Connecting to Ikea Button via SmartThing hub #50

Open djaahn opened 3 years ago

Hi

I'm trying to get an Ikea Button (connected via SmartThings) to excute a command in NodeRED. However, when I press the button I don't get a message in NodeRED.

In the devicelist in IDE I see the button but unlike my lightbulbs the button's "Execution Location" is "Cloud". Would this impact how I get the signal from the button?

On a sidenote I see that in the description of the Button-node it states that it will only send a message when the button is pushed or held. The Ikea button has a top and a bottom button, will this result in two different messages or just one? and how about the long press?

Should I use the Ikea hub instead and use Ikea-nodes, to get the full functionallity?

Thanks a bunch!
