Ikea switch E1743 with ZHA

Configuration Zigbee
6

I’m not sure if debug need to be enabled, but you can try this settings in configuration.yaml

logger:
  default: error
  logs:
    hacs: debug
    limitlessled: info
    asyncio: info
    homeassistant.components.zha: debug
    zigpy: debug
    bellows: info
    zigpy_deconz: debug
    zigpy_zigate: info

yes, I had set debug on the zha components. I can see the messages coming from the other (round) remotes, but nothing comes from the square ones at all.

Sorry, don’t know.

When I listen to events, nothing ever shows up - for both round and square buttons.
Any idea how to get at least some activity logged?

Hi there.
Have you managed to take this button working? I have the same one, with same behavior. Thus I am curious :slight_smile:

11

Yes, but not with ZHA since I have Hass.io on top of Raspbian and didn’t want to mock around trying to add the file off GitHub.

My solution, as per this thread https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ikea-switch-e1743/151429/12?u=oxyd was to buy a ConBee II and use deCONZ for now - and this is working great!

The button works with the latest version of zha-quirks which will be in an upcoming home assistant release.

Can confirm this works with raspbee. Bought one today and can switch on / off anything really via automations and zha_event

14

Any news on this? Is it supposed to work in the latest update?

15

Square remotes work perfectly for me based on current release.
When creating an automation I can simply select ‘Device’ as the trigger type, then choose a trigger within that.

Thanks! Which release are you referring to? I do see the same options in automations, but if I press on the switch it does not trigger the automation

Lastest Home Assistant.
I experienced some switches not triggering also. Adding and removing the device fixed it.

Anybody know how to configure it as dimmer in HomeAssistant?

Hi there

Have the same issue with a E1743 with ZHA.

I tried to listening for zha_events and get nothing from this on/off switch.
I only see the battery level :frowning:

20

Sometimes you need to remove the remote from ZHA then add it back to get events generated.

21

I tried this, still the same issue :frowning:

22

Same here. Paired successfully a bunch of Aqara switches and they are working nicely.
Ikea remotes both square and round pair but only functional part is battery. Zha_event doesn’t show any activity for these, too.
Tried to update the firmware of the Ikea devices trough the suggested ZHA route but it didn’t pan out, too.

Hello,

I also have this problem with a Tradfri E1810 remote with the last firmware.
My zigbee coordinator is a zigate.

I seem to have the same problem. Tried with both the square on/off switch and the round one. Both show up as battery sensors. No zha_events are sent, in fact, they send no events at all (tried with *).

Using the sonoff cc2531 USB dongle

Tried to remove and pair several different times, also rebooted system.

The ikea outlet seems to work fine though.

Any news on this?

Did you consider using zigbee2mqtt instead of ZHA?
I had good results with the E1743 and the cc2531.
