🎮 ZHA, deCONZ, Zigbee2MQTT - IKEA E2001/E2002 STYRBAR Remote control Universal blueprint - all actions + double click events - control lights, media players and more with Hooks

Both are correct. I choosed them from the dropdown menu.
If I do a single automation without the blueprint it works.

Have you set up the Helper? (image
)

Yes

I’m not sure then I’m afraid! Sorry!
I use ZHA, not DeCONZ, so I wonder if there’s an oddity specifically for that.

Hello everyone,

I’m experimenting a bit with this blueprint.
However, I have a question: Is it possible that the lamp also dims and becomes brighter when a button is pressed for a long time;
I’ve tried everything, but it won’t work!!
If yes, how do I do this?

Thanks for every response

Hi, maybe the problem is the original blueprint that has some bugs.

Hello everyone,

Works beautifully, Thank you very much for this blueprint!! :ok_hand: :ok_hand: :+1: :+1:

However, I have a question, could the double click of the up and down button not work? Or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks for every comment!!

Sorry,
But I don’t see any groups that I can select, only separate lamps!!

What am I doing wrong or am I completely wrong?

Thank you for your response.

There are a couple of different ways of setting up groups - Zigbee groups, which you create through your ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT or deCONZ interface, or Home Assistant groups which you set up in the Helpers panel.

I would recommend Zigbee groups, as they are more responsive. Zigbee groups made up of lights will show up as a separate light entity, which you can control from this blueprint.

Thanks for your response, but never sees the group in the list!!

I see only a few lamps but no groups!!!

If you are using ZigBee groups they show up as light.group-name.

Don’t search for the term group unless you are using HA groups or included the word “group” in the name.

Thank you very much for your response. I’m fairly new here and experimenting with HA a lot. How do I create a zigbee group? And what is the difference between the groups behind the “groups” folder, the groups you can create yourself in HA and zigbee groups? Sorry but I can’t follow anymore!! :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

Thank you for your response;

Setting up ZigBee groups is done through ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT or deconz - you didn’t say which you use. For ZHA you go to Settings > Devices & Services, then locate the ZHA integration, click on Configure menu, and select Groups tab where you can then create new groups.

The main difference between the two, I think, is that ZigBee devices know they belong to a ZigBee Group, and will respond to any messages sent to that group, whereas with Home Assistant Groups separate messages are sent to each device in the group. This can lead to lights coming on at slightly different times - something I’ve heard as the popcorn effect.

I’m not sure if there are any downsides to ZigBee groups. Probably a bit harder to troubleshoot. In general I use ZigBee groups when I can.

Checking in here, and also can’t get double click for up/down working.The rest of the buttons work perfectly!

From what I see, the up/down button triggers don’t get repeated in ZHA, unlike the left/right buttons.

Hi there, please see these posts.

Thanks for the tips - I am indeed using the latest blueprint but just can’t double press to trigger on the Top and Bottom buttons. In the logbook they just register as only one press. The left and right double presses work perfectly.

Sorry for the obvious question: Is the toggle switch for double press turned on?

What Firmware version is your Styrbar? You can find it under the device via the Settings > Devices & Services > ZHA Integration → Devices > {Remote}.

I am running Firmware 0x00010024 with no issues (with the Double Press Down, at least.)
You might need to set up ZHA Firmware Updates to upgrade.

Also make sure your signal strengths are strong, and your Zigbee stick is separated from the host device (using USB extensions) and WiFi Access Points.

Thanks for the tip! The double press switch toggle is turned on. Signal strength is strong with no issues on double press on the left and right buttons.

I’m also running a later 2.4.5 firmware (which was manually installed, see here Ikea Styrbar Force OTA if on V1.0.024). The double press wasn’t working on 1.024 firmware either.

Try going to developer tools > events and in the bottom input box type “zha_event” then hit the start listening button.

Press the button once, make note of the data, do a double press and make note of the data.

Compare them. If they are equal then your remote might be at fault. If they are different then remote is OK and it’s most likely the blueprint :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing. Based on this, zha_event captures 2 successive clicks on the Left and Right buttons, but captures only 1 click on the Top and Down buttons, even when I clicked twice.

So not sure what’s at fault here - the remote, the quirk, or the blueprint…
