New Ikea Somrig button, not able to connect zha

NicerDicer111 · December 12, 2023, 7:23pm

Hello
I bought the new Ikea Somrig buttons and would like to connect them to my HomeAssistant with Zigbee Dongle.
During the search of a new device, HA identifies the button but is not able to configure it. Is anybody aware if there is a way to connect a device which is currently not fully supported or do you know if there will be an integration?

Although the configuration process does not finish, the device is part of the device list. Sometimes there is a battery and identify entity and sometimes not. I can not control any entity.

You can make a device support request.

Also bought today. Win also make a feature request.

I just got it work, thanx to casperz at github.
You have to add his custom ZHA quirk (config file) to your system. Download it from here (be careful to download it “raw”, just right clock on the “raw” button on the right side of the header and “save as” or similar)

to apply a custom quirk:

install samba share addon if you have not already
create a folder named /custom_zha_quirks under /config
save this downloaded .py file here
activate using custom quirks by addind this code to configuration.yaml:

zha:
  enable_quirks: true
  custom_quirks_path: /config/custom_zha_quirks/

restart HA
add the somrig to ZHA

Hi all,
It works for me with ZHA. I have needed to pair it many times before button 1 works.
Does anyone have a blueprint for this switch ?

It must be said that the Somrig has a much worse latency than the older Tradfri dimmer switch. A single press iniates two actions in sequence:
“Initial Switch Press - Button 1” and shortly after “Remote Button Short Press - Button 1”
Even if I trigger actions with the first event, it is significantly slower as the old nice Tradfri I is a shame it is not distributed any more.

I have also observed this.
I recently bought a Vallhorn, PARASOLL and the Somrig. After much trial and error and some research, I no longer buy Ikea zigbee devices. AAA batteries are not an advantage when the reliability is gone

Has anyone got this to work using two of these SOMRIG devices?

The first one after doing this work around worked with out issues but the second is now sticking at the configuration stage as it did before the I put this in.
Update:
I have now worked out how I got this to work. I paid it with a repeater rather than the controller and it then worked…

For me, using 1.2V batteries helped.

So basically similar issue as with the Valhorn motion detector, that gave false detections when using basic 1.5V AAA batteries.

Absolute garbage button, not once after 50 attempts did it ever finish pairing, not even trying direct pairing using known good routers even from IKEA. Looking at the debug logs, the buttons just stop responding during pairing, and all HA requests to them time out. What the F IKEA.

GARBAGE. DO NOT BUY.

I threw three of them in the trash just 10 minutes ago.

And worse still, IKEA no longer sells TRADFRI.

I am never buying smart IKEA anything ever again.

Oh and by the way the quirks file did nothing. I verified it loaded and everything. No difference.

Hey @kszaboa,

Thank you for saving me from another trip to IKEA. It still works in 2025

Interesting. Just a few days ago I purchased SOMRIG, TRETAKT and VALLHORN. I haven’t tried the latter yet, but the first two work fine. I have sonoff zigbee dongle, ZHA, and haven’t made any special changes to zigbee config. All the zigbee stuff has pretty much worked out of the box, so to speak…! Even a Xiaomi zigbee power plug I purchased years ago and never used until now works and acts as a router. There are lots of posts of zigbee being unreliable, maybe I have been lucky or maybe because I have only recently got in to the game - at a more mature development stage of zigbee.

Hi! Ive tried everything in this thread, and i can connect and configure the device just fine - but it wont register any button presses.
Anyone encounted the same issue?
