New user problems with IKEA Tradfri On/Off switch and ZHA

Configuration Zigbee

Hi,

Wife bought an IKEA On/Off switch that came with an IKEA plug. They were paired when we got them and after plugging in the plug and putting the battery in the switch I could toggle the plug on and off.

I added the switch into HA via ZHA. It seemed to get stuck on the configuration stage but the device is showing in ZHA although it has no entities associated with it.

I reconfigured the device twice but it fails although some of the entities were imported correctly.

I wasn’t sure how to get the entities to show so I imported a blueprint (not sure if this is the correct thing to do) but when I go to create Automations with this blueprint the Tradfri device is not listed.

Finally, now when I manually press the Tradfri button the plug does not turn on/off like it did before I added it into ZHA.

I’ve tried googling this issue but I’m getting nowhere and I think that because I’m a relatively newcomer to this arena I don’t know what to really search for to get some answers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, see Known Limitations on this page:

You can see the button events being sent to HA by viewing them in Developer Tools. Here are two as an example:

You can do more with these buttons by configuring automations with event triggers.
