How do I cycle through scenes/ entities/ devices correctly using IKEA Styrbar blueprint?

Hello everyone,

This is my first post. I recently installed Home Asisstant and so far managed to set up my Shellys for the blinds and Zigbee2MQTT with the Sonoff USB Dongle. I also integrated the first lights and switches.

Currently I’m trying to configure my IKEA Styrbar the following way:

  • First up button short press: Turn on scene.wz_stehleuchten_warmweiss (living_room_floor_lamps_warm_white)

  • Next up button short press: Turn on scene.wz_stehleuchten_kaltweiss (living_room_floor_lamps_cold_white)

  • Next up button short press: Turn on scene.wz_deckenleuchte (living_room_ceiling_lamp)

And then with every further short button press cycle through the scenes.

I have set this up using the epmatt Styrbar blueprint and also configured the helper_last_controller_event and the input_select helper as shown in this video by Smart Home Junkie.

What happens is this:

  • First up button short press: Nothing

  • Next up button short press: scene.wz_stehleuchten_kaltweiss is activated

  • Next up button short press: scene.wz_deckenleuchte is activated ADDITIONALLY.

  • Next up button short press: Nothing

Three problems:

  • First scene does not activate on initial up button short press

  • The scenes get activated additionally to the last scene activated, they accumulate. But I want only one scene activated at a time.

  • After the third button press, instead of starting the cycle over again, nothing happens and all scenes stay activated (but maybe something happens and I do not realize this as all scenes are activated, anyway).

This is how it looks like what I’ve set up:

The automation using the blueprint:

I’m pretty sure I forgot something that is needed to solve the problem. Please tell me what else is needed.

Thanks a lot for your support!
