IKEA RODRET Remote
The IKEA RODRET wireless dimmer as a native Control4 keypad, on the CORE's own Zigbee 3.0 mesh, no hub.
The RODRET (E2201) is IKEA's two-button wireless dimmer. This driver makes it a native Control4 keypad. The remote joins a CORE controller's Zigbee 3.0 mesh directly, with no IKEA hub and no other gateway in the path.
Pairing happens in Composer: Identify, four presses of the pairing button under the back cover, then any button once. The driver binds the remote's buttons to the controller and Bind Status reads Bound.
From then on each button behaves like a Control4 keypad button. Bind it to a light, a blind, a relay or a scene, program against its events, or test it from the keypad pop-up in Composer exactly as if it had been pressed.
- No hub
- The remote pairs straight onto the CORE's Zigbee 3.0 mesh. There is no IKEA gateway to buy, power or keep updated.
- A real Control4 keypad
- Keypad Events, Button Commands, Button Links and the Composer keypad pop-up all work, because the driver uses Control4's own keypad proxy.
- Hold to dim
- A short press sends push, release and click. A hold sends push and the release follows when the button is let go, so a linked light ramps for as long as the button is held.
- One button, several devices
- A Control4 Button Link reaches one device. Extra Links per button, up to three, let one press drive a light and a blind together.
- Double and triple tap
- Multi-Tap Detection adds double and triple tap events on each button, with an adjustable tap window. Off by default, so single presses report at once.
- Pairing you can diagnose
- Bind Status and Pairing Timeline show where pairing has got to, and Rebind Remote recovers the buttons after a battery change or a reset.

Does it need an IKEA hub?
No. The remote joins the CORE controller's own Zigbee 3.0 mesh and talks to the controller directly.
Will it work on my controller?
It needs a CORE controller on OS 4.2 or later with its Zigbee server set to Mesh Type Zigbee 3.0. The mesh type can only be chosen when the server is added, and changing it drops every device on the old mesh.
Does it work with other IKEA remotes?
No. The driver matches the RODRET (E2201) only.
What happens on a Control4 OS update?
The driver binds the buttons through a Control4 interface that is not publicly documented, so re-test the remote after an OS update.
