@davefrooney you said you were able to pair it with Conbee2. was it via Phoscon ? Can you tell me how you did, please ? I’m not able to pair it with Conbee2.
Thanks,
I used Zha. I pressed the pair button 4 time and scanned with Zha. The device showed up with only a battery entity. I’m not sure if Phoscon works
Thanks, I doesn’t work with Phoscon. Unfortunately looks like it’s not compatible. Thanks again.
I feel like I’m understanding the concept here for ZHA, but it’s not seeming to work for me. I have it paired and have a battery sensor entity. I went to Developer Options -> Events, typed in zha_event in the “Event to subscribe to” box and hit “Start Listening”. I pressed the Tradfri Shortcut button, and … nothing happens. No events appear in the log. I’m stumped at this point. For the price, I’m honestly not against just going out and buying the Tradfri hub and using the Tradfri integration and just using these devices that way, but I’d like to try to get this working through ZHA if possible.

If you use ZHA you can use my automation blueprint to easily add functions to the shortcut button.

Hi, anyone else having the problem that the batteries drain super fast? I replaced to a new battery today because the Ikea one was low, but in just a few hours it’s down to 6 %.

I think the battery reporting is off. I have been on 24% battery for months after replacing the battery. Has your device actually died or just reporting low battery?
I think you might be right. It like almost instantly got low so maybe it will stay on 6, because it actually has been 6 for some hours. I first thought it had died when an automation stopped working, which I wrote about in an another thread, but I don’t think it’s due to the battery. I’ll check again when home.
Bad news. After less than a day the battery is drained. 0% and the button is dead. After changing to a new battery it’s working again. Something must keep the button busy doing something it shouldn’t. Guess I’ll stick to the aqara buttons in the future.
Thank you. It works !!
So these are similar to aqara that does multi push functions? (single, double etc)
I’m having the same issue with the shortcut button and ZHA. The shortcut button pairs successfully, its device signature matches the signature from the first post in this thread, but pressing the button yields no events. I’m pressing the button several inches away from my Zigbee stick, so I know range isn’t the issue.
EDIT: After waiting about 30 minutes, the button started working all on its own. It does report 2-5 zha_events for each button press, but I can deal with that in the automation.
Is there a nice way to add it via Phoscon ?

Is it possible to add it by only using the Ikea intergration ?
I see the device, but can only see the battery level

Hi Dennis. Did you get it going using the Ikea integration? I am the same. I can only see the battery level sensor also.
Cheers, Matt
Yes but i change config, to running it on zha 
and it works now 
FWIW, I could pair the button in Phoscon Beta:
http://phoscon.de/pwabeta/
Then go to “Switches beta”.
Also, there was a double-event bug in Deconz, that got fixed in Deconz 2.11.05.
Now it works just like other buttons, i.e. listening to deconz_event 1002 etc.
Same here. I could pair the button after the third try.
Then it didn’t do anything. After about 10 Minutes it started working without me changing anything.
And now it sends 2-3 identical events when I press the button once.
Weird behavior but as you said: It’s possible to handle this when you know it.
The automation doesn’t show up after I create the blueprint. Is there something I’m missing? I’m new to blueprints (and HA).
It also hasn’t started spontaneously working the way it seems to have for some people here.
Edit: Not sure why it needed Reconfigure, but that did the trick.
