Home Assistant Blueprints: ZHA version for controlling media players with an Ikea Symfonisk
blueprint:
# Author Eric Kreuwels, Copyright 2022, publices under the free MIT license conditions
# This blueprint was inspired by:
# https://community.home-assistant.io/t/zha-ikea-symfonisk-sound-controller-for-media-the-spinny-one/266130
# This version requires to recreate your automations that are based on the version above (new options and therefor not compatible)
# Changes compared to the one that inspired me:
# moved from raw ZHA events to ZHA Symfonisk Device events (raw event attributes changed to often to keep it working)
# added configuration inputs for changing the volume delay and number of volume steps
# added option to either pause (default) or mute for single press action
# restricted the player selection to entities only
name: ZHA - IKEA Symfonisk sound controller for media
description: 'Control media with an IKEA Symfonisk sound controller (the spinny
ones).
Single press will either toggle Play/Pause(default) of Mute/Unmute on your selected media player.
You can set functions for double press and triple press.
Rotating left/right will change the volume smoothly of the selected media player,
if that function is possible. Both a delay between volume changes and the number of volume steps can be configured'

Nice to hear that the blueprint is useful for you. Very nice idea, but I’m limited by the events that the symfonisk produces. Things like Rotate while pressed is not available. You can easily check it yourself. Create an automation, choose device as trigger and select your symfonisk. Then you will see the really limited list of events.
Best Eric

Thanks for your response. This is just stupid, I didn't even think of trying that.

Well thanks for the great work you did on this :D

In this case I promote your blueprint to the PERFECT status :D

This worked a treat. Is there any way to have it self discovery in HA like other blueprint. Took me weeks before I stumbled upon your github page.

Officially publishing blueprints is also a commitment for support I don't have time for. Gist is great way to share things, as they are.
I hope it fulfills your needs 👍
