The family is growing! Added support for TRADFRI on/off and TRADFRI 5-button! Should work with modern firmware versions too! (24.x)
I think I have enough buttons for a while…
Stock drivers already supported TRADFRI so, why?
- Labels, I never remember what is button2 or button5 in the stock profile.
- Custom features like multi-tap or toggled up on release.
- Compatibility with modern 24.x firmwares released in 2023. At least in theory… it uses the mandatory device bindings of new versions, tested to work in the old ones, and checks the firmware version to apply the correct battery readings. The stock one would report double the battery in new firmwares and, if it works like in other new models, buttons might not register events.
Users with working stock TRADFRI drivers
- Just switch the driver, no need to pair again. I preserved the button IDs of the stock drivers so your automations / actions don’t notice any difference.
Users with non-working new versions
- Delete the device, uninstall any custom driver handling the device, install this one, touch wood, add the device. Let me know if it works because it’s not really tested with new Tradfri versions
They don’t sell them anymore, SmartThings cannot update the firmware and I don’t have Zigbee sticks or IKEA hubs to update them.
Will take a few hours to auto-update as usual.
