🔁 ZHA, deCONZ, Zigbee2MQTT - IKEA E2001/E2002 STYRBAR Remote control Universal blueprint (Redux)

Hi both.

Well that’s not ideal(!)
Could you check the input helper and see what events are coming through?
If you have the history, maybe we could compare the messages from before the upgrade?

Thanks for the quick reply. After further research, sounds like a Z2MQTT issue that will be resolved in the next stable update.

IKEA Remotes (Tradfri 5 button E1524/E1810 and Styrbar) lost arrow left and right hold actions.

problem

### What happened? Don't know if it has been reported before, but didn't find a…nything related. IKEA Remotes (Tradfri 5 button E1524/E1810 and Styrbar 4 button) lost arrow left and right hold actions. Instead they show "None" when holding. Don't want to mention how many automations it broke for me. ### What did you expect to happen? To work normally as it did before for a very long time. ### How to reproduce it (minimal and precise) Just use arrow_left_hold and arrow_right_hold actions. ### Zigbee2MQTT version 1.37.0-1 ### Adapter firmware version 20221226 ### Adapter Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Dongle Plus ### Setup HAOS ### Debug log _No response_

Phew! That’s good news

I have these two entries in my logbook, which is probably the best I can conjure up at the moment.

After firmware update:
fenjas_remote_last_controller_event changed to {"a":"brightness_move_down","t":1717842132.865108} triggered by automation Controller - Fenjas loftlys remote triggered by event 'state_changed'

Before firmware update:
fenjas_remote_last_controller_event changed to {"a":"off","t":1717779706.343913} triggered by automation Controller - Fenjas loftlys remote triggered by event 'state_changed'

So it seems to me that Z2MQTT thinks a button_down_short action is a button_down_long action instead.

I have the same issue. Has the problem been resolved now?

bmk · July 3, 2024, 1:28pm

Updated z2m to 1.39.01 and was able to bind again , and everything worked again…firmware 1.0.024 and 2.4.11 haven’t been able to update to latest 2.4.15.

Hi all.

A new version of the Light Hook has been released.
It adds a new feature.

Colour Temperature Clamping by botastic (Michi Hegel) · GitHub

In its current version the light hook allows the color temperature to be changed to values that are not support by the light bulbs. Reaching values far outside this range will require the user to press the opposite button, potentially overshooting in the other direction.

I added a clamping mechanism similar to the brightness minimum and maximum. Additionally, I added a feature toggle that is deactivated by default, in order to prevent any breaking changes.

It has been tested by them and myself with no issues.

Enjoy and thanks to Botastic for the contribution

joe.cole1 · July 14, 2024, 10:22am

Fixed for me!

Now long press up/down doesn’t work. Still troubleshooting why.

remsta · August 2, 2024, 8:44pm

I have successfully installed the Blueprint and Light Hook which I connected to a Helper Group containing my 6 Table lights. Everything works except for the dimming. When I hold Dim down or up it just dims the lights all the way down until they turn off, even if I let go of the button. Or it dims them all the way back up.

Any ideas?

koffer08 · August 2, 2024, 11:56pm

This was happening to me until I changed from epmatt to lsismeiro epmatt no longer supports.

remsta · August 4, 2024, 1:19pm

Thank you, I checked it but it says it is no longer supported

LewisSpring · August 4, 2024, 3:05pm

I think you made an issue on the Github, we can continue there.

AixHA · August 13, 2024, 8:25pm

I would like to give two styrbars the exact same automation. Is ist possible to select two or more styrbars to mirror their controll?

LewisSpring · August 13, 2024, 8:57pm

Hello and Welcome.

Maybe you could create a template input helper that takes the input from either?
I’m not sure how that would effect the “Controller Device” if you are using ZHA/deCONZ.
Otherwise, best i’ve got is to duplicate the automation.

Analogworm · August 22, 2024, 10:56am

Hi @LewisSpring,

For some reason doublepress buttons stopped working. And for the life of me, I have no clue how to troubleshoot. I played a bit with delays, didn’t seem to do much difference.
The things that have changed somewhere around that it stopped working is some updates of HA and Z2M. Also I changed from Eszp to Ember driver.

In the traces, the second press gets a ‘false’ result. So it is registered… just doesn’t do anything anymore.

Could you help me troubleshoot? What would you like me to share?

Thanks

Hi
Please confirm you are using the latest blueprint from GitHub - lsismeiro/awesome-ha-blueprints: A curated collection of automation blueprints for Home Assistant.

This is what resolved it for Z2M previously: 🔁 ZHA, deCONZ, Zigbee2MQTT - IKEA E2001/E2002 STYRBAR Remote control Universal blueprint (Redux) - #10 by bmk

Routout · September 15, 2024, 1:48pm

Should this work as a dimmer with a long press? I cannot get it working. It dims only one step and thats it. For the same button is also registered toggle light command. Enabling loop doesn’t make it any better.

LewisSpring · September 16, 2024, 8:08am

Grab the Light Hook automation, it’s designed alongside the Controller automation and provide dimming and such.
Hope that helps

# Blueprint metadata
blueprint:
  name: Hook - Light
  description: |
    # Hook - Light

    Hook automation which allows to control a light. Supports brightness and color control both for white temperature and rgb lights. Features may vary depending on the selected Controller.

    An automation created with this blueprint must be linked to a [Controller](https://epmatt.github.io/awesome-ha-blueprints/blueprints/controllers) automation.
    Controllers are blueprints which allow to easily integrate a wide range of controllers (wall switches, remotes, dimmers, etc.) and use them to run a set of actions when interacting with them.
    They expose an abstract interface used by Hooks to create controller-based automations.

    A list of controllers supported by this hook is available [here](https://epmatt.github.io/awesome-ha-blueprints/docs/blueprints/hooks/light#supported-controllers).

    📕 Full documentation regarding this blueprint is available [here](https://epmatt.github.io/awesome-ha-blueprints/docs/blueprints/hooks/light).

Hey, thank you for the hook. The only problem is that if I long press up or down for about 1 second and then let go the light continues to increase/decrease brightness until it is fully on/off.
What am I doing wrong?

And what is the technical explanation for the automation not supporting continuous dimming? If I add an action to “Down button long press” to step brightness by -10% and enable “(Optional) Down button long press - loop until release” in the automation this should work, shouldn’t it?

LewisSpring · November 10, 2024, 12:26am

You can do dimming in the Remote blueprint - I have done it before by adding a small delay after the dim action but the Hook is preferred.

Make sure your Remote blueprint does not have actions that conflict with the Light Hook. And make sure you are using the latest lsismeiro version as well as this is a bug that was fixed previously.

Welcome and hope that helps.
