Zigbee2mqtt-ikea-styrbar-4-button-remote-e2001-e2002/ stuck after pairing

Hello everyone,

i managed to pair my ikea switch in zigbee2mqtt :slight_smile:
since in ZHA they did not pair correctly… (at least didnt show any buttons).

In zigbee2mqtt it shows up in the log if i click:

i.e.

info `MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/switch_white', payload 
'{"action":"arrow_left_click","battery":90,"linkquality":65,"update":{"state":"idle"},"update_available":false}'`

info `MQTT
 publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/switch_white', payload 
'{"action":"","battery":90,"linkquality":65,"update":{"state":"idle"},"update_available":false}'`

info `MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/switch_white/action', payload 'arrow_left_click'`

BUT: i dont know how to continue from here on?!
tried for some time now. Could please someone explain the next steps?

I was hoping to use the blueprint (Zigbee2MQTT - Ikea STYRBAR 4-button remote (E2001/E2002))

-here i set “Integration” as zigbee2mqtt.
-is there something to be done with “Controller Entity”?
What does mean: The action sensor of the controller to use for the automation"?
Since i can see nothing in the dropdown list, which makes any sense/nothing from the ikea switch.

What i would have expected is, that just have to set entity_id / friendly_name of my switch (btw. whats the difference in these two) and the actions i want to see, when pressing the button(s).

Everything else should be done by the blueprint ?

…Nobody?

Thanks a lot in advance

I think the Controller Entity requires the IP address of your MQTT broker.

Hi,

You could be all set. If you’re seeing MQTT messages in the Z2M log and you have Z2M all set up with an MQTT broker, you can start using MQTT triggers in your automations if you don’t want to go the blueprint route.
