ZHA - IKEA TRADFRI - 5 Button Remote - Warm White Lights

Hey, I had the same issue, do you use zha, z2m or another solution?
You could check the linked zha thread/fork from niro, I had a long talk with him to find the solution. Maybe that already helps, otherwise you could check what he needs to help from there.
Best regards

Is it possible to combine multiple lamps from ikea (warm white lights) with this blueprint?

9

Why not just use it twice?

Hey factorem,
you can use this Blueprint with multiple lights by setting up a light group.

Working with your blueprint. Still rather green with HA, but learning. I imported your blueprint and set up the automation. I am trying to get it to control a HUE colour bulb with his attached to HA through the Hue hub. So far the blueprint does not do anything, but with I go to the automations and look at the flow I can see on each branch the following error msg: Error: In ‘template’ condition: UndefinedError: ‘dict object’ has no attribute ‘event’

Unfortunately I am not quite sure what this means. Any nudge in the right direction would be more helpful. Also pretty sure I have the Tradfri linked up via a SONOFF Zigbee dongle and ZHA…

I think you’ve said it already, you’re trying to control a color bulb with the Warm White blueprint. Try the color version instead.

Sorry did not say in the post. I have tried both, and getting:

conditions/0

From the : ZHA - IKEA TRADFRI - 5 Button Remote - Color Lights, Version.

Sorry for the omission before. Is there a log or something that will tell me more about what it is upto?

14

What type of remote did you select and how is it connected to HA?

15

HA selected a IKEA of Sweden TRADFRI remote control. I was done by putting the SONOFF dongle into pairing mode then getting the remote to pair up. Did not select anything really. Is there any detailed info I can give you that would help? I did much the same process for the Tradfri button on a Hue white bulb and it work flawlessly. This seems like it is SO SO close :slight_smile:

Something just struck me, ouch, could the problem be the remote is connected over the SONOFF dongle, but the bulb is connected over the hue bridge? I can get rid of the hue bridge if that makes things simpler…

16

For the sake of it, try removing the blueprint file and import it again.

17

Tried the delete, import, create automation. Still have the error msg in the automation. Is it possibple I as missing some other code? This is running on a brand new clean install of HA

18

Let’s continue this in a PM.

Hi Niro
Thank you very much for the blueprint, it has been an amazing help.
It works well, but pressing the down button continuously will turn off the light, is there a way to stop this and have the brightness stop at 1

Thank you

Thanks for that, works much better than the Controller and Hook solution for the colored Ikea bulbs. Now finally it works in both kids rooms as it should (I updated in the past one of the remotes and lost the ability to switch colors with zmqtt2zigbee, now with ZHA and this script everything is finally as it should).

Hey Niro
Love your blueprints! I have been using them for ages untill I moved from ZHA to Z2MQTT. Those blueprints dont seem to exist through. Did you have them anywhere?

I think I removed this de a while ago when some update made them unusable. Why are you moving to Z2MQTT, you should stick with ZHA.

23

Couldn’t get the color temp change to work. It looks like the reason being is that the hard coded max and min values doesn’t correspond to the values for my light bulbs.

Changing from 153 to state_attr(var_light, \"min_mireds\") and from 500 to state_attr(var_light, \"max_mireds\") solved the issue.

Hello Niels,
Found your Ikea Styrbar (4 button Color Lamp) script at Github and they are just great! Question though:
-Is it possible to have the lamp to turn on to its previous brightness level (from were it was turned off)?

25

That shouldn’t be that hard. Buy me a Coffee and I’ll have a look :wink:

But seriously though, I think you’re referring to homeassistant-config/blueprints/automation/niro1987/zha_ikea_tradfri_styrbar_color.yaml at 6cffc8fc625a1838091c62754ff203d1e4da60b5 · niro1987/homeassistant-config · GitHub ?
All you have to do is remove lines 74-77

Hi Niels,
That’s the correct blueprint.
Before I posted you, I tried little of tampering with the values row 74 and even leaving the value empty by having just "brightness: ". The lamp started up at 20% brightness regardless of any value.
The reset back to warm white ~2800K when turning the lamp on is great though, like a color reset back to normal. So that part should not be deleted. :slight_smile:
