#Using Styrbar via IKEA integration (not ZHA/Zigbee2MQTT), is it possible?

I have some IKEA devices linked directly via ZHA

However there are some items eg lights that I prefer to link via the IKEA hub and IKEA integration - because they're used heavily by my family and if I break HA than I want them to still work via smart switches or Alexa

For most of the things I link via the integration that's fine, eg I can activate lamps and smart switches... but I can't work out how to use the Styrbar smart switch. The only options I see in automations are Single Click/Double Click/Long Press and battery level changes, so there's no way (as far as I can tell) to see which button was pressed

I've tried googling but the responses all seem to relate to ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT which doesn't work for this use case

Is it possible to use the button pressed as a trigger while identifying which button was pressed?

#

I'm wondering if I can do something with events but I'm not sure how to get started - I've tried running debug logging on the IKEA Integration and then pressing some button switches, I see log entries for eg changing the colour temperature but I can't find an "event type" to listen to (eg I've tried dirigera_platform and hub_event_listener and similar likely candidates)

You can listen for events in dev tools -> events. Zha has its own event you can listen for, maybe the Ikea integration has one too

#

They should show up on that page

#

another option if that doesnt work, you can make an automation that listens to all events, and use conditions to filter out anything except for relevant keywords, then trigger some kind of action tht you can use to log the events and review them manually wait nvm that doesnt work you need to specify an event type

#

oh wait

#

you can listen to all event types by just entering *

#

then you can either listen through dev tools or filter through them with an automation
