I’m new with Home Assistant and just bought these buttons at Ikea (model tradfri E1812 in fact)
I have a conbee II zigbee dongle and I was able to pair my buttons to my environment, however, there is no useful entity except the battery level… do you have any tricks to fix that? A working template?
If you use ZHA, go to Developer Tools then Events under Listen to Events type zha_event and start listening. Now click a button on your remote and see if something pops up.
Now you confuse me xD. you say that is your automation, but that is the event. You have to use the event as a trigger within an automation. Is that clear or not?
I’ve just bought an Ikea Tradfri E1812 button and I’m having difficulties pairing it with my Conbee II stick.
The thing is I cannot even have the back lights flash red
I followed those instructions : https://youtu.be/6TqFYLf3K_Y?t=36
I tried clicking 4 times the tiny reset button on the back and also tried pressing it for 10 seconds.
Actually I was able to have the lights flash red only once after pressing for 10 seconds.
Which did not allow the Conbee stick to pair anyway…
Either I’m missing something in the pairing process or the button is very picky.
So I’m curious to know if anyone else was able to pair that E1812 to Conbee at all before I waste too much time on it, thanks for your advice !
Replying to myself.
I was able to pair the button eventually but it’s really a hit or miss
I changed the battery with another one I knew had juice but I’m not sure that’s the reason it worked…
Oh well, I’m good to go now.
