I've been creating drivers for the modern IKEA buttons that were not supported yet, namely RODRET, SOMRIG and SYMFONISK gen 2 remote.Also the new STYRBAR version in another thread.Extended the support to TRADFRI on/off and 5-button so you can use the custom features and hopefully make it work in new firmware versions.. Beware of buttons made after May 2024, they might include new firmwares.. IKEA Rodret vs Somrig . Have been using Rodret Zigbee switches and they are great and only £5. Noticed IKEA now has a new offering, the Somrig Zigbee switch, for £7. They are calling it a shortcut button, rather than a dimmer switch. The Rodret is marked on their site as a best seller.
Turn SOMRIG into your personalised smart home hero by adding scenes from the IKEA Home smart app. Assign 1-6 scenes from the app and select which to start with single press, double press, or long press. With a smart home from IKEA, it's easy to create smarter everyday moments with lighting, speakers, blinds and air quality products.. IKEA SOMRIG Shortcut Button Performance and Reliability As I expected with ZigBee on board, the SOMRIG Shortcut Button's performance was/is excellent. Pressing either button in any manner results in actions taking effect within a few seconds and to me, it seems to be contingent on the reaction speed of the corresponding devices through Apple Home automation.
