Lightify 2 Button Dimmer Switch Model 73743

[mike.maxwell]

the lightify model 23743 is complete, and in the next build.
None of the Ikea controllers are done.
Both Keypads will be released (under one driver), as well as the Hue dimmer controller.

I'm getting this error adding the device...

Metadata Error: Capability 'Button' not found.

I just updated to 1.1.1.111 version of Hubitat, and the new Sylvania Dimmer Switch Button Controller works perfectly. Thanks for this device hander, it got me through the wait, but I am using the official DH now.

Metadata Error: Capability 'Button' not found.

Button is not HE capability.
You will need to delete whatever user driver is generating this error, then re join the device to use the HE driver.

@mike.maxwell any update on the keypad to the right? looking to get one of those hooked up to hubitat and run in parallel with my adt system for a while.

also been searching for it to buy … all of them seem to refer to the xfinity version of it. is that version compatible with HE?

thank you.

[mike.maxwell]

[bangali]

thank you. ran a search for security keypad … no wonder i didnt find it.

[bangali]

anyone know where to buy these centralite/xfinity keypads? only seem to be finding used ones.

thank you.

[mike.maxwell]

The centralite ones are sold at lowes

[bangali]

the only one i am finding online at lowes is the iris version. are these also centralite?

while i prefer the other one with the clear arm/disarm button worst case these will have to do if they are centralite.

[mike.maxwell]

Yeah, that's the one, both are made by centralite.
The the one on the right you would have to purchased used...

Hi!

I´m completely new here, got my HE 2 days ago, I live in sweden so I have a bunch of the Ikea stuff so I´m hoping tu use them in Hubitat offcoarse.
Did you get the Ikea rotating dimmer to work?
Is there any drivers for the Ikea switch? (little and square thingy)

[marktheknife]

Welcome, if you take a look in the documentation section of the site, you can see the list of officially supported devices.

https://docs.hubitat.com/index.php?title=List_of_Compatible_Devices

Additional devices may be supported by a driver shared by community developers, you may have to search around in the forum to find what you’re looking for. I don’t recall seeing that ikea dimmers have been integrated with hubitat by anyone, but I haven’t been looking all that closely in the case of that particular device.

[patsplat35]

I recently purchased one of these and I'm a Wink convert and new to Hubitat and I'm trying to figure out how to program this thing to dim a scene up and down.

What is the work flow I need to follow or the mindset involved?

The Rule Machine has lots of options I don't really understand.

Is there now a packaged more user friendly driver that's now available?

Thanks!

Advanced Button Controller (ABC)

For changelog, please scroll to the the bottom of this post. This is a port of my smartThings app. If you have used the ST version then this should be very familiar. Of course all the devices options listed have not been tested since they are not yet available with Hubitat. This app takes advantage of the new doubleTap events available for button controllers as well.

A driver tells Hubitat how to talk to the device, and it's already doing that (with all the features you need exposed), so that's not really what you need here. An app creates an automation, which is what you're looking for. Rule Machine is one, but the Advanced Button Controller app that was posted above as I was typing is another. You may find it easier to use, but Rule Machine isn't that bad if you create a new rule, choose "Button Device" as the trigger capability, and then automate away--that modifies the UI to bring back more or less the classic Button Controller app (but with a few more RM features for actions).

I wrote Dimmer Button Controller for myself to handle situations like these, though. RM and ABC are both great, but I didn't like needing to specify the same lights for every action/button when it's the same for all, so that's one of the issues I addressed there.

There are lots of options. Hopefully you find one that works!

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but brand new Hubitat user. What is the best device driver for the 2 button lightify switch?

[rjwgnr27_hub]

Hi, and welcome to Hubitat.

The driver for that device is the "Button Controller" device. I have several of these, and IIRC, the correct device is automatically chosen when adding the device. Otherwise, once added, you can manually choose the driver from the "Edit Device" page.

For future reference, there is the compatible device list at here, which is a good first place for this question.

Got it up and running. Thanks for the help.
