🎮 ZHA, deCONZ, Zigbee2MQTT - Ikea E1743 On/Off Switch & Dimmer Universal blueprint - all actions + double click events - control lights, media players and more with Hooks

thank you so much for reaching out here. I’m sorry for the huge delay, unfortunately I’m very busy at the moment and I’m unable to keep up with all the support requests I’m receiving both here and on GitHub. I hope you can understand.

Could you please share the full YAML for the automations you’re trying to setup with this blueprint?

Thanks!

epmatt · April 11, 2022, 10:23pm

Hi @Calzor_Suzay,

thank you so much for your nice feedback! I’m glad that this blueprint is useful for you.

If you want to control an RGB bulb with a controller, you can try the Light Hook blueprint. An example of the setup you could try to implement is reported here on the Controllers-Hooks Ecosystem docs.

Please let me know if you need any additional guidance. I’d be happy to help.
Thanks!

Heya! Thanks for replying. No need to apologise, I know what it’s like running an open source project in your spare time!

I ended up having to use several automations instead of this blueprint as I couldn’t get it working (nor the other E1743 one, but for a different reason); so I don’t have it setup right now.

It’s possible I will forget to do this so I won’t commit to anything, but I’ll do my best to set it up again in the next few days and get you a copy of the YAML.

Let me know if you’d rather keep track via a GitHub issue if that is more convenient for you as this seems to be a bug experienced by more than just me. It looks similar to this one, but my gut feeling is this is a separate underlying issue so I’d probably create a new issue to track the discussion.

Cheers!

jabelone · April 16, 2022, 9:06am

Talk about weird! I got a chance to set this blueprint up again to get you the config and it’s working perfectly now. The only thing that changed was a minor point update to home assistant. No idea what’s going on but it seems to be working now at least!

buhralex · May 5, 2022, 5:25pm

I just moved from Deconz to Z2M and tried to import this Blueprint. I always get an “Unknown error”. I’m already on 2022.5.0 so maybe that update broke this Blueprint?

smartmatic · May 5, 2022, 8:34pm

Unfortunately i am facing the same issue with HA 2022.5.0. The Import of the blueprint can not finished with an Unkown Error.

Any chance to fix that?

MHultman · May 6, 2022, 2:25pm

Got same “Unknown Error”.
Not only for this blueprint so might be a breaking change in 2022.05.0

smartmatic · May 7, 2022, 7:55am

The import issue for Blueprints is solved with 2022.5.2. I‘ve tested it and worked on my side.

lupleime · May 7, 2022, 11:16pm

When I set up the automation to increase brightness when I long-press I doest do anything.
would you know what could be wrong?

machielw · May 29, 2022, 8:14pm

I have this problem too, someone knows a solution? (Z2m / e1743)

SandaleZ · May 31, 2022, 7:24pm

I found the right code for ZHA
don’t forget to create a new helper file

      button_up_long:
      - move_with_on_off_MoveMode.Up_83

MarioBros · July 20, 2022, 8:10am

Hey, thanks for this great Blueprint, works very well with my Ikea Tradfri switch for single press & long press… but I am unable to get the double press option to work…

I have created the helper_last_controller_event input’ but sure if I have done it correctly or if there is any configuration I need to do…

pls can someone help

nvm - got it to work… had to tweak milliseconds

HarvinDhillon · August 11, 2022, 8:46am

Thanks man, this helped

computergreek · September 4, 2022, 11:35pm

thank you thank you thank you. this has been driving me absolutely crazy

erlendlk · September 8, 2022, 2:36pm

I had to activate legacy triggers in the HA integration of Zigbee2MQTT to accomplish this: Home Assistant integration | Zigbee2MQTT

Not sure if I am very found of the solution, as this is not the recommended way to respond to button clicks:
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/usage/integrations/home_assistant.html#via-mqtt-device-trigger-recommended

BTW: To get long press for brightness up/down to work I had to put in delays after those actions. I used 200 milliseconds as delay value.

brintal · September 21, 2022, 10:00pm

Unfortunately I cannot get this to work at all. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Running Home Assistant docker, SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus, ZHA
Other Zigbee devices work fine with this setup. Now I wanted to migrate my IKEA stuff.
The connection via ZHA works but the E1743 only shows a battery sensor, which apparently is normal?
But the automation does absolutely nothing. The text helper does not change. No Trace. Nothing in the logs.

This is the automation:

- id: '1663796275488'
  alias: TRADFRI On/Off Switch Bathroom
  description: ''
  use_blueprint:
    path: EPMatt/ikea_e1743.yaml
    input:
      integration: ZHA
      controller_device: 91b34be65ff127f49c8d9ac2fb58172c
      helper_last_controller_event: input_text.tradfri_on_off_switch_bathroom_helper
      action_button_up_short:
      - type: turn_on
       	device_id: 5d489aa7ba79100998293b5d23723c37
       	entity_id: light.bathroom
       	domain: light
      action_button_down_short:
      - type: turn_off
        device_id: 5d489aa7ba79100998293b5d23723c37
       	entity_id: light.bathroom
       	domain: light

To make sure the switch is not broken I paired it again with the Tradfri Gateway. Works fine, no problems there.
I’m rather new to HA so maybe I forgot something obvious.
Thanks in advance.

labaland · November 9, 2022, 7:34pm

@epmatt . Thanks great blueprint!
But do u know why short press action runs when im trying to do long press?

Both short and long action start when doing long press

thx

Rofo · November 21, 2022, 2:03pm

I currently only have single press up and down working, and I think its to do with this input helper.

How do you add this to home assistant ?

If I use the UI to create a new input text helper I can’t see how to add the above code.

You mention creating a new helper ‘file’, how would I go about creating this if I’m not doing it through the UI ?

SandaleZ · November 25, 2022, 7:14am

Hi,

The code must be added to:

config/blueprints/automation/EPMatt/ikea_e1743.yaml

By file editor

Afterwords create a new text helper by UI and extent the maximum letters to 255

At the end, refresh your automation
