Ikea / tradfri shortcut button

aleksander.kobylak · December 7, 2020, 5:12pm

Anyone tried new ikea shortcut button?

Just come across these. Did you ever use them?

andutgv · March 4, 2021, 8:29am

I bought one and managed to pair it with the hub.

I've also tried to port this driver but it does not work.
(you have to replace physicalgraph with hubitat and Button with Pushable Button capability)

So does it fully work or not?

martin4 · March 9, 2021, 2:13pm

I got one of these Shotcut Buttons as well and I am stuck same place as andutgv.

parse(description) is never executed when I press the button.

martin4 · March 9, 2021, 2:17pm

No and I have even added some extra trace log.

martin4 · March 9, 2021, 2:41pm

Just guessing here, but since the Trådfri On/Off dimmer is not working either they probably share the same protocol, which is not supported by HE at this time (unfortunately)

You are probably right. I don't know about the Trådfri dimmer, but the Trådfri on/off switch apparently uses Touch Link and Zigbee broadcast which is not supported by Hubitat.

The shortcut button differs from the on/off switch, because it is paired to the hub and not directly to a bulb.

That gave me some hope. Enough to try one out anyway.

I think I got it working.

I had to rewrite the configure section of the driver a bit.
I'll try to contact the original author of the driver to see if I am allowed to release it.

I'll try to contact the original author of the driver to see if I am allowed to release it.

And so here we go. I am by no means an expert in HE drivers so there might be some nasty quirks.
A code review would be appreciated.

would this mean it might be possible to get the On/Off button to work as well?

I don't think it will. I haven't been able to pair the on/off button with the HE.

martin4 · March 10, 2021, 8:13pm

I managed to pair HE with a TRÅDFRI on/off switch. The only thing HE receives when the button is pressed is a cluster 0x0001 message. Which is a battery report accordingly to Zigbee specification.

TimMc · April 20, 2021, 10:30am

Hi @martin4 I've paired the shortcut button and changed the driver to the one you posted above but I'm not seeing any events come through to the hub or anything in the logs. Any suggestions?

martin4 · April 20, 2021, 10:44am

If you install the driver after pairing, you might have to run the configuration manually.
There is a command button for that in the device page.

youra · July 13, 2021, 3:16pm

@martin4 - I've used your driver, which appears to work just fine - thank you ! I can pair the button, I can get events (push, which is for the moment at least all I want), but then after (maybe 12hrs), it stops working - no events come to the hub in the logs, nothing....
Remove device, rediscover, all works for ~12hrs again, then nothing.
Now I find the battery is flat as a pancake (it was new 24hrs ago!). I don't think this is a hub thing (nothing happening in the logs), and I've read that the battery life is not good, but this.....?

Should I give up on the hardware and switch to something else for my button pushing needs?

SplatMan · December 28, 2021, 3:37pm

Did you get to the bottom of this? A friend gave me a few of these to try out, but so far it feels like even IKEA isn't a big enough player for Hubitat to pick it up themselves ... :-S

youra · January 1, 2022, 4:38pm

No, afraid not - I've given up on this, wasn't a big use case for me in any case.... shame though.

PunchCardPgmr · April 4, 2022, 7:00am

Curious if this is what others get after pairing one of these. (EDIT: Nevermind, this is a pretty common fingerprint)

endpointId: 01
application: 21
softwareBuild: 2.3.015
inClusters: 0000,0001,0003,0009,0020,1000
outClusters: 0003,0004,0006,0008,0019,0102,1000
model: TRADFRI SHORTCUT Button
firmwareMT: 117C-11C6-23015631
manufacturer: IKEA of Sweden

Other than a battery level around 40% right out of the box...this is behaving nicely in the first hour with the above provided driver. We'll see over the next 24 hours !

EDIT: About seven hours later Battery Voltage reading 2.9 - 3.0 but % has been all over the map from 50% to now 8% about an hour later. Then back up to 11% three minutes later.

EDIT #2: 4/8 Thing was dead within two days. Changed drivers and was liking how it functioned, and especially reported, under the @birdslikewires driver. Add my experience to the list of lost hopes. Not sure it's worth going through the hoops to upgrade the firmware without conclusive evidence that this indeed resolves the battery burn.
