Hey there, this blueprint is for basic light control with the IKEA four button remote (the square ones), integrated via ZHA.
It extends @SwerveShot’s version (incomplete and hasn’t seen any recent activity) which is based on the work of @frenck with the five button version.
Pressing the up button will turn on the lights at the last set brightness (unless the force brightness is toggled on in the blueprint).
Pressing the down button will turn the lights off again.
Pressing and holding the up/down buttons will change the brightness smoothly and can be pressed and hold until the brightness is satisfactory.
The “left” and “right” buttons can be assigned to a short and long button press action. This allows you to assign, e.g., a scene or anything else. Use the left and right button events with care, as before the long press event is sent, the “on” event gets triggered.
Updates
2023-10-07: Changed the transition time on the brighter/darker hold actions to match the delay time.
2022-05-13: Reworked the blueprint to make the hold actions work again. Also added a slider to specify the time between the execution of brighter/darker actions.
This is what the Blueprint looks like from the UI:
