Functionality is still the same. These 2 commands do not require the args. Others do require them for command identification.
I was debugging this over the weekend, and looks like args are needed. E.g. for Up and Down short button press the value that is different is the args, entity id / and cluster id are the.
There is a suggestion here to use params instead of args, I will try that over the weekend.
Keen to see if you can get this blueprint properly working as I use a lot of these remotes and now they aren’t working
I did not spend more time on this. I started playing around with a different blueprint for IKEA 5 button remote. That one does have this issue addressed.

I now have issues with the long-press not working. I use long-press to toggle a table lamp on/off but now long-press only change the color temperature on the main lamp.
When testing a bit more it seems like the short-press is also behaving a bit weird when it comes to color temperature. I can also see that the correct color temperature is not reported back to HA.
I created a v2 of this blueprint fixing the brightness problem. As soon as frenck updates the official one I will delete mine to avoid confusion.

Thanks for this! Question, since I haven’t done a great deal with Blueprints, if I update the Blueprint file with this one will the automations that use that Blueprint need to be deleted and re-coded or will they be dealt with automatically?
Just load the new blueprint, go to your existing automations created with the old blueprint, click the 3 dots on the right corner, select edit YAML and change the blueprint path to:
path: gmlupatelli/zha-ikea-five-button-remote-for-lights-v2.yaml

Works great, thank you!!
I finally got around to trying this but when I hit save after changing the blueprint path I get an error:
Message malformed: Missing input light
Please share the yaml version of your configuration (open your automation, click on the 3 dots on the top corner and select edit in yaml).
While you are there, check if you have a light entity selected, if yes try a different one. I always select a entity so I don’t know if selecting the device or area will work.
This is the old blueprint version:

use_blueprint:

button_left_long:
- type: toggle
device_id: c3c0011718d711eb914c4961cc5ee0b3
entity_id: light.moon_lamp

So I do have a couple of light entities selected for the various button options.
I don’t know the wormie_dk version of the blueprint it has a pretty different yaml configuration. I always used one from frenck, and this is actual configuration that is working right now:
alias: Master Bedroom - Lamp Controller
description: ''
use_blueprint:
path: gmlupatelli/zha-ikea-five-button-remote-for-lights-v2.yaml
input:
remote: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-removed
light:
entity_id: light.master_bedroom_lamp
force_brightness: true
button_left_short:
- type: toggle
device_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-removed
entity_id: light.master_bedroom_bedside_lamp_left
domain: light
button_right_short:
- type: toggle
device_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-removed
entity_id: light.master_bedroom_bedside_lamp_right
domain: light
Try remaking the automation using this blueprint:
It is a temporary fork from frenk original blueprint fixing the brightness issue.
I dont get why my bulb won’t show up when I’m trying to select “Chose device” I light sections… I have added 1x Ikea Remote and 1x Ikea Bulb via ZHA and I’m able to toggle light on/off via simple automation but for some reason my bulb not showing up as light source… Any idea?
Edit: It turned out I had an old light bulb (2016-2017) Updating the fw and adding the light bulb again fixed the problem.
2022.08.01 has the following Problem:
WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant. helpers.template] Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'param1' when rendering '{{ trigger.event.data.params.param1 }}'
Do you have any suggestions?
No idea. Let me do some tests here. I am not using it anymore as I am waiting for a new ZigBee coordinator because of battery issues
Fixed. Just delete the blueprint and import it back again the warning should be gone.
Hi, first of all thanks for the blueprint.
I noticed that the buttons for changing the brightness aren’t working anymore. This is the log entry for the remote device:
IKEA Remote Step With On Off event was fired with parameters: {'step_mode': 0, 'step_size': 43, 'transition_time': 5}
The remote automation looks like this:
alias: Remote Lounge
description: ""
use_blueprint:
path: frenck/zha-ikea-five-button-remote-for-lights.yaml
input:
remote: abcdef
button_left_short:
- service: script.lounge_scene_toggle
data: {}
button_right_short:
- service: script.lounge_scene_toggle
data: {}
light:

Any idea where to look for more information? HA Core Log shows nothing.

Did any of you ever fix the left & right button not working on ikea 5 button remote (not firing any ZHA_Event). I enabled OTA udates and have now run into the same issue.
I think I should be able to force a firmware downgrade if I can find the previous firmware file - but wondered if there is a better way.

hi, thanks for putting my mind at rest a little. i recently got a ikea 5 button remote and found that the left / right buttons do not work, no event showing at all for the left / right buttons. i thought maybe my remote was faulty but reading your post i guess it is a known issue for this remote that i hope will be addressed in an update soon.
