Hello, is there already a device handler for the new Ikea a button shortcut button?

FWIW it amuses me that I’m using this (nominally) $10 button to “dumb down” a smart integration in my home. Basically it’s a bedside button to turn on (and preheat) my old-school Rancilio espresso machine in the kitchen as I’m getting out of bed. I had been using a variety of routines and automation…

Dead. Useless. I managed to get three days out of the original IKEA battery. Yesterday it showed 56% and last time in the log was at 22:40 (had only been pushed once yesterday, at 10:20 am).

Add to Tradfri Hub? So, because of this button we need to buy one more hub?

Changed the battery July 6, still works, still shows 89% with the generic button DTH.

Died on September 14, app still showing 89%. Exactly 10 weeks. Just got around to changing the battery, still shows 89%. :crossed_fingers: they solve this some day before I run out of batteries.
