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 daysā¦
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 āexoticā installation of HA?
Yes Iām using standard HA, nothing exitic. and latest versionā¦
When I click the āadd integrationā Iām taken to this URL: Link to Integrations: add integration ā My Home Assistant
Can you confirm that this is the correct integration?
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 listā¦
Any idea why?
Hey @LeoG . Do you not have the āimport blueprintā 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 
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 itās all white and itās 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. Canāt use the option āloop until stopā 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 āloop until stopā enabled it worked so perfectly! Is there a workaround to make it work again in the newer HA releases?
Thereās an issue on the Redux repo here: Bug - E1744 rotates continuously with light brightness or media volume Ā· Issue #25 Ā· lsismeiro/awesome-ha-blueprints Ā· GitHub
(I havenāt made a redux forum post yet, if we get a fix for it, I can?)
Anyone got a solution to get the rotation to work?
My issue seems to be that this doesnāt get defined:
{{ (states(helper_last_controller_event) | from_json).a if
helper_last_controller_event is not none and
(states(helper_last_controller_event) | regex_match("^\{((\"a\":
\".*\"|\"t\": \d+\.\d+)(, )?){2}\}$")) else "" }}
Hi - It may be worth raising a issue here if you are using the new repo: GitHub - lsismeiro/awesome-ha-blueprints: A curated collection of automation blueprints for Home Assistant.
The only other issue we have raised right now is that the spin will not stop - rather than it not working before.
Thanks
I also see your trigger_action is rotate_left. This does not match the mapped action value in the blueprint which is brightness_move_down. I manually changed the action value for rotation in the blueprint to the values reported by the device. Started working with these changes.
