Ikea Shortcut button double press

[frogger11]

Issue

Hi I have a question regarding the Ikea Shortcut button. It seems that the latest firmware for button/ (Ikea hub) gives extra functionality with double press. Is this something that could be added to the Homebridge-Hue plugin?

Thank you for this good plugin.

Is it supported by deCONZ already? Do you know the issue and/or PR?

That's a good question. I didn't think as far as that, but I'll look into it. So, if I understand you correctly, it seams that deCONZ currently has a limitation?

When I added support for the shortcut button to deCONZ, in https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/pull/3975, it only sent Zigbee commands on press/release, on hold, and on release after hold. deCONZ maps these to buttonevent value 1002 (which Homebridge Hue maps to Single Press) and to 1001/1003 (Long Press).

I expect (hope), the latest firmware of the button now causes it to send a Zigbee message on double press. deCONZ would need to map this to 1004, so Homebridge Hue can map it to Double Press.

I see. I figured out that I have HA installed and can listen to what the button sends with deconz_event. Below is what occurs when I double click with the latest firmware 2.3.080. I have two shortcut buttons, and the other one has the older firmware that has the command you mentioned. This "2002" appears to have been added.

can listen to what the button sends with deconz_event.

That’s what deCONZ makes from what the button sends, not what the button actually sends. The 2002 doesn’t make sense, as the device physically only has one button. I suppose on double press, it sends the command that the on/off button sends on press/release of the Off button. The shortcut button shares the button map with the on/off button.

Now we just have to wait for deCONZ v2.19.

That sounds promising. Looking forward to it. Thanks.
