. I use it to control my music and climate on my office. With single, double and long press you have 18 different actions you can trigger with one remote.

I’ve had mine several months now and no issues with battery life, connectivity, or durability so far.

Had the same problem,

Found a equivalent to the Gen1

Is discoverd by Z2M and fully managable by Switch Manager

As for the Gen2, Hue Tap Dial will probably work, but way to expensive.
Just ordered a Sunricher, looks the same as Hue, brobably have to create a blueprint …

First impression of the Sunricher. Does what it’s designed for.
Easy pairing z2m.
Very strong magnet, buttons are ok, no silent dial.
Quick and dirty automation to get it to work, better one coming later.
