I have recently received a zigbee-compatible IKEA Tradfri wireless dimmer switch (004.684.32), which can report:
- ON click
- OFF click
- Brightness up hold (ON long press)
- Brightness down hold (OFF long press)
- Brightness stop (ON or OFF long press release)
Prerequisites
- Ensure the openHAB MQTT binding is installed (V2, not V1)
- My Mosquitto MQTT broker is setup as per default.
- Pair the device with zigbee2mqtt as described here.
- Ensure that you are able to pair devices by setting
permit_jointotruein configuration.yaml (usually in /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data)
- Ensure that you are able to pair devices by setting
- Once paired, adjust the zigbee2mqtt configuration.yaml (usually in /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data) to:
- Give the paired device a friendly name
- Turn on the experimental attribute output, which means zigbee2mqtt will send plain strings, rather than JSON strings.
Here is my configuration.yaml - your device ID is likely to be different. I have given my device the friendly name swDimmer:
homeassistant: false
permit_join: true

base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
server: 'mqtt://localhost'

I have a separate file which just contains the bridge Thing to my Mosquitto MQTT broker:
