New IKEA Matter buttons work with Zigbee

Development
1

Good evening everyone,

I’ve seen several topics on the forum about the new IKEA Matter devices and I don’t think I’ve seen the info here, but some of them are also compatible with Zigbee in addition to Thread/Matter. This is the case for the buttons BILRESA (the version with a roller as well). I did see that in Matter version there were some connection issues for some, on my side, I have three, they are connected in Zigbee and not a single issue for 2 weeks.

I think these buttons can be very interesting for those who already have a Zigbee network, the price is ultra competitive 7€ the button, and even 15€ the 3 so 5€ per unit I don’t think I’ve ever found a price equivalent for a button (excluding AliExpress). And if you want to switch to Matter in the future, you will already have compatible devices.

I just made a PR to add the actions on_double and off_double so that the remotes are fully functional

For those who want to test, an image is available bertrandda/gladys:zigbee-mapping and there is a small maneuver to do on the device to switch it to Zigbee mode IKEA E2489 control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT. Do not hesitate to ask if you need help

I am now wondering about the different states, based on the model I have, the different states are:

Action Z2M Interpretation
on single click top button
off single click bottom button
on_double double click top
off_double double click bottom
brightness_move_up long press top
brightness_move_down long press bottom
brightness_stop release from a long press (top or bottom)

Yes, that’s it, in a scene you can already use those in the trigger block, you will find them under these names
« On », « Off », « Increase brightness », « Reduce brightness », « Stop brightness »

For the doubles that are added with the ongoing PR, they will have this name
« On double », « Off double ».
I hesitate to put On double click and Off double click

I find that On double click is more explicit.

Thanks for your feedback. That’s what I thought I had seen… but the « stop brightness » action occurs when releasing a long click. And that’s where I can’t visualize a use!

Note: The translation preserves the original structure, including the quote attribution and formatting. The technical term « stop brightness » is kept as is, assuming it’s a specific action name in the context. The informal « Cest » is translated to « That’s » for natural flow in English.

I also tend to agree with this opinion.
