🎮 ZHA, deCONZ, Zigbee2MQTT - Ikea E1744 SYMFONISK rotary remote Universal blueprint - all actions - control lights, media players and more with Hooks

Good day to all.
I have installed the Blueprint and works ok-ishh.
here is my setup:

the issue Ι’m having with this setup is that i have a small delay in the bulbs. first open or closes the left and after some seconds.

Is there a better way to fix the delay?

PS: I’ve tried to group them together but the Blueprint menu does not see it.

I set this up with the rotary controller about a year ago and it was working fine for a dimmable light. The battery died and I left it until today, now when I turn the knob the brightness steps all the way up/down, can anyone help?

Thanks

Mine stopped working recently after changing the battery and doing a Z2M upgrade. Not sure which, if either of these, introduced the problem.

I can see the rotate_stop command in the mqtt server but it isn’t coming through in the ahb_controller event (that is, I only get the rotate_left event and not the rotate_stop at the end of the rotation). Attempted all sorts of different values to de-bounce but that has no impact.

Last item in my home before I can kill the IKEA hub for good is one of these rotary remotes. I use it to control my sonos speaker. From glancing through this thread, I have a feeling that I’m not gonna be able to use it properly with ZHA. Did anyone ever succeed making it function as it does with the IKEA app ?

How can I import this blueprint?

tom_l · April 10, 2024, 5:59am

By clicking on the link in the first post in this topic.

You don’t want to.
The author is no longer available to support it…

hesspoint · April 10, 2024, 5:30pm

Well it seems to be the only one for the device for Z2M. Or is there a better one. Otherwise I would try it and use it as long as it works.

rpuls · April 10, 2024, 7:14pm

Following - also looking for a solution to get this device to work outside of IKEAs ecosystem. Please tag me if you find a solution

sparkydave · April 12, 2024, 12:51am

I suggest looking at Switch Manager. It works with the IKEA devices including this rotary one.

Thanks so much for the tip.

Woah that integration is amazing!! Setup the sound remote and it works perfectly.

Just wish I had known about this one before manually creating automations for each of my 30 or so Friends of Hue Lightswitches, Hue Dimmer Switches and Ikea Buttons over the past couple of days…

rpuls · April 13, 2024, 10:29pm

How did you install the integration? I’m trying via HACS, but I’m getting an error…

hesspoint · April 14, 2024, 3:28pm

Just went into HACS and clicked install. No issues. I am using the Home Assistant OS install. Are you sure you got the correct integration selected?

Or do you have some “exotic” installation of HA?

rpuls · April 14, 2024, 6:54pm

Yes I’m using standard HA, nothing exitic. and latest version…

When I click the “add integration” I’m taken to this URL: Link to Integrations: add integration – My Home Assistant

Can you confirm that this is the correct integration?

LeoG · May 19, 2024, 10:46am

Hello @n00bish , @drsound & HA fans,

I experiment with HA since about a year (considering myself newbie).
I get a Docker install of HA.

I created a ikea_e1744.yaml file located at /home/[USER]/hass-config/blueprints/automation/homeassistant/ using

~$ sudo nano /home/[USER]/hass-config/blueprints/automation/homeassistant/ikea_e1744.yaml

and pasted there the content from @drsound since I understand it was never merged.

I reloaded config using
Developper Tools > YAML > All Yaml Configuration
(Tried Developper Tools > YAML > Automations as well)

However the blueprint does not appear magically in the blueprint list…

Any idea why?

rpuls · June 11, 2024, 9:05pm

Hey @LeoG . Do you not have the “import blueprint” button on the docker instance of HA?

If you do, then click it, and paste it the url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EPMatt/awesome-ha-blueprints/157f8964a777ac5ae4acd108c7cc7766256fe44f/blueprints/controllers/ikea_e1744/ikea_e1744.yaml

This is the link @drsound posted ealier. It worked perfectly for me

Hellis81 · June 12, 2024, 4:50am

I have this remote working fine in both HA and Node red.
Not sure what the issue is.
Although I recommend getting the new that is not spinning. That is a far much better remote. The only downside of that remote is that it’s all white and it’s really hard to see what button is what.

Anyways, the old remote. Here is my automation for that remote

This blueprint does not work properly anymore since HA v2024.10!
I use the Ikea volume knobs for changing the volume of my denon receiver. Can’t use the option “loop until stop” anymore because it brakes the automation somehow. Without this option enabled I have to spin the knob very very slowly.
In HA v2024.9 with “loop until stop” enabled it worked so perfectly! Is there a workaround to make it work again in the newer HA releases?

There’s an issue on the Redux repo here: Bug - E1744 rotates continuously with light brightness or media volume · Issue #25 · lsismeiro/awesome-ha-blueprints · GitHub
(I haven’t made a redux forum post yet, if we get a fix for it, I can?)
