I am trying to get a trasfri remote working directly with home assistant zha without the tradfri gateway. I am using elelabs zigbee shield - which is working fine with several tradfri spots and some xaiomi zigbee devices. But I cannot get the tradfri remote to join my network. My approach: Reset…

Old thread, but for those still looking. The E1524 is support and can be paired to ZHA (with some luck and randomness) After being paired, button presses will trigger zha_event You can ‘monitor’ these events via Develops Tools > EventS [image]

I followed the steps to pair the 5 button remote with ZHA and I see the device created with just the one entity for power. I am not seeing any events coming through from the remote when I press any of the buttons (I am listening for events as described above). Any further tips on how to get the butt…

@zraken Any luck getting the events to appear? I am facing the same issue. @DavidDeSloovere Any tips will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Nope, still no zha_event. I tried different firmware versions on my tasmota sonoff zigbee bridge as well as a HUSBZB-1.

Hmmm! I also have a sonoff Zigbee dongle CC2531 connected to my RPi to manage my Zigbee. Could the sonoff hardware be the issue?

I suspect the zha integration is not handling the zigbee button press event. With zha debug enabled I see a debug message pop up on the log whenever I press a button but nothing happens after that.

Mine worked ONCE, just once. Then nothing. I suspect my Sonoff Zigbee dongle can’t handle the number of devices I have, or something similar. I tried reconnecting the remote with a new battery even. Something strange I noted: even a feet away from the TRADFRI repeater its connected to, the remote ha…

Hey Guys, i use the “Elelabs Zigbee Raspberry Pi Shield” and had the same problem. This works for me: Open the back of the tradfri remote, and press the button 4 times (the red light in front will blink for five seconds). Now in Home Assistant: Scan for new devices (in my case with “Zigbee Coordi…

@manjulapra I have not used the tradfri remote in HA, because it wasn’t worth my time. Just noticed it’s still in Home assistant, but no zha_events anymore. The dimmer is linked to led panels in my kitchen; but I’m getting a new kitchen in a few weeks, so I don’t know what I’ll do with the dimmer…

The hardware design of your ITead Zigbee adapter is almost 100% an issue too, so be sure to read this:

The MCU chip they use is very powerful so can handle loads of connected devices, but the antenna design and unshielded board they use have huge issues with electromagnetic interference. Again read:
