[BUG] IKEA Tradfri Remote E1810 "Hold/Release events" for < > are not recognized by deconz

[tnaumann71]

Bug report

IKEA Tradfri Remote E1810 "Hold/Release events" for < > are not recognized by deconz
When holding "<" or ">" the deconz_events
4001 → Hold <
4003 → Release <
5001 → Hold >
5003 → Release >
are not recognized. Therefore I can't switch the sources.

Description

Holding and releasing the "<" or ">" buttons leads only to 4002 or 5002 events. It doesnt matter how long I'm holding them.
Normal behaviour would be 4001/4003 and 5001/5003 events which will lead to source skipping.

Hi @tnaumann71,

This seems to be a problem of deCONZ, not ControllerX. I currently do not have this controller set up with deCONZ to help you out with it. However, I can say that Z2M does report hold and release actions for the firmware 1.2.223. Maybe there are some breaking changes for the new firmware version.

Hi' guys.
Just FYI
FW v.2.3.014 also reports hold and release action 'as usual' on Z2M

Ciao !

[htvekov]

Just checked.
FW 2.3.014 was a ZB 3.0 update.
So could be a breaking change in DeCONZ

Release Version: 1.10.4New features and changes in Accessories:

 Remote Control V-2.3.014.
Upgrade to ZB3.0.
 Signal Repeater V-2.2.005.
Max number of blinds per repeater was limited to 4. This limit is now enhanced to 10 blinds.

As you can see per reference I opened an Issue with deconz-rest-plugin.
I'll keep you updated.
Thanks for the quick response.

Cite: Just checked with mine, and it doesn't emit those events either. However, I've sniffed the traffic, and the device doesn't even send the "expected" commands, but just all the same. Therefore, it is related to the device (configuration) and not deconz itself.

Whaaat ???

Not correct !!
Believe me, I would have noticed!! 😉

Feel free to cut and forward my z2m log below showing that Ikea E1810 HW v1, with fw 2.3.014 indeed sends hold and release commands for all four direction buttons.

Ciao !

[tnaumann71]

Thanks Henning.
I will share your log with SwoopX.

[tnaumann71]

After factory reset and new pairing and holding the remote direct beside the ConBee II nothing changed.

Found and solved the issue.
During my test the battery went from 80 to 60% low. I renewed the battery and all events are now emitted.

Strange thing is that this happens with a battery level higher than 50%. Anyway...

Thanks for you support. I really appreciate that and your work.
Best regards, Torsten
