2 button Dimmer remote
Different animals…
The Styrbar is far more bigger, but looks better and uses AA or AAA batteries, I cannot remember exactly which one. You can even use it with IKEA’s rechargeable batteries. But it hasn’t got issue with the batteries like the dimmer.
In Finland Styrbar is for sale and cost only 8e! 
. But I’m not buying them to replace old ones before there is a Edge driver for it.
Is there already Edge driver for “old” IKEA dimmer switch?

What do you mean by old? White hockey puck like dimmer? Yes, there is a driver for that. Not for this newer two button dimmer.
No, not yet for these two. But I’m sure there will be one day. For Phillips Hue Dimmer Switch there is a driver which gives me hope for Ikea buttons to have drivers too.

I was struggling to join Stryrbar switch with mv V3 Hub. Anybody had similar problem?
I pressed paring button for 4 times, device light starts to blink…and than hub cant find the device.
Noob here. I’ve managed to create the DH (published it) and added the remote (Styrbar) to my ST hub (Aeotec V3). I was able to create a routine so that if I press button 1, one of my lights turns on. The problem is, I can’t create a routine to increase light intensity by pressing button 1. Is this a limitation of the light itself? Or is it the remote? Can you help me out?
The light in question is a G125 Filament (WizConnected - [Phillips]).
If you mean gradual increase in brightness the n it is limitations of SmartThings. Unfortunately. I don’t know if there ever will be driver for Ikea dimmers to work like that.
try super close to the hub

I’m sorry, what do you mean by trying super close to the hub?
The Styrbar is connected to the Hub already, and it appears on the app as well.
The only issue is that I can’t get it to function as a dimmer with long presses. Is there a way to make it work?
Sorry, meant to reply to the previous post as some suggest pairing from last than a metre away had greater chance of success
Currently gradual increase can be done using ABC Manager SmartApp.
This solution will go away with Groovy going away.
However there is another solution available, with Edge driver, currently available for some Zigbee lights, as this is Beta only.
Increase and decrease is added to lights
Thanks! I’m really new to all of this. I don’t really know what Groovy is nor Edge driver.
I mean, from what I’ve read, these have something to do with Device Handlers (which from my understanding is the “code” used to integrate some hardware devices to ST that are not officially supported(?)). But I really don’t know what all that means. With Groovy going away, does that mean that the DH i’m using for the Styrbar 4 button remote won’t work in the future? Also, as for the solution to the dimmer option you have suggested, should I then go with the beta option, or the Groovy?
Please be kind, as I’m trying my best to absorb all of this new knowledge.
Thanks!
Actually I didn’t know this. I thought lack of gradual dimming was SmartThings problem. It is good to know there is hope. My wife won’t understand why our dimmers won’t have that option. I’ve tried to explai but

ABC Manager was in use for many of those scene controllers (switches/dimmers), like Inovelli and Zooz brands. That’s is why we need replacement for that feature.
There is one Remote controller, that might have issue, as when SmartLightning goes away, it will become useful.
Sengled remote is integrated as Dimmer Switch, and it doesn’t have any button capabilities. To use it currently you need to use Mirror function from SmartLightning, for all remote’s functions. Otherwise…
I need to try ABC although it is groovy based. It will work still quite some time I reckon.
In SmartThings beta stock drivers there is a zigbee dimmer remote driver. There is one Sengled dimmer included in fingerprints. Could that be it? 
@ Scubaandre,
I’ve installed the DH, but can only assign 1 button with actions.
What am I doing wrong?
