Tradfri remotes

AppDaemon app to use Tradfri remotes for ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT

This AppDaemon app allows you to use button presses from an Ikea Tradfri remote that has been paired to a ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT hub. This attempts to mimic the normal usage of the remotes as much as possible without actually binding the remote to the lights. This has the advantage of being able to be used with more than just Zigbee lights, and can potentially be used for any light in Home Assistant.

Note: as of this release color bulbs are supported but an attempt is made to match them to color temperature rather than colors. Only lights are supported, other devices are not.

Options:

Key Required Description Default Unit
lights True List of lights None List
sensor True if no ieee list of remote sensors for Zigbee2MQTT None list
device_ieee True if no sensors list of remote ieee for ZHA None list
prefer_rgb False Always use RGB for supported lights True Boolean
min_kelvin False Minimum light temperature in Kelvin 2200 Kelvin
max_kelvin False Maximum light temperature in Kelvin 5000 Kelvin
brightness_step False How much to change the light brightness with each step 25 bit
