ZHA - IKEA Symfonisk sound controller for media (the spinny one)

liminal · February 3, 2022, 10:26am

Hey guys,

I was thinking of picking one of these up. Does anyone have it controlling Spotify volume though Alexa?

Does it work ok?

Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for this blueprint, all funktions are fine and working, but i get this error message in the log.

Can anyone help me finding the error?

Continuously spinning the wheel only results in on incremental change in volume. Is there any way to change this, so that continuously spinning the wheel will result in a continuous increase of the volume?

Thanks @sparkydave ! Somewhat more complicated to set up, but it works well for me.

I would still be interested if the Symfonisk Sound Controller for media blueprint can be improved so that one can continuously increase/decrease the volume.

Hi, If I have deCONZ, can I use this one? do I need a different version/code. I tried the import, but that doesnt find my remote

seamus65 · February 18, 2022, 7:07pm

You would need to modify the blueprint to the deconz integration and check the rest of the code based on what you see in your deconz_events

Hi Thomas

I have used your blueprint with a lot of pleasure over the last year, but sadly core-2022.4.x partly broke this blueprint. i.e. button presses are not recognized anymore. Something changed in ZHA adding some arguments to the events. The args variable now evaluates to something like:
args: '[<StepMode.Up: 0>, 1, 0, <bitmap8.0: 0>, <bitmap8.0: 0>]'.
in stead of:
args: '[0, 1, 0]'
This issue is related: ZHA ikea tradfri button up/down buttons service calls are not recognized anymore · Issue #69375 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

It would be great to have an official fix for that. I temporary replaced the four args checks by a param attribute check (step_mode or move_mode) in the conditions part. That fixed it for me:

  - conditions:
    - '{{ command == ''step'' }}'
    - '{{ cluster_id == 8 }}'
    - '{{ endpoint_id == 1 }}'
    - '{{ trigger.event.data.params.step_mode == 0 }}'
#    - '{{ args == [0, 1, 0] }}'
    sequence: !input 'double_press'
  - conditions:
    - '{{ command == ''step'' }}'
    - '{{ cluster_id == 8 }}'
    - '{{ endpoint_id == 1 }}'
    - '{{ trigger.event.data.params.step_mode == 1 }}'
#    - '{{ args == [1, 1, 0] }}'
    sequence: !input 'triple_press'
  - conditions:
    - '{{ command == ''move'' }}'
    - '{{ cluster_id == 8 }}'
    - '{{ endpoint_id == 1 }}'
    - '{{ trigger.event.data.params.move_mode == 0}}'
#    - '{{ args == [0, 195] }}'
    sequence:
    - service: media_player.volume_up
      target: !input 'media_player'
    - delay: 1
  - conditions:
    - '{{ command == ''move'' }}'
    - '{{ cluster_id == 8 }}'
    - '{{ endpoint_id == 1 }}'
    - '{{ trigger.event.data.params.move_mode == 1 }}'
#    - '{{ args == [1, 195] }}'

I can’t find my controller to test it at the minute, but it sounds like you have it working for now.

erkr · April 15, 2022, 12:05pm

Yep, works perfect again

sparkydave · April 17, 2022, 5:36am

Will @erkr 's edit be included as an update to the ‘official’ Blueprint?

seamus65 · April 17, 2022, 6:01am

You do realise that blueprints are created by community members, so not official?

Anyone is free to create and modify blueprints as they need, and they are shared to benefit the rest of the community.

sparkydave · April 17, 2022, 8:43am

Thats EXACTLY why i put ‘official’ in quotes…

But other users can’t edit the post on here to include the changes so anyone that tries to add the blueprint via the URL will get a Blueprint that doesn’t work until YOU edit the original post.

erkr · April 18, 2022, 4:33pm

Hi Thomas
@seamus65: As you are the original author, deserving the credits, and with a lot referenced links towards your blueprint; I thought it makes sense you would publish an update with this small fix, instead of me published just another copy. The more copies, the harder to find a working one
Regards
Eric

seamus65 · April 18, 2022, 4:58pm

Eric,

I am just back from being away for a wedding, but I will get a look at updating this as soon as I can.

Thank you

And sorry Dave for being short with you. A lot going on at the minute.

erkr · April 19, 2022, 3:03pm

Great, thx!

seamus65 · April 21, 2022, 7:48am

Updated as per your modifications as that is a good way of doing it.

Sorry for the delay.

ZHA was messing up these attributes, and now It’s broken again

I made a more radical rewrite of this nice blueprint using the symfonisk device events instead of the raw ZHA events. This version is compatible with the configuration of the original blueprint:

blueprint:
  name: ZHA - IKEA Symfonisk sound controller for media
  description: 'Control media with an IKEA Symfonisk sound controller (the spinny
    ones).

    Single press will toggle Play/Pause on your selected media player.

    You can set functions for double press and triple press.

    Rotating left/right will change the volume smoothly of the selected media player,
    if that function is possible.'
  domain: automation

    remote:
      name: Remote

          model: SYMFONISK Sound Controller
    media_player:
      name: Media Player
      description: The media player to control
      selector:

      selector:
        action: {}
    triple_press:
      name: Triple press
      description: Action to run on triple press
      default: []
      selector:
        action: {}

    - delay: 1

Note1: For me it only works when selecting a media player entity not as a device
Note2: Change the delay (is in seconds) if you want to adapt sensitivity for volume control (I’m using delay: 0.2)

Today I shared my own extended version via github gist:

zha-ikea-symfonisk-round-sound-controller.yaml

# Author Eric Kreuwels, Copyright 2022, publices under the free MIT license conditions
# This blueprint was inspired by:
#   https://community.home-assistant.io/t/zha-ikea-symfonisk-sound-controller-for-media-the-spinny-one/266130
#   This version requires to recreate your automations that are based on the version above (new options and therefor not compatible)
# Changes compared to the one that inspired me:
#   moved from raw ZHA events to ZHA Symfonisk Device events (raw event attributes changed to often to keep it working)
#   added configuration inputs for changing the volume delay and number of volume steps
#   added option to either pause (default) or mute for single press action
#   restricted the player selection to entities only

This file has been truncated. show original

This version is not compatible with the configuration settings of the blueprint on this page. So please recreate your automations. Differences:

added configuration input for adapting the volume delay
added configuration input for adapting the number of volume steps
added option to either pause (default) or mute for single press action
restricted the player selection to entities only

Eric, many thanks, much appreciated! This seems to be currently the only working blueprint for controlling a media player with the Symfonisk Sound Controller.

Just in case you need an additional challenge… It would be great if this blueprint could be improved to continously increase/decrease the volume the wheel is being rotated in the same direction

The Ikea sound controller blueprint which is part of the “Awesome HA Blueprints” supports this, but that blueprint is currently also broken due to the ZHA changes in core-2022.4.x
