IKEA Zigbee Sound Controller

I'm a bit confused, Release 2.1.7 added a driver for the 'Ikea Zigbee Sound Controller' but it has only 3 buttons whereas the driver from @cybrmage .

Which driver should be used and if the 3 button driver is used, what do the 3 buttons correspond to?

Turn right, turn left, and press.

Use whichever you want. I’m using the community driver personally.

I haven't had much luck with these, they seem to get disconnected a lot and drain down batteries too quickly.

Yeah that seems to be what's happened to mine too.

I picked up a kit, hoping to not use the zigbee-ish ... base station thing? No luck getting it to work with Hubitat. It works flawlessly with the base station. Sucks to have 2 zigbee networks in such close proximity. I'm concerned about interference, but it... seems... to be OK so far?

Yeah, stick with the IKEA gateway and forget it's there! I just bought another Tradfri, it just doesn't work right with HE.

today I install a second hub to balance load I got over 150 devices on my original hub , the sound controller look there were "working" on the old hub move it to the new one and I get them to pair but nothing happen on status change try to move it back to the old hub and got nothing, I try both drivers.
is someone still got this buttons "working" I know is have a lot of issues. should I stop being atractive to this devices? they are really cheap and nice looking

I’m not having the same problems. Two controllers now both have worked. Using this driver, not the built in.

They do mess up every so often, but just popping the battery fixes it

well don't delete them because for some strange reason (look like is the norm on this ikea devices) there are not working anymore on my new or old hub.

Sounds like a similar problem to what I had after replacing battery. This is what I had to do to fix it. (I'm now receiving duplicate events though... haven't had a chance to try & fix that yet).

pff this device is just not working for me. I tried the fixes here. It does connect, but doest work. Why can it not just be plug and play... It did work befor, but the battery went dead within 2 weeks. Now i have tried to readd it ( tbh i did remove the device completely after it didnt work when the battery was replaced). I used the 2 tabs solution , pressing configure when i just added it, but now its not doing anything at all anymore (no signals in the log).
Is there a simple fix for this?
