Mine still work, did you try re-pairing the device?
p.s. the quirk on my device is the same as yours
zhaquirks.ikea.fivebtnremotezha.IkeaTradfriRemote1
think the new zha update fixed it. cheers
Hey niro1987
I am interested to hear if you have solution for the IKEA N2 control? (as Mikael refers to).
thanks in advance
Partially: check out my GitHub, look for the STYRBAR files.
The problem is that the remote sends out the ‘on’ command together with the ‘hold’ command whenever you hold down on one of the arrow buttons. That makes the Custom Actions version of the script difficult.
Ho can you add a condition to one of the button’s actions, basically only turn a light on if a condition is satisfied. This templated doesn’t seem to allow this as all conditions specified are on a parallel level and not cascaded.
What you want, you can do in a script and then use one of the actions from this blueprint to fire the script.

I paired a new 5 button remote to HA, and I noticed that the Color Up and Color Down buttons don’t do anything in an automation created with this blueprint. I checked an older 5 button remote I already had paired, and they don’t do anything with that one either. I don’t know whether they were working before and when they may have stopped working.
I listened to zha_event when the buttons are pressed, and the events seem fine and are recognized each time. I’m seeing this in the logs for Color Up, for example:
{
"event_type": "zha_event",
"data": {
"device_ieee": "[deleted]",
"unique_id": "[deleted]",
"device_id": "[deleted]",
"endpoint_id": 1,
"cluster_id": 5,
"command": "press",
"args": [
256,
13,
0
]
},
"origin": "LOCAL",
"time_fired": "2022-05-24T00:49:11.732187+00:00",
"context": {
"id": "[deleted]",
"parent_id": null,
"user_id": null
}
}
But the action in the automation isn’t performed. What else can I check or do to figure out why it’s not working?
Try removing the device from the network an pair it again.
Hey thanks for all your blueprints! Can I somehow cycle through the light temperature?
Have a look at this blueprint

Right, found that one! Thanks again for these blueprints!!
hey there, awesome blueprints. thanks so much for taking the time to make these. i’ve got a quick question: how should i go about setting up a light group to change (or toggle through?) color temperatures using the Short Press - Color Up/Down Button? I specifically would like to be able to do this using the Custom Actions blueprint, because I’d like to be able to have the flexibility to be able to utilize short-press and long-press actions. Thank you!
done, thank you. you’ve done really good work here.
for everybody else that may be wondering how to combine the Custom Actions blueprint with something like the Warm Lights blueprint, try out the code here:

What this code does is basically give you the option to use the Left/Right arrow keys for custom actions AND the original Warm Lights (incl. smooth brightness controls)
the input fields look like this:
Thank you!
I’d tried other blueprints that were too complex for me to get working but this one just works! Thanks again.

Hello!
The up/down buttons seem to have stopped working for me. I see this in the log (but no light brightness increase/decrease)
TRADFRI 5 Button Remote Control B Step event was fired with parameters: {'step_mode': <StepMode.Down: 1>, 'step_size': 43, 'transition_time': 5, 'options_mask': <bitmap8: 0>, 'options_override': <bitmap8: 0>}
Any ideas?
I already tried removing and re-adding the device, but it did not help.
Thanks!
I’ll have a look.
Thanks, this works! I’m using it to control a pair of speakers. Dim Up/Down = Volume Up/Down. The step is too much though, is this choose-hack also applicable in my case?
(I wonder why you chose to call it color Up/Down… would be more logical with Right/Left?)
