Controllerx: E1744 (Symfonisk Sound Controller) mapping not working

[Veeedka]

I've found that the output of the Symfonisk controllers doesn't seem to match up with the displayed outputs shown in the ikea.py file - The outputs of the controller are as follows:

"rotate_left" (twist left) instead of "brightness_move_down"
"rotate_right" (twist right) instead of "brightness_move_up"
"rotate_stop" (stop twisting) instead of "brightness_stop"
"play_pause" (click) instead of "toggle"
"skip_forward" (double click) intead of "brightness_step_up"
"skip_backward" (triple click) instead of "brightness_step_down"

I've confirmed these via the zigbee2mqtt add-in, however changing these names in ikea.py does not show any output in the log file of the Appdaemon docker container.

Am I missing something here?

Hi @Veeedka,

This is because the current mapping for this controller is for when the legacy: false is added in the devices.yaml. You can read more about this in the FAQ # 8. Also if you are using the sensor for this controller I would recommend you to check FAQ # 9 as well.

Regarding changing the python file (ikea.py), you can change it, but then the AppDaemon needs to be restarted to refresh the changes. However, this is something I do not recommend you since if you upgrade version, then you will lose those changes. Instead, you can add a custom mapping with mapping attribute, you can add in there any actions you want with YAML configuration.

Let me know if you have any questions about this, happy to help.

Regards,
Xavi M.
