Shelly and a setup for an old person

Configuration
1

My 90 mother has decided to install motors in the roll-up shutter in her house, the idea was to not have cables coming down on the walls.
My plan for her is to use a shelly 2.5 with the following configuration

cover:
- platform: mqtt
    name: "Tapparella camera matrimoniale"
    state_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch-32B3DB/roller/0"   
    command_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch-32B3DB/roller/0/command"  
    payload_open: "open"
    payload_close: "close"
    payload_stop: "stop"
    state_open: "open"
    state_closed: "close"
    state_stop: "stop"
    retain: false
    optimistic: false
    qos: 0
    position_open: 100
    position_closed: 0
    value_template: '{{ value.x }}'

This works ok because I see this in Home Assistant and I have this

However my mother is struggling to use the tablet so I wanted to integrate two phisical buttons that works over zigbee, I did so by using the Deconz module and a philips

The problem that I am facing is that with this integration of Shelly I do not see in home assistant buttons that I can activate to send the shutter up or down using an automation script.

Any smart idea on how to have shelly 2.5 configured in rolling shutter mode and still have up / down buttons that I can trigger from an automation script connected with the Philips ZIgbee switch ?

Thanks for the help

What are the entity_ids of your philips buttons in HA?

Philips Hue dimmers do not show up as entities in HA but raise the event ‘deconz_event’ which can trigger automations. See the documentation at https://www.home-assistant.io/components/deconz/ specifically the section on remote controls.

I have been able to identify the deconz events of the hue switch from Philips and I am able to trigger actions out of it.

What I am not able to do is activate the shelly 2.5 buttons when the device is put in roller mode. It is seems that when the device goes in roller mode it starts working in a completely different way.

So my objective would be that when I touch one button on the hue philips switch I trigger the motor on till I keep the button pushed and the reverse happens if I hit another button, so in this way I can emulate the push of the buttons in the graphical interface.

I hope this clarifies the needs

Thanks for the help
