I recently came into possession of a osram 4 button remote. ( SYLVANIA LIGHTIFY ZigBee 4 Button (8 Function) Switch, Works with OSRAM LIGHTIFY Gateway and Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant Voice Control - Amazon.com ) It connects over zigbee and openhab will find it but it does not actually have a…

The openHAB ZigBee binding, in principle, supports remotes, but (unlike for most other ZigBee devices) each remote model needs to be added explicitly in the binding. “Adding” includes two things: Adding a thing type here . The thing type basically maps the ZigBee commands emitted by the device on …

So if the Sylvania one uses the same commands it may be possible to support it if a modified xml can be created with the proper vendor and model id? If this is the case what would be needed from my end? Logs and attributes? Model num? I’m out of my house right now but can get those this afternoon if…

I think we should first understand what the device is sending. My preference is not to add XML files to configure devices if it can be avoided since this is a maintenance nightmare. I recently found we’d done this for the Hue remote, and it is totally unnecessary and causes a bunch of issues since …

Are you in Europe? Because I have two in a box somewhere I could send you. They are the Osram version. Edit: just saw it says United Kingdom in you profile @chris if you send me a postage adress as a pm I can send one to you. Best regards Johannes

Just in case that this piece of information avoids additional work: For the Osram version (at least for that version of the Osram remote already supported by the ZigBee binding), the thing type XML for the Osram version contains the information about which commands are sent by the remote when one p…

Here is the attributes for the Sylvania model I have. model number printed on case : E21265 IC: 22089-LDV74099 FCC ID : 2AJRH-LDV74099 [atrtrib%204b] [desc]

Im sending one of mine out to Chris next week. So he will have a look himself to get it integrated. Best regards Johannes

Just to report As of the latest release (2.5m4) i can reliably get button 1 to turn its switch to the on state from off and button 3 to the off state from on. The reverse is not true and no other button seems to do anything. Also everthing now shows as a level control and has to be set as a switch…

It’s going to be worked on soon by @chris as he now has one of its own :slightly_smiling_face:

Can someone point me at some instructions for this? From my initial look at this, it will take a little bit of work to add support - before I do too much I want to try and understand the device so finding the instructions would be useful, but I’ve not managed to find a set…

I can send you a gateway but it has a German plug. It’s in a box somewhere.
