Bug - IKEA E1810 up and down buttons don't work

[DanielAdari]

Blueprint name

Controller - IKEA E1524/E1810 TRÅDFRI Wireless 5-Button Remote

Home Assistant Core Version

2025.12.3

Home Assistant Installation Type

Home Assistant Container

Description

After pairing the controller with ZHA, and creating the blueprint, everything seems to work apart from up and down (all kinds of presses).

When short pressing the up button, I'm seeing the following in the Activity pane on the remote's device page:

Daniel's Remote Step With On Off event was fired with parameters: {'step_mode': <StepMode.Up: 0>, 'step_size': 43, 'transition_time': 5}

And for a down short press:

Daniel's Remote Step event was fired with parameters: {'step_mode': <StepMode.Down: 1>, 'step_size': 43, 'transition_time': 5, 'options_mask': <OptionsMask: 0>, 'options_override': <Options: 0>}

Did anyone else encounter this problem?

Thanks!

Automation YAML config

alias: Daniel's Remote - Controller
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: EPMatt/ikea_e1524_e1810.yaml
  input:
    integration: ZHA
    controller_device: bad94b0d7fb3d738921c88bcb1eebca8
    helper_last_controller_event: input_text.daniel_s_remote_last_event
    action_button_down_short:
      - action: light.toggle
        metadata: {}
        target:
          entity_id: light.daniels_ac_panel_light
        data: {}

To Reproduce

1. Pair an IKEA Tradfri E1810 using ZHA
2. Create a controller automation from the blueprint
3. Add an action for the down / up button presses

Can you try my fork

@yarafie I managed to get this working by manually changing the YAML to the correct events emitted by ZHA...
Does your fork have those updated?

Mind sharing the changes you made? I’ve got an E1524 using ZHA, and up/down doesn’t work for me either.

@samuellinde Sure!
I've used this PR for reference -> #434
I needed to remove the bitmap8. from those changes to make it work...
You can also see the last event in the remote's event log and make sure each button's event matches the ones in the blueprint.
Good luck!

It does not work for me either. When will this be fixed in the main blueprint?
