I also want this support! If everyone fills out the form in the link above i am sure athom will prioritize it- in the mean time I will investigate a workaround.

As far as I can see, the only workaround for now is to run zigbee2mqtt (they support the button) on a separate server and then pick up the button using a mqtt listener on homey.

Wonder how difficult it would be to create a pr to [GitHub - athombv/com.ikea.tradfri](https://github.com/athombv/com.ikea.tradfri).

Look at the test version on the store. That one is already available for v5 users.

Hi  
I’ve installed the experimental version of ikea trådfri 1.8.4 (/test) but the shortcut button is not available.  
I’m on homey v 5.0.

Have you managed to install the shortcut button?

It’s not supported by the IKEA app (test or otherwise).

Looks like there is support in the test version in app store. Haven’t tested it out yet, but looks promising!

In a browser, go to the app in the store. edit the url by adding /test at the end. If there is a test version, you should see a page with an orange banner saying it is an experimental version. Install from there.
