hello I have an IKEA Tradfri E1743 button, well recognized in zigbee2mqtt, in Gladys as well, but impossible to make it work in a scene, in the Z2MQTT interface you can clearly see the changes when clicking, I set Legacy mode to off but still nothing thanks ---

Thanks for creating a thread! From what you told me, you already created a scene and it wasn’t working? Can you explain in more detail what’s happening? - When you click the button, is the change reflected in Gladys? - On the dashboard, what do you see? (Screenshot if possible) - What scene did you create? (screenshot if possible) ---

Ok, that’s pretty clear, « no value recorded » on the dashboard You didn’t manage to get an input value? You told me you see the « React » button? ---

No reactions on the Gladys side, but yes in the Z2MQTT interface Here is what I see in Z2MQTT ![on off z2mqtt](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e359906b387cc612f3fd2742ea5f674c5339347e.jpeg) ---

Thanks for sharing the exposé! Actually I’m not sure the current integration supports it Can you create a feature request? 🙂 ---

Okay, I’ll do that, but I wonder if someone is already working on integrating this button? It would be a shame to miss out given the prices ---

No, nobody is working on this topic. I saw that it was mentioned several times on the forum, but there was no request! ---

Hi @pascal_sapin, I’m trying to see if it’s easy to add this button to Gladys! Could you send me a screenshot of each tab of this device in Zigbee2mtt? Thanks! 🙂 ---

Thank you for this integration — I’ll be able to buy some buttons I did a test, it works. Only drawback: one thing I don’t understand — do I have to create a scene for turning on and another for turning off, i.e. one for “on” and one for “off”??? ---

You have 2 ways to do this for these buttons : - Either you want a relatively standard setup and to operate « directly » with Zigbee-connected smart bulbs, you can go through Zigbee2mqtt and use the « bindings » ( Documentation : [Binding | Zigbee2MQTT](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/usage/binding.html) ). The advantage of the bindings is that everything works directly including if your home automation is down. @lmilcent uses this setup. - Or you want to create your own scenes in Gladys and manage everything yourself, and in that case you do indeed need to create a scene for each « case » 🙂 ---

OK thanks for the reply, in my case it’s the second option because apart from 2 Zigbee plugs, the rest are Sonoff
