Z2M + IKEA E1743 remote = light + rollershutters control

[kovaga (Konstantin)]

Not always having your phone with you can create certain inconveniences when controlling your smarthome. So I needed a cheap remote that can have certain tasks assigned to it.

Two button IKEA E1743 can transmit 5 codes: on, off, brightness up/down/stop - seems like a perfect combination to control a rollershutter and a light at a cost of €6.

}

mqtt.rules

rule "Remote01 control Bedroom"
when
   Item remote01_click received update
then
     switch triggeringItem.state.toString {
        case "on"               : { logInfo("Remote01", "ON")  Shelly1_04_Power.sendCommand("ON")  }
        case "off"              : { logInfo("Remote01", "OFF") Shelly1_04_Power.sendCommand("OFF") }
        case "brightness_up"    : { logInfo("Remote01", "UP")   relay3_rolladen.sendCommand("UP")   relay4_rolladen.sendCommand("UP")   }
        case "brightness_down"  : { logInfo("Remote01", "DOWN") relay3_rolladen.sendCommand("DOWN") relay4_rolladen.sendCommand("DOWN") }
        case "brightness_stop"  : { logInfo("Remote01", "STOP") relay3_rolladen.sendCommand("STOP") relay4_rolladen.sendCommand("STOP") }
        default                 :   logInfo("Remote01", "Error in command")
     }
end

So now a short press on “I” and “O” will turn ON and OFF the light. While a press and hold will move the roller shutters UP or DOWN and STOP on button release.
