Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

In this series of videos I’ll show you all of the available IKEA Zigbee remotes plus the plugtop and a light bulb, with Home Assistant and Node Red. I’ll get them setup into Home Assistant using Zigbee2MQTT and an CC2531.

This removes the need to use the IKEA integration, and the TRADFRI Gateway. I’ll give you examples for the configuration.yaml and start to look at the use within Node Red.

Find within this page

Click the device below to find the relevant configuration.yaml :

Configuration.yaml

Below, I’ll give you the examples used in the videos for setting up your own devices within your Home Assistant instance. You’ll need to update the name within your config. I’ll state the name used for each device so you can do a simple find and replace within the text.

Remember, if you have any devices within “sensor:” or “binary_sensor:” domains, already then you’ll just add the examples underneath.
