IKEA STYRBAR - duplicated events

Configuration Zigbee
1

I have 2 Ikea styrbar remotes on my setup (using ZHA with a conbee II adapter).

One is working ok. One click generates one event and I can trigger some automation based on that

The second one is behaving weirdly and multiple events are generated several events (currently 5 of them but earlier today it was 2 or 3). An event log is below

I have tried removing the device then repairing it. In some cases, it emitted 2-3 events per click right after pairing. In some cases, it behaved properly for a short while then started firing multiple events again.

I am running the latest stable version of home assistant (in docker)
Both styrbar are on the same version of the firmware: 0x00010024

Happy to help with any debugging

Did you make any progress? I’m having similar.
Just bought Styrbar yesterday, added to my Conbee II stick.

I was trying to trap the event and then get lights to turn on. Here is the automation, but please realize it is NOT YET working. But something to model on.

Not much

Thank you. I’m struggling to get the automation to work right now.
Will try to get the blueprint working. I tried it once with no success – so perhaps pilot error.

Thanks for the reply.

Debouncing it at the very bottom of the page
One error I did with the blueprint is going very fast and thinking that the “Helper - Last Controller Event” is optional. It’s written “required” but helper really made me think otherwise :slight_smile:

Good luck

OK. It finally works now. Agree. I had to add the helper input_text, reloaded and now the blueprint is working for me.

For others, here are the steps I followed.

  1. Pair the StyrBar with ZHA/Conbee II stick. Pairing mode on the StyrBar requires 4 quick button presses, look for the light to flash.
  2. Search for device in ZHA (adding the device).
  3. Add an input_text field similar to:
last_message_zha:
  name: Last Message ZHA
  initial: Some Text
  1. Add the Blueprint, Create a new automation.
  2. In the new automation, add the remote to catch the events.
  3. In the automation builder, be sure to reference the Helper - Last Controller Event.

This worked for me.

Thanks for your help!
