Same here. They don’t work anymore. Zigbee2MQTT works fine, had an update too.

My Zigbee2mqtt works also good.
As you can see the battery state is showing in nodred.

Wil there be a update for this?

I hoop so, because the ikea remotes are great.

Lookt at it.
But a lot of the devices dorsnt have an device-id.

Somebody having a explenation how to ad a device-id to a zigbee device.
And how to ad it to mqtt.

As a quick fix you can add in z2m config:
homeassistant:
legacy_action_sensor: true

If you’re using Zigbee2MQTT version 2.0, enable “Home Assistant legacy action sensors”. By default, version 2.0 eliminated all sensor.xxxxx_action` entities.

I think it would be best not to use the legacy or experimental feature and use the recommended MQTT device trigger

just use something like this:

  - trigger: mqtt
    topic: zigbee2mqtt/Ikea Styrbar/action
    enabled: true
    payload: arrow_right_click

or this:

  - domain: mqtt
    device_id: 414697fe1f182dbee46c8964f3771be4
    type: action
    subtype: arrow_right_click
    trigger: device

Thanks.
just found out where i can find de device-ids.

Finaly this wil be the only way i think.

I now just dont now where to put programming wich you advice.

In configuration.yaml
Or
In automatation?

For now the legacy works, but for how long is the big question :slight_smile:

well you will have to replace the outdated action sensors (see Home Assistant action sensor (deprecated)) in all your automations

so get rid of this:

triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: sensor.ikea_styrbar_action
    ...

and replace through the variants mentioned above

Looks like for Node Read atomations there is no solution rather than sticking with legacy_action_sensor: true: How to use Node-RED with MQTT device trigger from Zigbee2MQTT 2.0.0 breaking change? · Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt · Discussion #25579 · GitHub
