Hi there. I’ve used this guide to pair a IKEA Trådfri 5 button remote control. Unfortunately without luck.
ST can recognize the remote as a THING as it should. I managed to complete all steps in the guide (with ST v2 hub).
Anyone tried something similar or have a clue about what could go wrong?
Two completely different devices. It probably needs a custom device handler just for that device. Start a new thread with that device name in the title and I’m sure there will be people who will be glad to help you with it.
Thanks. I will do 
i’ve got this device type working with one of these switches - however doe sit work with two? I’ve set up a second and done the virtual switch to actual switch but only my original switch works.
Does anyone know if this device reports battery?
I have one that I have been using for a long time and have not replaced the battery.
The device type does not have battery status.
Does anyone know if the physical device reports battery status?
annoying, isn’t it. $50 bucks for a device that does not report status. The only convenient way I have to monitor, is the walk-test and/or smart-app “Simple Device Viewer”
No batrery status on mine
It seems no one is running more than one of these.
have been mucking around more and cannot get a second one going - which seems odd. any advice would be appreciated.
joel,
I received 2 of these switches yesterday. Both are set up and activating 3 sets of different lights. I set each one up using the exact steps outlined by JDRoberts except for their names and the fact that SmartThings found the device as a “Thing” in the initial add/search app window (on Android). I set them up one right after the other.
One runs 3 lights in my kitchen activating 3210-L’s and the other activates 3 Cree connected bulbs in my office. They act as 2 completely independent 3 button switches.
Thanks to everyone on the forum especially those taking the time to write custom handlers and these types of walk-thrus, and who take the time to troubleshoot all the devices we get to play with. You make this community an amazing place and we couldn’t do it without you.

I made some modifications from some shared code from the minimote.

}Hi JD, I was following your instructions to make this device work, but my dashboard, or page display when Im logged onto my hub doesnt have a link titled “my device types”. (instruction step # 14). am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your info!!
See the custom code FAQ: the terms have changed multiple times over the years:
They are now called “device handlers.” 
when I click on my device handlers, it says I have none. I can only see the custom handler if I follow location and then click on the various devices and handlers there. I can see the custom handler there but there is no options that I can see anything that says device to test with.
Will this work with the new SmartThings hub, ver 3?
it’s a custom device handler, not by samsung, so probably never.
So does that mean the custom device handler does Not work with the latest SmartThings hub?
At the Moment YES.
It should work with the new hub, but not with the new app. You would have to install the classic app to make it work.
A lot of people are using both apps for just this reason. But you do run the risk that once the classic app goes away, the device might no longer work.
