Changed options to work with GEN2 remote.

forgot to uncomment comments and added next and previous buttons

The buttons to next / previous track does not work for me.
(I have not updated firmare of music control device.)

I've updated the blueprint to remove the single and double dots option all together. I had someone on the HASS forums say they had issues as well.

Thank you for your reply. Could you clarify for me why you introduced a delay of 1 for the volume sequences? With my fork I removed the delay and it is working way smoother.

Using the updated version of this blueprint, the next / previous buttons work.

My daughter likes to press buttons really really quickly, i thought that limiting the up/down would slow down the process of ramping up and down with her button mashing.
I think I've changed it to milliseconds: 200 on volume down so she can quickly turn it down if its loud.

Thanks for the clarification. Do you have any idea on when the update for zha with the additional buttons will be available?

The pull request was submitted 3 days ago. Not sure how often they merge & update tho.

zigpy/zha-device-handlers#2273

Hello,

I cannot use your blueprint as we don't have some manufacturer & Device:

"manufacturer": "IKEA",
"model": "SYMFONISK sound remote gen2 (E2123)",
"sw_version": "1.0.012"

Do you believe it is feasible to adapt a bit the blue print ?

It might be, tho i suspect bits might change as they merge the changes for the extra buttons.
I've changed it to not require "SYMFONISK sound remote gen2" as the model (tho this might cause issues with people selecting gen1 round knob devices)

Hopefully that should help you.

ahhh super cool ! I'll test this straight away :) Many thanks
