Try leaving the device in the app, press button 4 times to reset and then add again. It shouldn’t rejoin as the same device and hopefully this time will configure correctly.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, no luck. I also tried something I read in another thread: changing the DTH to the IKEA motion sensor, waiting a couple of minutes, then changing it back. That also didn’t work. I’m beginning to wonder if the remote is somehow, unintentionally, paired (by zigbee bind) to another zigbee device in the house and that’s why the button presses aren’t showing up in smartthings but the device itself does. OK, I probably have no idea what I’m talking about!

I’m having the same issue with V2 hub: added the remote, I can see battery percentage but the buttons don’t register any events or trigger any actions.

I’ve tried changing the type:

  • Placeholder (default)
  • Ikea remote
  • Ikea Tradfri remote (from a linked post)

None of them register any buttons.

I’ve also tried repairing it a few times.

Have you tried with Edge drivers?

No. How do I install those?

Hi @Ash_Zade are you on the hub beta, if so it may be due to the latest beta firmware release.

I am seeing exactly the same, the device registers and shows connected but no button presses are registered.

I have 5 ikea dimmers, 1 Ikea remote (5 button) and 1 ikea remote (4 button)
The later 2 work fine after removing and adding again but the dimmers will not work.

The dimmers are all the 1st edition so maybe something to do with an older zigbee version.

Hello,

I don’t think I’m on the beta. I’ve never opted into a beta program. I appreciate all the help btw.

Hi,
Sorry for late reply

I send you the tutorial to join managed Edge Device Drivers: Preview | SmartThings-managed Edge Device Drivers

After joining edge drivers program you should enroll the edge drivers that you pretend.
For example: (NEW RELEASE) Version 5 of the Edge Beta Driver: Zigbee Switch Mc
or
[ST Edge/Beta] Buttons and remotes Edge Driver (Aqara,IKEA,Tuya)

Finally, you must add the device again to smartthings and it will associate one of the edge drivers that you enrolled.
Inside the device you can change the driver if you have more than 1 that have compatibility with your device.

Please, keep in touch if you need any more help.
