ZHA - IKEA Styrbar (N2) - Light, Dimming & Color Temp (No Helpers needed!)

Blueprints Exchange
1

I created this blueprint because I wanted a clean, robust, and simple way to control my lights with the IKEA Styrbar (Remote Control N2) using ZHA.

Many existing blueprints are either outdated, broken, or require creating external “Helpers” just to change colors. This version works out-of-the-box and focuses on the essentials: Toggling, Dimming, and switching between Warm/Cold light.

Features:

🚀 Native ZHA: Works directly with Zigbee Home Automation.

💡 On/Off: Short press Up to turn on, Down to turn off.

🔅 Smooth Dimming: Hold Up/Down to dim brightness.

🌡️ Color Temperature:

    Left Arrow: Sets light to Warm White (e.g., 2200K).

    Right Arrow: Sets light to Cold White (e.g., 4000K).

⚙️ Configurable: You can choose your preferred Kelvin values for the Left/Right buttons directly in the automation settings. No code changes needed!

Requirements:

IKEA Styrbar Remote (Remote Control N2)

ZHA Integration

A light that supports dimming (and color temp for the arrows)

How to use:

Import this blueprint.

Create a new automation.

Select your Remote and your Light.

(Optional) Adjust the "Warm" and "Cold" Kelvin sliders to your taste.

Save and enjoy!

Exactly what I was looking for! Could you please upload the formatted yaml, or a link to it?
Thanks!

Hello Cako,
Welcome to the Home Assistant Forum!

Thanks for contributing to the community with a new Blueprint.

Two problems here.
First, you need to format your code so that it can be understood. How to format code or use the</> key in the post editor.

Second, I have a suggestion for you. Many people who are not familiar with directory structures will have problems installing this without the Home Assistant MY tools.

Adding a MY link for this Blueprint to your top post would help them a lot.

Here is the link to make that.
