I have created a blueprint for my Ikea Bilresa scroll wheel remote.
Button supports:
- click
- double-click
- long-click
- on-hold
Scroll wheel supports:
- for lights:
– dimming
– color temperature change
– color hue change - for media player:
– volume control
You need two additional helper scripts for color control, these can also be used stand-alone (e.g. as action for double-click or on-hold), see below.
Update: 2025-01-01
- use automation mode
singleinstead ofrestart(useful for some edge cases) - fix issue if entity names of buttons are suffixed with
_2(e.g. for second Bilresa device with same device name)
previous changes
- add sections to blueprint
breaking change:
– to support future enhancements I renamed “lights_target” → “scroll_wheel_target”, you have to reconfigure this once, sorry- add volume control for media player
- fix: check if old_state is ‘unavailable’
- add “on-hold” action
Description
A typical example for a light may look like this:
- toggle light “Globe” on click
- use scroll-wheel to dim up/down light “Globe” (you can change dim step size and min brightness as well)
- long-click turns light “Globe” on
- on-hold calls repeatedly helper script “light_color_hs_helper” to change color of light “Globe”
A typical example for a media player may look like this:
- start/pause player on click
- double-click jumps to next title
- use scroll-wheel to volume up/down (you can change volume step size and max volume as well)
