This is a fork of @frenck’s work found here. The functionality should be exactly the same, except we’re just using the action attribute of a sensor created by Zigbee2MQTT.
In my example, my IKEA 5 button remote is called Office Remote. When you load the blueprint, select the sensor related to your remote. Mine’s called sensor.office_remote_action.
I have the “Home Assistant legacy entity attributes” setting checked in Zigbee2MQTT, or in the yaml configuration (see link for yaml).
A quote from the original:
It was specially created for use with (any) light(s). As the basic light controls are already mapped in this blueprint.
The middle “on” button, toggle the lights on/off to the last set brightness (unless the force brightness is toggled on in the blueprint). Dim up/down buttons will change the brightness smoothly and can be pressed and hold until the brightness is satisfactory.
The “left” and “right” buttons can be assigned to a short and long button press action. This allows you to assign, e.g., a scene or anything else.
Blueprint
Import the blueprint by using the forum topic URL! Or use the button.
blueprint:
name: Z2M - IKEA five button remote for lights and actions
description: |
Control lights with an IKEA five button remote (the round ones).
The middle "on" button, toggle the lights on/off to the last set brightness
(unless the force brightness is toggled on in the blueprint).
Dim up/down buttons will change the brightness smoothly and can be pressed
and hold until the brightness is satisfactory.
The "left" and "right" buttons can be assigned to a short and long button
press action. This allows you to assign, e.g., a scene or anything else.
