Hi! I have a Shelly BLU Remote and try to integrate it in Home Assistant via Zigbee. I am using a Smartlight SLZB06U Zigbee Adapter.
I can add the Zigbee device, but the Remote has several Buttons and I am only getting 2 entities?
I do get some “Attributes” via the management option, but i dont know if this can be used? I was hoping for normal entities for the remote buttons…
Buttons don’t create entities - they create events.
You can see them in the Actions section on the right side of the screen in your screenshot
Thanks! How can i use these in Automations? Can you show an example?
I can’t show any specific examples because I don’t own one, but I can show you a way so you don’t need to create the automations for it yourself.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Blueprints, where other people have done the hard work for you already.
These are just 2 random ones I found. Pick which one you like best, or search the Blueprints exchange section of the forums:
Thanks! I think those blueprints are for the Shelly RC button (a different, older product). The Shelly Remote Control is their latest product, i could not find any information on how to integrate it. And probably there is also no blueprints yet.
But the blueprint would definitely be the best solution! Hoping that there will be one for for the Remote soon 
My bad. Ok, Plan B:
Start with the basics. Perform the below actions at least once & confirm you can see the actions being fired on the device page.
Remember to do a short AND long press for each of the < & > buttons. Note that once the channel is changed via <> buttons, you have to press the ring buttons & scroll wheel again, since the channel will have changed.
If all goes well, you should have 16 different actions learned - Left & Right ring button single press, Scroll Wheel up/down, multiplied by channels 1-4.
Once you do that, create a new Automation & select the Device Trigger:
Once you pick the Shelly Remote, you should see all those actions available in the dropdown. I’m using my Hue Dial in the screenshot below, just to give you an idea.
Create an automation using a single trigger & have it do something simple, like turning on/off a light. Save & test it. If it works, go back into the automation and edit the trigger to use a different action. Keep repeating for all actions until you’re happy everything is working.
Now, you have 2 options. Either create a separate automation for each trigger, or else create a single automation with multiple triggers and multiple actions.
For this you’ll need to grab a drink and read up on how to use a Trigger ID and Choose.
Good luck!
Thanks for your help!
I do see the actions from the remote, but how can i record them and use them as triggers? If i select the remote in the automations dialogue, it shows only 2 options?
They should have shown up automatically. Restart HA & check again just in case, but if they still don’t show up, you’re gonna have to use event triggers, which requires some advanced knowledge.
Basically, you’ll have to read through [this] (Developer tools - Home Assistant) & listen for each zha_event (follow the steps in the screenshot here).
You’re gonna need a stronger drink!
