It being a single repo isn’t an issue imho, but only having 1 person who maintains it is

Yes, I must have written the last post in haste as it wasn’t clear. Single-person managed repo.

Hi guys, I’d like to set up the Symfonisk wheel to control my Sonos soundbar as usual with an addition of the single press acting as a pause/play on my NVIDIA shield (connected to the same TV). Is this something I should be able to do?

[HVR88]

Yes, you can do that. I did find the performance for controlling volume unacceptable however, but that might be different depending on which media device you’re controlling (in my case it’s a Marantz AVP). Also the Symfonisk rotary misfires the incorrect direction periodically - and I’ve been unable to de-bounce these spurious directions using the blueprint.

Okay it looks like I got ahead of myself as I still haven’t got the controller-hook working. I’ve followed the documetation and feel like I have everything set up correctly but the issue I’m getting is the controller isn’t talking to the hook. As shown in the screen shots attached, the Controller Log is picking up actions on the rotary remote. Any suggestions on what mistake I’ve made?

Note the I’m using a newly purchased SkyConnect dongle to connect the rotary remote - it was working fine with the Sonos Arc using there Ikea Hub.

[n00bish (Bill)]

Right - worked out that I hadn’t created the necessary helper file, my bad!

Clicks on the remote are working but I’m now having trouble with the volume control. I’ve tried with and without the Hook and in both cases the wheel isn’t changing the volume.

When I use the Controller alone I’ve found that running the the volume up and down actions makes the speaker respond so I’m comfortable I’ve got that aspect set up correctly. Also log on Device page shows that it’s picking up when I make changes in the remote… any suggestions?

[n00bish (Bill)]

Just on my post above, I was meant to say that I’ve made this change and it’s still not working. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks I’m advance.

Edit:
Right! Resolved. I missed this post by drsound. Thanks for your work with this @drsound

Hello,
My media player automation using a IKEA Symfonisk knob (via Deconz) doesn’t work properly anymore (it worked fine for at least a year or so).
The controller automation does not capture the rotation stop events from Deconz. I still see the 2003 & 3003 deconz_events, but the controller does not pass them to the media player, i.e. there is no rotate_stop event from ahb_controller_event. The media player automation loops until it reaches the maximum allowed number of iterations - in practice my volume goes super low or super high because it does not detect the stop rotation event.
Has anyone seen that recently and do you know how to fix it ?
Thank you

Hi Matt, refer to my last post referencing drsound’s post. He’s created a new blueprint that makes things work…

[madrian]

Hi,

The volume setting on media player hook is absolutely not working for me. I don’t even see any action in traces debug menu. In ZHA / entity log I see event when I rotate the knob.

Here is the entity I am trying to control:

Play/pause by single click is working fine after I added some debuncing.

What can be the problem?

Hello everyone,

I put my E1744 symfonisk controller via zigbee2mqtt, and these blueprint but they are very sensitives.

Do you know how to change sensitive ?

Thanks

[fitsou]

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

[rocketpants (Ed)]

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 ?

[hesspoint (Hannes)]

How can I import this blueprint?

[tom_l]

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

[Sir_Goodenough ((SG) WhatAreWeFixing.Today)]

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

[hesspoint (Hannes)]

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.
