Description​

This blueprint provides universal support for running any custom action when a button is pressed on the provided IKEA E2123 SYMFONISK sound remote, gen 2. Supports controllers integrated with Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA, deCONZ. The blueprint will automagically detect the integration type and take care of all the rest.

The blueprint handles double button press events natively as it is supported by the controller device itself.

tip

Automations created with this blueprint can be connected with one or more Hooks supported by this controller.
