Simply pick out the remote and cover to use, and it will work.

Hi, Same here.

[r3mcos3]

I know what’s wrong, I will fix this tommorow night.

And update the blueprint.
Sorry for this

[dpmpc (Daniel)]

Thank you very much for this blueprint.

I’m using zigbee2mqtt as integration for my Zigbee devices. Thus, your blueprint doesn’t find my remote as input device. Would it be possible to remove the

 integration: zha

from the input device selector? Then it should also work with the zigbee2mqtt integration.

Thank you very much
Daniel

[r3mcos3]

This blueprint is for the zha integration, it’s in the title.
And only removing that part off the blueprint doesn’t make it work with zigbee2mqtt.

It looks like target: is missing from cover:

    cover:
      name: Roller Blind
      description: Roller blind to control
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: cover

[r3mcos3]

No that’s not it, I Don’t want that as a target

In the action part
There is a target specified, I think that should be entity_id

[r3mcos3]

@omolko @Lauri_Marjamaki @dennyreiter

I’ve updated the blueprint, and it is working! for me at least
remove my old blueprint and import it again.

let me know if it’s working now.

[omolko]

Hi
it works fine now. Just one thing we can’t use the long press button.
But thanks anyway

[r3mcos3]

Glad it’s working now!

The long press is not in this blueprint, my goal was to keep it simple.
for long press you can edit the blueprint yourself.

[omolko]

thanks I actually don’t know how to manage this.
the action in yaml is like this…

type: remote_button_long_release
subtype: close

[r3mcos3]

No, thats’s not it
there is more to do.

but if it’s not your cup off tea, You better don’t want to mess with it.

[Lauri_Marjamaki (Lauri)]

Now it is working, thank you!
Can you please add “Stop” on second press while cover is moving? Now it seems to be just “open” or “close”

[r3mcos3]

You can always modify the blueprint yourself,
with a hold either off the 2 buttons to do a stop call service

I’m trying to pair some ikea open/close remotes i have with ZHA, i hit search on ZHA and click the reset/pair button on the remote and nothing shows up… any ideas on how to pair this remote?

[r3mcos3]

You have to keep the device awake, in the pairing process push the button every 5 seconds or so.

[yoni (Yonathan Yuri Faber)]

I was able to pair one, all other seem to have a dead battery… heading to lowes now.

[yoni (Yonathan Yuri Faber)]

I have 2 remotes paired, but it seems like they are not changing the state when i press the buttons… any ideas?

[r3mcos3]

Remotes only push out events
