Hi everyone,

I’m fairly new to Home Assistant and recently set up an environment using an IKEA DIRIGERA hub (connected via Matter) together with several IKEA LED strips, plus a few Tuya‑based LED devices. Everything in the core setup works without issues.

I’m now trying to integrate an older IKEA Trådlös 5‑button remote to control one of the Tuya lights, but I’ve run into a problem:

  • The remote is detected in Home Assistant as a Matter device
  • Button presses do show up as events in HA
  • But the remote cannot directly control any Tuya device

Since DIRIGERA exposes this remote only through Matter (and not through a Zigbee gateway), it seems the remote doesn’t provide any native control clusters or bindings that HA can use for direct device‑to‑device control. Instead, it looks like the only available interface is the event stream.

So my questions are:

  1. Is event‑based automation the only option when using the 5‑button remote via DIRIGERA + Matter?
  2. Has anyone managed to make this remote control non‑IKEA devices (like Tuya LEDs) in a similar setup?
  3. Would switching to a Zigbee coordinator (e.g. SkyConnect, Zigbee2MQTT) give me full access to the remote’s capabilities?

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated

Never heard of. Is this the commercial name of TRÅDFRI in your country?

Yes

Yes

Bottom-line: You will not be able to create direct bindings with the hub, unless the Ikea app allows you to (no personal experience)
