Deconz-rest-plugin: IKEA five button remote multiple issues after pairing

[tubalainen]

Describe the bug

Two issues in one - related?
1.) Just added remote controls (switches) does not work proper - several reboots of deconz and home assistant required (very odd).
2.) Long release, button hold does not work (x001, x003)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Pairing of remote works as expected (adding a switch in Phoscon)
• (Renaming issue, see separate issue) https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/3332
• After restart of deconz - BUG - The right deconz_event is being sent to Home Assistant (in my case) but the automation does not trigger even if the "debug" clearly states the event data id is the new name I´ve set.
• There isnt any support for long press, long release and button hold. Just "short release" (x002) - Only x002 shows up in both home assistant and deconz logs.
• After several restarts of deconz and home assistant - it suddenly kicks to life and works, the deconz_event triggers and the automation just works - NOTHING changed, just restarts.
• BUG - The issue with Long press and long release remains. It just sends x002 never x001 and x003.

I have repeated this with three remotes (switches), IKEA on/off and IKEA 5 button round´s - all exactly the same behavior as above.

Expected behavior

1.) No multiple restarts should be needed after adding a remote control.
2.) The multiple button functions should work, long release and button hold

Environment

• Host system: Debian 9 under ESXi VM
• Running method: Marthoc Docker container
• Firmware version: (26370500)
• deCONZ version: (.82)
• Device: ConBee I
• Do you use an USB extension cable: no

This looks like a mess of hass related and deconz related issues 😣

@tubalainen Thanks for the extensive bug report. Could you make a different bug report for the renaming stuff? Now there's 2 things messed up in 1 issue.

[Mimiix]

@tubalainen Ehh?

@tubalainen Ehh?

Do not know what happened here, can you please reopen? Did not mean to close it. Must have been a slip of a button. My bad.

[Mimiix]

@tubalainen No problem 👍

[tubalainen]

Will split it soon as you suggested. :)

I have a similar problem with the IKEA 5 button remote, but specifically in conjunction with the left and right buttons of the tradfri remote. I cannot use them to manage the IKEA lamps white tone (colder .. warmer)

I had a similar problem in my bed room. One remote to control two lights. Dont remember how I solved it. I used one of the options below. :)
1.) Try to add the lights in question to a Phoscon group with the remote control and it should work.
2.) If that does not work, first join the remote to Phoscon - Then join it to the light (being very close to the bulb and hold down the join button on the remote).
