Rotary dimmer as volume control SOLVED

Lipown · December 18, 2019, 7:56am

Not sure if the quetsion is pointed at me. I am not using Deconz but zigbee2mqtt so sorry, cannot help you with Deconz

I found the solution here:

So now it’s all very nice! And more rotary dimmers/volume controls are on their way.

In case it’s useful to anyone, I adapted Xydix’s nifty code to work with Zigbee2mqtt rather than deCONZ.

Here’s the automation part - no change to the scripts. I added an extra boolean flag (‘updown’) to indicate whether the volume was increasing or decreasing because the ‘rotate_stop’ payload will be triggered in both cases. Hacky and doubtless not the proper way to do it (my programming skills are minimal), but it works. Thanks again Xydix for the original code. Replace ‘zigbee2mqtt/Symfonisk IKEA volume’ with whatever the name of your Symfonisk remote is in MQTT.

  - alias: symfonisk raise volume on
    initial_state: 'on'
    trigger:
    - platform: mqtt
      topic: 'zigbee2mqtt/Symfonisk IKEA volume'
    condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ 'rotate_right' in trigger.payload }}"

    action:
      - service: input_boolean.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_volume
      - service: script.turn_on
        entity_id: script.symfonisk_raise_volume
      - service: input_boolean.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_updown
          
  - alias: symfonisk raise volume off
    initial_state: 'on'
    trigger:
    - platform: mqtt
      topic: 'zigbee2mqtt/Symfonisk IKEA volume'
    condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ 'rotate_stop' in trigger.payload }}"
    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_updown
      state: 'off'
      
    action:
      - service: input_boolean.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_volume
          
  - alias: symfonisk lower volume on
    initial_state: 'on'
    trigger:
    - platform: mqtt
      topic: 'zigbee2mqtt/Symfonisk IKEA volume'
    condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ 'rotate_left' in trigger.payload }}"

    action:
      - service: input_boolean.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_volume
      - service: script.turn_on
        entity_id: script.symfonisk_lower_volume
      - service: input_boolean.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_updown        

  - alias: symfonisk lower volume off
    initial_state: 'on'
    trigger:
    - platform: mqtt
      topic: 'zigbee2mqtt/Symfonisk IKEA volume'
    condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ 'rotate_stop' in trigger.payload }}"
    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_updown
      state: 'on'  

    action:
      - service: input_boolean.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_volume

Hello robban,
Would it be possible, that you share a short Tutorial of your solution.
I would like to have the Same setup as you.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Dominik

Robban · December 26, 2019, 11:37am

Here is my AppDaemon application https://github.com/Kane610/appdaemon-apps/blob/a08097a717c4b219850978931f9231b1fb4edd7b/symfonisk_controller.py

ds1707 · December 26, 2019, 11:51am

Thank you for your quick reply, i will test it, when my controller arrive!

pitoganzado · December 27, 2019, 9:26pm

hi @Robban how are you?
how can I use this AppDaemon script?
any guide/help?
Thanks!

Robban · December 27, 2019, 9:39pm

Set up appdaemon copy the app into the app folder configure an app i Arion wit on these parameters

[remote_id] -- [remote id]
[media_player_entity_id] -- [media player entity id]

nickrout · December 27, 2019, 9:45pm

Ummm typo?

pitoganzado · December 27, 2019, 11:27pm

hi @Pabs how are you?
I use your code, but with a single touch in volume button, the volume goes all up or all down.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Pabs · December 29, 2019, 9:01am

Hi @pitoganzado - the code I posted was just the automation part, so did you define the necessary extra boolean in your configuration.yaml?

Something like (please excuse the formatting, don’t forget the necessary indentations):

input_boolean:
symfonisk_updown:
name: Symfonisk up or down
initial: off

pitoganzado · January 2, 2020, 10:51pm

@Pabs thanks, missing exactly that! Now works amazing!

I add Play/Pause, skip forward and skip backward to the code.
Maybe this can help someone, this is my entire package ( symfonisk.yaml ).
Just change the “media_player.cozinha_2” and the topic ‘zigbee2mqtt/Sonos Controlador’ to yours devices.

input_boolean:
  symfonisk_volume:
    name: Symfonisk Volume
    initial: off
  symfonisk_dummy_delay:
  symfonisk_updown:

      - service: input_boolean.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_dummy_delay

      - service: input_boolean.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_dummy_delay

      - service: media_player.volume_set
        entity_id: media_player.cozinha_2
        data_template:
          volume_level: '{{ states.media_player.cozinha_2.attributes.volume_level - 0.01 }}'

      - service: script.turn_off
        entity_id: script.symfonisk_lower_volume

      - service: script.turn_on
        entity_id: script.symfonisk_lower_volume

  symfonisk_raise_volume:
    sequence:

      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.symfonisk_volume
        state: 'off'

Thank you for your appdaemon code. Works like a charm!

flexyneat · February 11, 2020, 10:57am

Hi,

Just followed your example and made the necessary changes. I am able to successfully use the symfonisk volume controller to skip fwd (double tap), skip back (triple tap) and play/pause (single tap).

However, turning clockwise or counter clockwise does not affect volume. I don’t see any errors in the logs, the automatons and scripts are called accordingly when i turn or click the remote.

skynet01 · March 2, 2020, 4:46pm

I am new to SYMFONISK, and thinking about getting it. Which route do you guys suggest going Zigbee2mqtt or Deconz route? Which is easier to set up and works smoother?

davidlamd89 · March 9, 2020, 12:10pm

Can you share your devices.yaml configuration for the remote? I’m using 0.01 but still having problems.

flexyneat · March 19, 2020, 9:14am

ok, got it resolved… had a mistake in the script section.

Works fine now. Thanks for the help

s0me0ne · March 19, 2020, 5:23pm

I’ve just copied&pasted this into my configuration and did the search&replace as noted in the comment from @pitoganzado. Volume control works perfectly for me! Thank you very much!

Grynneman · April 8, 2020, 3:28pm

Hi,

got the symfonisk volume working ok, using conbee/zha/node-red, but when I tap the button once, I get three zha events in rapid succession (sub second). I’m stumped, does anyone have any suggestions how I investigate further?
Thanks.
