Smart Dimmer x IKEA E1743

This is an all in one Blueprit to use my Smart Dimmer dimming algorithms with the IKEA E1743 remote.

If you're already familiar with Smart Dimmer: you don't need to create the script if you use this blueprint.

Supported dimming algorithms

Timestamp: this algorithm should be used only if the lights are not ZHA devices compatible with the Zigbee Light Link standard. When you call the dimmming function (e.g. you hold down a button), the lights starts dimming to the highest/lowest brightness level with a 3s transition. When the button is released, the a new brightness will be calculated based on the time (in microseconds) the button has been pressed and sent to the lamp.

This algorithm has a known issue: sometimes the lights jumps to a completely different brightness when the button is released.

ZHA ZLL: this algoritm is optimized for Zigbee devices, when the button is released, a special Zigbee raw command is sent to the light, which stops the transition and answers with the current brightness. This command is not natively supported by Home Assistant, so I need to send a raw message, that's why I need the IEEE address.

ZHA Group: same as ZHA ZLL but for Zigbee groups (native Zigbee groups managed through the ZHA integration, doesn't work with software defined groups like the light_group component).

Note: You may need to click on "reconfigure device" (ZHA device page) if the light doesn't push back it's current brightness

Configuration

Input	Value	Notes
Remote	The remote device
Light	All the lights you want to turn on/off and dimm	At least one entity is needed, do not add only areas or devices
Dimmer helper (input_boolean)	An input_boolean helper	You can use the same entity for every instance of this blueprint
Dimmer helper (input_text)	An input_text helper	You can use the same entity for every instance of this blueprint
Dimming mode	The algorithm to use, see above	Timestamp may be unstable for now, I need to find a way to address the issue
IEEE or Group ID	Light's Zigbee IEEE address if you selected "ZHA ZLL light" as dimming mode, Zigbee group ID if you selected "ZHA Group"	This value doesn't matter if you're using Timestamp

Usage

Just press the buttons
