is there any special we need to get these to work? once i went to HA and added the switch to HA, all i saw was the battery. i never could get them to work so i tossed them in a bin. i would love to use these again.
Sam thing here
- Add https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-addons-development as “add-on” repository
- Install “Custom deps deployment” addon
- Update config like:
pypi:
- 'git+https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/'
apk: []
- Start the addon
so you need to do that in supervisor.

click add
install the custom deps deployment addon
edit the config
start the addon and then once it is done, check and restart HA
Four dollars less than the hue version it ripped off! Does the zigpy quirk handle mulipress and hold actions?
Is it possible to use this running in docker?
I was wondering the same thing.
I guess we can do the manual version
If you are instead using some custom python installation of Home Assistant then do this:
- Activate your python virtual env
- Update package with
pip
pip install zigpy==0.20.0
At the moment it just has hold actions on the brightness up/down buttons to increase the step from 10% to 25%.
Hold and double-click actions can be added to the On/Off buttons; I didn’t add any because I couldn’t think of any.
Don’t bother with these things, they eat batteries like nobodys business. I have three of them and they were each absolutely destroying a CR2032 in less than a day.
I’ve created a similar blueprint with complete control of every button option’s action. I also cross linked to this blueprint for a more out-of-the-box option that you created!
Unfortunately I’m finding that the Hue remote is worth the extra $4. The Hue remotes generates events instantly, and the buttons have a nice click to them. I find the buttons very soft on the Sengled remote, and the events take almost a second to register most of the time.
It’s not a bad remote, but the Hue one is nearly perfect.

After updating to the latest HA im getting this error with the 4 button switches:

could you point me in the right direction on this please?
It worked perfectly before.
Does this work with zigbee devices controlled with deconz?
Also a useful question, can this remote just control 4 scenes with button presses? i.e. not a light with dimming functions but just a simple 4 button controller?
This remote can be assigned to up to 8 (3 each for on and off button, one each for dimmer buttons) commands which can be programmed to control anything in HA.
I bought a few of these for a project and could never get them to work… Till now! After installing this blueprint I am happy to report they are working like a charm! Thank you very much for your work!
Just a heads up, if anyone is finding that you are going through batteries very rapidly with this switch using Home Assistant, you will need to remove and re-insert the batteries in every Sengled switch after a Home Assistant reboot to make the switches happy again, otherwise they drain their battery completely in less than a day.
