Ikea Tradfri remote control in Home Assistant with zigbee2mqtt

In this short video I am showing how to integrate the Ikea Tradfri remote control into Home Assistant using zigbee2mqtt and some example automations to show you what can be controlled with the remote. The Ikea Tradfri remote control has 5 buttons and you can perform 13 actions using them in Home Assistant. The four outwards buttons can each have 3 different actions assigned by using click, hold and release. The middle one can only be used to toggle. You can use these actions in automations to make lights come on/off, dim them, change light temperature or like I did, run a scene at the press of a button. I control all my Christmas lights from this remote. The available actions are: brightness_up_click brightness_down_click brightness_up_hold brightness_up_release brightness_down_hold brightness_down_release arrow_right_click arrow_left_click arrow_right_hold arrow_right_release arrow_left_hold arrow_left_release toggle Example automation to turn on a switch using one of the buttons: alias: Tradfri turn ON aquarium lights with left click description: '' trigger: - entity_id: sensor.tradfri_remote_action platform: state to: arrow_left_click condition: [] action: - data: entity_id: switch.aquarium_lights_switch service: switch.turn_on You can create a similar automation to turn off the light using the "arrow_right_click". If you want to add an automation to dim up/down the lights, you could use the following: Brightness up button:...
